Two former Rebels advance to NFC, AFC championships

The NFL Divisional round of the playoffs featured two stunning upsets as the number one seed Tennessee Titans and Green Bay Packers both lost at home.

While it meant former Rebels AJ Brown (Titans) and Royce Newman (Packers) were sent home, Mike Hilton (Bengals) and DJ Jones (49ers) moved on with its teams to the AFC and NFC Championship games next weekend.

Ole Miss fans undoubtedly remember the undersized Hilton from his days on the Landshark defense who played with reckless abandon, and to me, he always seemed to be a player in the right place at the right time.
