San Francisco 49ers 36 New Orleans Saints 32
San Fran capitalized early on with turnovers taking a early 17-0 lead, then Drew Brees roared back and cut the deficit to 3 at half-time. In the 4th quarter with 2 minutes left and the Saints up 24-23, 9ers QB Alex Smith scampers for a 28 yard rushing td. About 15 seconds later, the Saints get the ball back and Drew Brees heaves up a prayer to Tight End Jimmy Graham who comes down with it and runs for a 66 yard touchdown to put the Saints up 32-29 with 1:37 left. Alex Smith and the 9ers then drove down the field and with 14 seconds left, Smith threw a dart to Tight End Vernon davis for the game winning touchdown.
New England Patriots 45 Denver Broncos 10
This game was over 1:50 into the 1st quarter when Brady drove the Pats down the field and threw the first of his 6 td passes, this one going to Wes Welker. Tight End Rob Gronkowski would catch 3 others. As for Tim Tebow, he was getting chased around all night and got dropped 5 times.
Baltimore Ravens 20 Houston Texans 13
Baltimore took at 17- 13 lead at half-time and after that it turned into a defensive struggle between two great defenses. Baltimore forced rookie QB T.J. Yates to throw 3 interceptions including the last one which occurred with 2 minutes left in the 4th in the end zone to safety Ed Reed.
New York Giants 37 Green Bay Packers 20
The Giant defense harassed the once vaunted Green Bay offense all day by forcing 4 turnovers, 3 of them forced fumbles and sacking Aaron Rodgers 4 times. On offense, the GMEN also succeeded with Eli Manning having a great day, throwing for 330 yard and 3 tds, one of them coming on a Hail Mary to end the first half that Hakeem Nicks caught. The Green Bay Packers in my opinion were not ready to handle the cold that is the Frozen Tundra at Lambeau after the last two years having all their playoff games on the road.
