GAME #1 -  Cincinnati Bengals vs. Houston Texans (10-31) Final

This game was the 1st playoff game in NFL history featuring 2 rookie starting quarterbacks: Bengals’ TJ Yates vs. Texans’ Andy Dalton. The Houston Texans won their first playoff game in franchise history.

GAME #2 - Detroit Lions vs. New Orleans Saints (28-45) Final

To no one's surprise, another record was broken by the New Orleans Saints!  Most yards in post season history at 626 yards and tied the record with 34 first downs.

GAME #3 -  Atlanta Falcons vs. New York Giants (2-24) Final

The Falcons are the only team in NFL history to only have scored 2 points in a playoff game. Sad, just sad.

GAME #4 - Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Denver Broncos (23-29) Final/OT

Well it was Tebow-Time again!  The Denver Broncos won in overtime in just 11 seconds…the quickest ending to an overtime in NFL history!  THE UPSET OF THE WEEKEND, FOR SURE!


Next Weekend:
New Orleans Saints vs. San Francisco 49ers 
Saturday, January 14th at 3:30pm CST

MY PICKS FOR NEXT WEEKEND:  Saints over the 49ers, Patriots over the Broncos, Ravans over the Texans and the Packers over the Giants. BAM!

  1. LSU or Alabama? Louisiana love aside.

    Has Saban made the adjustments or will the hatter find another rabbit?
