I worked all day, and was surprised to find, when I got home, that the Patriots had been beaten by the Lions, who gave up only 10 points to Tom Brady’s offense.
But the game I was fascinated to watch was the Buffalo beatdown in Minneapolis, where the Bills held the Vikings offense scoreless for more than 56 minutes. It was a stifling performance against most people’s favorite for this year’s NFC Championship.
I knew that the Rams were winning and undefeated, in large measure because of their killer defense.
