In a topsy-turvy Saturday game Tom Brady and the Patriots overcame two 14 point deficits to defeat Joe Flacco and and a tough Raven team 35-31 at home. Later Seattle swamped the Panthers 31-17 with Russell Wilson, a savage defense, and the 12th man in attendance at CenturyLink Field.
Sunday saw more of the same at historic Lambeau as the Packers battled back to beat the resilient Cowboys 26-21. The exception was Peyton Manning and the lethargic Broncos who looked like they were playing in slow-motion while losing 24-13 against Andrew Luck and a swarming Colt defense.
Next weekend the Packers meet the Seahawks in Seattle. It should be a great game but with Rogers playing with one good leg–advantage Seahawks and their 12th man. The Colts have been the real surprise of the playoffs but can they do it again in Foxborough? I think not. Bill Belichick and the Patriots usually figure out a way to win at home.
Seattle is playing the best football in the NFL— only a minor miracle will stop them from taking home a second consecutive Lombardi Trophy.
