Wow, what a great day of football watching enjoyment! After two great games that any sports fan could enjoy, the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts are headed to Miami and Super Bowl XLIV.
In the AFC Championship Game, the New York Jets took on the Indianapolis Colts. The Jets had a strong first half and were leading 17-13 at half time. However, in the second half Peyton Manning led the Colts to victory as they scored 17 unanswered points.
The NFC Championship Game could also be known as the Turnover Bowl. Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings took on the New Orleans Saints. It was an exciting game as Favre and Brees matched touchdowns. To add to the excitement were the nine fumbles (six by the Vikings) and two interceptions. The second interception was Favre's biggest mistake in the game, which occurred in the final minute of regular play, and sent the game into overtime. Touchdown after touchdown, a slew of turnovers, and a 40-yard field goal to win the game in OT... what's not to love?
The Saints and Colts are on their way to the Super Bowl and will meet in Miami on February 7. Get ready for two weeks of trash talk, game analysis, and hype.
And yes, we got this week's predictions correct, again.
