Hawks’ Heartbreaking Defeat: Semi-Final Dream Shattered in a Nail-Biting Finish

19/11/2024 Raymond 0

Port Adelaide produced one of the most dramatic comebacks in AFLW history, overturning a 22-point deficit in the final term to defeat Hawthorn by a single point, 7.8 (50) to 6.13 (49). The Power’s remarkable resurgence was powered by Abbey Dowrick, Gemma Houghton, and Matilda Scholz, who combined for four goals in the final quarter, stunning the Hawks and securing a spot in next week’s preliminary final against North Melbourne.

Despite a strong start from Hawthorn, including an early goal from Ella Boag, Port Adelaide remained resilient. As the match progressed, the Hawks struggled to convert their opportunities, and the Power’s speed and unpredictability in ball movement began to take control. Houghton and Dowrick led the charge, with Houghton’s dynamic performance helping to break the Hawks’ defensive structure.

Port Adelaide’s win was a testament to their first-year players, who rose to the occasion when it mattered most, while Hawthorn’s injury woes and inability to keep up with the Power’s pace ultimately saw them fall short.

Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus stood by his decision to let the clock run down before their final field goal attempt in a heart-wrenching 20-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Despite the disappointment of their fourth straight defeat, Eberflus insisted that, given the circumstances, he would make the same choice again. The Bears had a chance to end their losing streak, but the Packers blocked Cairo Santos’ 46-yard field goal attempt as time expired.

Eberflus explained that while he would have preferred a closer kick, the risks of running another play—such as penalties or mistakes—outweighed the potential reward. “You feel good about your decision there,” he said. As the Bears continue to struggle, sitting at the bottom of the NFC North, safety Kevin Byard reminded the team that despite the losses, they must remain united and focused on improving. “We don’t come in this building to lose,” Byard emphasized.

Following their victory over the Baltimore Ravens, the Pittsburgh Steelers have firmly positioned themselves in control of their own fate this season. With a strong finish, they could secure the top spot in the AFC, but the question remains: Are they truly the best team in the conference?

Despite some struggles on offense, the Steelers’ defense has been dominant, making them a formidable contender. As they face tough divisional matchups ahead, the Steelers remain in the conversation for the top seed and potentially the title of AFC’s best.

The Ravens’ loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday was a culmination of familiar issues that have plagued them all season. Penalties, turnovers, and breakdowns in coverage overshadowed the team’s potential and dropped them to the sixth seed in the AFC standings. Even Justin Tucker, the league’s most reliable kicker, showed signs of a troubling slump. While the division race isn’t over, Baltimore’s path forward hinges on their ability to eliminate self-inflicted wounds. With crucial games ahead, including a rematch with the Steelers in Week 16, John Harbaugh must find a way to tighten the ship—or risk seeing the season slip away.
