Super Bowl XLIX is going to be a good matchup regardless of the outcomes this weekend, and that’s because of the great players that are still in the hunt for the championship.

Great players don’t win championships on their own, but they sure do help.

The final four teams in the 2014 NFL playoffs each had five players selected to the 2015 Pro Bowl , and each team is loaded with talent in their own way.

Although 20 players from the upcoming weekend got selected for the Pro Bowl – and a handful of other players could easily make a case to be in it, too – this will be a list of who I believe are the 10 best players left in the playoffs.

Players that were very hard to leave out: Vontae Davis, Eddie Lacy, Clay Matthews, Bobby Wagner, Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor

Yeah, there’s that much talent playing this weekend.
