NFL Playoff Scores, Week 2

Saturday
Washington 10, Seattle 20
oddsnark game ball: Matt Hasselbeck. 16-26, 215 yds, 1 TD; 6 carries , 21 yds, 1 TD

Key his Escalade: Washington’s offense. What offense, you ask? I do not know.

New England 13, Denver 27
oddsnark game ball: Champ Baily for his coffin nail interception and 99 yd run back. Really, though, switch the ball to your sideline hand and finish better than Leon Lett next time.

Key his Escalade: Tom Brady. Sure he threw for almost 350 yds, but 2 INTs cost his team dearly. Plus we all had to listen to that nonsense about the Patriots not getting respect.

Sunday
Pittsburgh 21, Indianapolis 18
oddsnark game ball: Ben Roethlisberger. 14-24, 197 yds, 2 TDs, 1 INT, and a game-saving tackle. Great post-game quote: “Once in a blue moon, Jerome fumbles. Once in a blue moon, I make a tackle. They just happened to be in the same game.”

Key his Escalade: Three-way tie:
Mike Vanderjagt. Wide right.
Referee Pete Morelli. Explain again how Troy Polamalu’s interception wasn’t an interception?
Peyton Manning: Explaining the loss by saying that you “want to be a good teammate but there were protection problems” is not being a good teammate, it’s calling out your line. Not cool, not cool.

Carolina 29, Chicago 21
oddsnark game ball: Steve Smith. 12 catches, 218 yds, 2 TDs

Key his Escalade: Officiating crew. For not noticing that the clock had hit zero before the play that saw Grossman throw a 4th quarter INT.
