NFL Divisional Round

The NFL divisional rounds have concluded, and these are the results:

ARIZONA def. CAROLINA 33-13
BALTIMORE def. TENNESSEE 13-10
PHILADELPHIA def. NEW YORK 23-11
PITTSBURGH def. SAN DIEGO 35-24

This round of the playoffs saw 3 out of 4 top-seeds fall out of contention, including the Super Bowl Champion N.Y. Giants. San Diego saw the end of their Cinderella story, while Arizona saw its own story continue. A big controversy hit the Titans-Ravens game, as the referees did not call a delay-of-game when Baltimore's play-clock hit zero during their game-winning drive. Pittsburgh's Willie Parker (above) continues his Steeler legacy, as he rushed for 146 yards and 2 touchdowns, and Eli Manning's (left) legacy hit a snag as he went 15-for-29 with 2 interceptions. Next week is the AFC and NFC Conference championships, with the Ravens going to Pittsburgh and the Eagles flying into Arizona.
