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.

NFL Playoffs - Wild Card Day 1
Saints vs Seahawks - Wow. Not only have the Seahawks been making waves with being the only team in the playoffs with a losing record (I think in league history), but they beat the Saints, and beat them pretty thoroughly. 41-36 was the final score.
Jets vs Colts - Tight game, it was. I saw the beginning and the end. The beginning, I remember, took over a quarter to get a score on the board. Indianapolis scored first, then the Jets tied it up. Fast forward to the fourth quarter, 14-13 Jets. The Colts' star kicker gets a field goal from (double-checking with ESPN here) the 50 yard line. And it was a model kick, too, all nice and straight and...it was a doozy. Problem for the Jets was, there was less than a minute on the board now. ESPN says it was at 53 seconds left. They turnover to the Jets, some good rushes, some good plays get them to the 32 yard line. The clutch catch that gets them there is close but doesn't go out of bounds, so the clock is still running. It stops at three seconds and they attempt a field goal, there, a tooth's skin away from losing. The crowd was silent until you heard a player shout "YES!!!" - field goal successful! Final score, 17-16 Jets.
