Sunday NFL Divisional Playoffs Recap
Sunday, January 17, 2010 at 9:03PM 
Rex Ryan is making believers all across the NFL country. It is great to have a personality in a head coach instead of the same boxed up soundbytes. Of the four divisional games, I did not expect the Jets to be the road team that came out on top.
New York’s defense stifled Phillip and the Chargers. I always enjoy the Norv cutaway shots on the sidelines. He and Wade Phillips make the whiniest faces.
Those missed field goals were huge, however, I give the game mvp to the Jets offensive line. They opened up holes in that smashmouth running game. Darrelle Revis was a close second. Revis gets a shot at Reggie Wayne next week.
The Vikings pounding the Cowboys did not surprise me at all. I predicted a two touchdown victory. The national media fell in love with the overhyped cowpokes and for some reason everyone slept on Minnesota. Like I said in my prediction blog earlier this week, the Vikings really don’t have a weakness.
Here are the matchups and the times for the Conference Championships.

Vikings only weakness imo is their secondary...it will be a tough match up against the saints and I think they will struggle to slow that passing attack. Should be a great game! If the Jets can keep manning off the field I think they will have a chance, but Revis can't cover both Wayne and Clark at the same time. I think Clark will be difference...and it will be closer than people expect.
I've got the Vikings and Colts moving on....how about you?
