They showed the world why they are the defending Super Bowl Champions. Down 8 points late in the game the Giants battled back to win in overtime. The road to the Super Bowl in the NFC must go through New York. Up Next: Minnesota Vikings |

The Titans showed why they are the class of the AFC, out dueling the mighty Steelers in a must win game. Tennessee has clinched the conference and will enjoy a first round bye in the playoffs. Up Next: Indianapolis Colts |

In a game that decided home field advantage throughout the playoffs the Steelers came up short. In a battle of the top defenses in the league the Titans proved to be stingier. Up Next: Cleveland Browns |

What a crushing loss for the Panthers. They were a field goal away from holding a share of the lead in the conference, now they will be playing for a first round bye, with the danger of dropping to the No. 5 seed. Up Next: New Orleans Saints |

Would you look at who has resurrected their team! The Colts are on an absolute roll, winners of 8 in a row they are a scary first round opponent. It is not how you start the season it is how you finish, look out AFC. Up Next: Tennessee Titans |

The Patriots absolutely manhandled the Cardinals this weekend. Matt Cassel looked great again but the Patriots will need help in order to slip into the playoffs. Up Next: Buffalo Bills |

What can you say about this football team that has not already been said. To come into a season full of controversy, a rookie quarterback, unproven running back and make the playoffs, kudos to the Falcons. Up Next: St. Louis Rams |

The Ravens emphasis has always been on their defense, this year is no different. They do however, have a quarterback that is not afraid to make some plays and therefore, the offense looks a lot more comfortable. Up Next: Jacksonville Jaguars |

If someone told me that this team was going to be in first place in the division with one week left, I would have told them their crazy. Tony Sparano is a top 2 candidate for The Coach of the Year. Up Next: New York Jets |

The Dallas Cowboys are in big trouble, they are in danger of missing the playoffs and we know that is not sitting well with Jerry Jones. If they cannot clinch a spot heads may fly this off season. Up Next: Philadelphia Eagles |

The Buccaneers have hit a downfall at the wrong time, they have lost three straight games and their defense has gone south. They do, however, hold their destiny in their hands, a win next week and their in. Up Next: Oakland Raiders |

What an emotional win for the Chicago Bears, the offense was non-existent for the first three quarters. Matt Forte really woke up late in the game and the special teams came up with key blocked field goal to keep their playoff hopes alive. Up Next: Houston Texans |

Lost fumbles was the demise of the Vikings this week. Their inability to hold onto the pigskin cost them an important touchdown and ended several drives. Up Next: New York Giants |

It has been an up and down year for McNabb, but this weeks loss to the struggling Redskins may have cost the Eagles a postseason berth. It's hard to say if McNabb will be wearing green and white next year. Up Next: Dallas Cowboys |

One step forward, two steps back for the Cardinals, just when we think they have everything on track, the wheels come spinning off. The Cardinals may be entering the postseason with little confidence, not good for a team that does not go to the playoffs consistently. Up Next: Seattle Seahawks |

It seems that no team from the AFC West deserves to be playing in the post season. The Broncos have given the Chargers new life by losing their last two games, setting up a match up with their division rival next week. Up Next: San Diego Chargers |

What has happened to the New York Jets? At one point they were in control of the division but after losing 3 of its last 4 games they are on the outside looking in. Up Next: Miami Dolphins |

Drew Brees has been great all season for the Saints, but he cannot carry a team on his own. The Saints had too many injuries to key players and were unable to really get on track. Up Next: Carolina Panthers |

Three weeks ago it looked like the Chargers were dead, but after three straight victories, coupled with 2 Denver loses the Chargers have a chance to get into the playoffs. If they can win next week they get in. Up Next: Denver Broncos |

There was so much promise from this Redskins team early in the season. After a 4-1 start many people had the Skins being the sleeper of the NFC. Up Next: San Francisco 49ers |

The Bills seem to be a solid team when they have Trent Edwards, it finally seemed like the Bills were going to reach the playoffs this year, but the injury to Edwards really hurt them. They should be in the hunt next year. Up Next: New England Patriots |

Is Shaun Hill the future in San Francisco? I guess we will have to wait until next season to find out that answer. Up Next: Washington Redskins |

Aaron Rodgers has had a very good season in his first year. It is almost hard to believe the Packers are only 5-10, they should be better next year as they must look to shore up that defense. Up Next: Detroit Lions |

The Seahawks may be in rebuilding mode once this season is complete. Mike Holmgrem will not be coaching this team next season after so many great years with the team. Up Next: Arizona Cardinals |

The Browns have hit a new low, they got shutout this week at home against the Bengals. There is no excuse for effort and the Browns have obviously quit on the season. Up Next: Pittsburgh Steelers |

To say that the Jaguars 4-11 season is disappointing is a massive understatement. This team had visions of making a Super Bowl run this year, after last season magical playoff push. Up Next: Baltimore Ravens |

We strongly believe this team will never get back on track until Al Davis resigns. The attitude in that locker room must change for this team to start winning again. Up Next: Tampa Bay Buccaneers |

At least the Chiefs will have a quarterback next season, Tyler Thigpen has been the lone bright spot for this football team. Up Next: Cincinnati Bengals |

The Detroit Lions, the laughing stock of the NFL, they are looking to put themselves in the record books when they travel to Green Bay next week. Up Next: Green Bay Packers |
