Packers vs Bears - The Packers had the upper hand in most, if not all, of this game. They clearly outplayed the Bears, though it wasn't a blowout; the game, as a whole, didn't have a lot of scoring to it. The final was 21-14, Packers, making them the NFC Champions and sending them to the Super Bowl.
Jets vs Steelers - Everyone saw this one coming. There was a point where the score was 24-3 Jets, and I believe that may have actually been at halftime. Their defense and offense, compared with the Jets' inability to move the ball down the field (likely due to the Steelers' defense as well as some miscommunications within the team), shut the Jets down. To their credit, though, the Jets came alive towards the end, and were within a touchdown of winning. If they had managed to take possession of the ball in the last two or three minutes and score a touchdown, and then keep Pittsburgh from scoring, they would have won. But this elaborate plan fell through, as Pittsburgh held on to the ball in the critical moments. You knew it was over when Rex Ryan slammed his headset down. The final score was 24-19, Steelers, making them the AFC Champions and sending them to the Super Bowl.

NFL Playoffs - Divisionals Day 2
Seahawks vs Bears - The Seahawks' miracle run ended today. They actually made a pretty good comeback, considering. For most of the game, it was a shut-out -- the Bears were ahead by twenty-something points and the score was twenty-something to zero. The final score was 35-24, but the Seahawks, though they managed to lessen the damage by a lot, could not nullify it, and they lost.
Jets vs Patriots - What a game. The Patriots had the upper hand at first, finishing the first quarter off with a field goal. But, the next quarter, the Jets went to work, making it a 14-3 score at halftime. The Patriots began to catch up the third quarter, but the fourth quarter was the big one. Both teams scored in the final quarter - the Jets added another 14 points onto their score, and the Patriots made a valiant effort to catch up, scoring 10 points. But, the game was decided even before the timer ran out -- they started celebrating (with backflips, literally) with something like 0:23 left. The final score was 28-21 Jets, leaving an intense game with the other number one seed knocked out - another upset, one might say.
