NFL Divisional Round

The NFL divisional round of the play-offs was this weekend.  Seattle traveled to Atlanta in the first game.  Atlanta's offense with Matt Ryan and Julio Jones was tops in the NFL this season but the Seattle defense has traditionally been formidable.  Unfortunately the offense proved to be too much and Seattle was dismissed from the playoffs, 36-20 Falcons.  The second game was New England hosting Houston.  While the final outcome was as the experts predicated, the Texan defense played quite well and turned Brady over twice.  The final score reflects the Texans inability to produce on offense, 34-16 Patriots.  The third and fourth games exchanged time slots due to weather in Kansas City.  In the third game, the Packers jumped out to a 21-3 lead on the Cowboys however the 'Boy fought back and the game was tied with 35 seconds left in regulation after a Bailey field goal.  Aaron Rodgers took the field with two timeouts in his pocket.  On third and forever, he rolled out to his left and found Cook (a TE) who made a phenomenal shoestring catch to setup a 51 yard field goal attempt.  Crosby knocked it through, 34-31 Packers.  The final game of the night was more of a defensive battle.  The Steelers failed to make the end-zone and their kicker made a playoff record six field goals.  The Chiefs had a chance late when they scored a touchdown to make the game 18-16 with a two point attempt pending.  Smith threw a strike and for a second the game was tied.  Unfortunately a yellow rag lay on the ground - holding Chiefs.  The second attempt failed and the Chiefs defense couldn't force a three and out.  18-16 Steelers.
