It was the first weekend of the NFL PLayoffs and the surprises started right off the bat. In the first game of the round the defending Superbowl Champion Saints were stunned by the 7-9 Seahawks. The Seahawks locked the game in on an unbeliavable 67 yard TD run by Marshawn Lynch which put them up 11 points.
The other half of last seasons Super Bowl, the Indianapolis Colts were also eliminated Saturday Night when the New York Jets scored kicked a fieldgoal as time expired to win the game 17-16 and send Peyton Manning home until next year. I'll never say this again but thank you Nick Folk.
Sundays games were just as exciting. In the early game the Ravens dominated the Chiefs, who turned the ball over 5 times, 30-7. In the later game Michael Vick's unbeliavable comeback season ended with an interception which sealed the game for the Packers 21-16.
This set up a great Divisional weekend with these games: Packers @ Falcons, Seahawks @ Bears, Ravens @ Steelers, and Jets @ Patriots.
Since I don't know much about sports, I'll surely learn some great information from your blog!
