NFC and AFC Championship Recap

This past weekend, four teams met and two have have moved on to the Super Bowl. In the NFC Championship the Packers traveled to Chicago to take on the Bears. Green Bay got off to an early 14-0 and never looked back. Before the first half was over, Jay Cutler went down with an injury. A lot of people at first criticized him for not trying to come back in during the second half. His MRI showed a torn MCL on Monday and those who talked their trash about him including myself are backtracking. Todd Collins wasn’t getting the job done so they put in third string Quarterback Caleb Hanie. He got them within a touchdown but the final score ended up being 21-14 and the Packers are in their 1st Super Bowl since 1997.

In the AFC Championship game, the Jets traveled to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers. The first half was all Pittsburgh. The Jets couldn’t stop the run to save their lives. It was 24-3 going into halftime and all seemed lost for the Jets. However a couple of big plays and a safety allowed the Jets to get back within 5 points. The problem is that the Jets took too much time deciding what plays they were going to go for. So now for the third time in their recent history, the are going to Dallas to compete in the Super Bowl.

So it’s the Green Bay Packers vs. Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl 45. These are two of the more historical teams in the NFL’s history. It’s going to be a great game and I will have my prediction next week for you.
