The divisional weekend was everything it promised and more.
Three underdogs advanced and the one favorite that advanced benefitted from a coin-flip in overtime—something we never could have predicted.
It was phenomenal football all around.
And kickers! Did I mention kickers?!! In every single game a kicker changed the outcome at regulation’s buzzer. You can’t make this stuff up. It’s too good.
Heading into the championship games, we have three quarterbacks that have never won a Super Bowl and two quarterbacks that had not won a postseason game before these playoffs. Three of the quarterbacks are age 26 or younger, and this is the first time since 2003 that Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning or Aaron Rodgers aren’t playing in a conference championship game.
