Denver beats Pittsburgh in OT: 29-23
The kid they said could throw the ball in the NFL.
All he does is go 10 of 21 for 316 yards. Passes of 40, 52, 58 and 30 for a TD and 80 for the winning TD.
WR Demaryius Thomas caught four of those ten completions including the 52, 58 and 80 yarders for 204 total yards and the winning TD.
One hell of a performance by both Tim Tebow and Demaryius Thomas!
The Broncos move on to face New England next weekend.

Oh, and the Giants beat the stuffing out of Atlanta 24-2 in the early game.

Hoo-weee! J-E-T-S! JETS! JETS! JETS!
They did it again! The Jets defense proved too much for the Chargers and the offense played just well enough and scored just enough points to win the game, 17-14.
Now the Jets get to go back to Indianapolis to play the Colts. I don't think the Colts will be pulling their starters out of this one. But then again, neither did the Bengals last week and it didn't do them any good.
Will the Jets win this one and go to the Super Bowl? They won't be favored, that's for sure. But it's one game at a time and winner take all. The Jets have a lot to prove but so do the Colts.

And in the NFC, the Vikings beat the snot out of the Cowboys, 34-3. Bret Favre threw for over 300 yards and four touchdowns while the Viking defense sacked Tony Romo six times.
Next week the Vikings travel to New Orleans to square off against the Saints. Can the northers beat the southers? Well Vikings are known for their sea raids against rich ports. If the defense upsets Drew Brees as much as they did Romo, the Old Man (Favre) will take care of the offense and the Vikes could be back in the Super Bowl.

Playoff Football
The Jets will be going to San Diego to face the Chargers after the Ravens dismantled the Patriots yesterday. Traditionally, the Jets (like the Mets) don't fare well on the west coast. This year, the Jets made one trip out that way and walloped the Oakland Raiders 38-0 but that's hardly a measure to trust--everyone beat up on the Raiders this year.
The Chargers' strengths are their passing offense (#4 in the NFL) and their rushing defense (#5). The Jets' strengths are their passing defense (#8 in the league) and their rushing offense (#12)--and improving after the last two weeks. With WR Vincent Jackson having an achilles problem and listed as questionable for the Chargers, it will be interesting to see who Darrelle Revis of the Jets is assigned to guard. As goes Revis, so goes the Jets' pass defense seems to be the popular wisdom, but they will also need more pressure and sacks from the front line.

Did you watch the Green Bay-Arizona game yesterday? This has to have been one of the most entertaining postseason games in a long while.
The Cardinals 51-45 overtime victory over the Packers set a postseason record for points as Warner and Rodgers came out slinging as they combined for 801 yards through the air. Rodgers had 422 yards and 4 TDs while Warner had 379 and 5 TDs. Yet the game was won on a defensive play. After featuring virtually only a token defense by either team resulted in a 45-45 tie during regulation, it was the Cardinals' defense that won the game with a Karlos Dansby fumble recovery returned for a touchdown. You might say that that play was the answer to the Arizona place kicker Neil Rackers' prayers after he pulled a relatively short field goal attempt with seconds on the clock.
During regulation, it seemed only a matter of time before the offensive team scored a TD. The defenses could only slow the proceedings and not prevent the result.
Best line of the day was delivered as they went into overtime the TV announcer, who was probably massaging his sore neck from having to swivel his eyes back and forth across the field so quickly to follow the plays, said something to the effect: "It's a good thing we're not playing college overtime rules or we'd be here all night." Up to that point, he was 100% correct. It didn't seem as if either side could make a stand. (Although, ironically, Green Bay did force a punt early in the fourth quarter that allowed them to score two consecutive TDs and tie the game at 35 apiece.)
