Talk about backing the wrong horse! I figured either Dallas or the Jets were the teams most capable of pulling off the upset, and I went with the better quarterback. I was wrong. Romo looked like the Romo of playoffs past. He had a terrible game with three turnovers, and appeared shellshocked for most of the game. His line didn't help him any allowing six sacks on 10 hits. Too bad, because their defense did create pressure three sacks on seven hits. However, Minnesota dominated with 75 more yards on offense, went 50% in the red zone, allowing just one chance for the Cowboys, who couldn't convert it into a touchdown, and were +3 in the turnover battle. This leads us to a juicy NFC Championship showdown with the Saints.

I keep picking against the Jets- for the same reason the Sanchez turnover machine- and they keep winning. Go figure! Their defense kept them in the game, because they did not allow the deep ball, which makes the Chargers offense move. They won despite allowing the Chargers to go 67% in the red zone and allowing 80 more yards of offense. The big difference was their +1 advantage in the turnover battle, and three missed Nate Kaeding field goals. I'm excited to see the rematch between the Jets and Colts, since it was Indy that allowed them to make the playoffs for laying down in Week 16.
At half time the San Diego Chargers had it and let it slip away. What a bunch of losers and Nate you were real helpful in realizing this loss.
