Wild Card Weekend: NFC

The excitement continues. Vikings gave up a turnover early. Stop (FG) and their own FG. A trick play leads to a TD. They drive/stopped and only get a FG. But, Saints get a turnover themselves. Saints miss a makeable FG earlier and then seem to play for OT & make a longer one. But, Vikings win the toss and THIS time, on third down (after being pushed back), do score on 1st and Goal. Upset. Vikings fought adversity and their defense held Saints.

Seattle had reason to find losing next week and getting the Eagles over the Vikings not a bad thing, even if they missed a home game. More so when ex-Jet (and various other teams) Josh McCown had to come in for the injured Eagles QB. Seattle scored near the end of the Half to make it 10-3 and after the Eagles had to kick a short FG on the other end, Seattle quickly scored again. 17-6. Game was basically over then though the final score was merely 17-9 and could have been even closer if the Eagles didn't go for it somewhat late. That was the same score with the regular QB in when they played in November. Blah if expected.

So three wild card teams won; one lost in OT.
