The NFC Cham- pionshp game was a classic game which went into overtime with turnovers making the difference.
The Vikings outgained the Saints by over two hundred yards, 475 to 257 but turned the ball over and cost themselves a trip to the Super Bowl.
Brett Favre got careless with the football and his teammates put it on the ground as well. They looked like the better team but turnovers are the most important statistics in playoff games other than the score itself.
Although Rex Ryan did a great job of creating a pass rush with his bltiz package, Peyton Manning figured it out and made Ryan and the Jets pay.
It was really a mismatch because the Colts had some size advantages with young wide receiver Pierre Garcon.
The fact that the Jets were in that game is an indictment of the AFC and how they have fallen. They made it to the AFC Championship game with a great running game and rookie quarterback ,Mark Sanchez.
We all knew that there was little of chance of them being able to score more than 20 points.
