Hope everyone had a great wild-card weekend. Great college and pro games. Dan will break down all the action on Monday.
Here are some of the storylines we'll get into:
-- The Ravens' defense was dominant in a convincing 27-9 win over the Dolphins. Of all the teams that won on wild-card weekend, Baltimore may have to be considered the most legitimate threat to reach the Super Bowl.
-- The Chargers knocked off the Colts 23-17 in overtime in a thriller on Saturday night. San Diego's Darren Sproles ran for 105 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner in OT. Peyton Manning won the MVP but goes home early this year.
-- The Cardinals beat the Falcons 30-24 on Saturday. Big touchdowns by Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald were the key to Arizona's win. Matt Ryan's dream rookie season comes to an end.
-- Plenty of surprises in the NFL coaching carousel. Will the Browns hire Eric Mangini? Will Mike Shanahan land in Dallas? How about Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo?
-- SI.com's Jon Heyman reports the activity around free-agent pitcher Derek Lowe is increasing and he could sign soon.
-- Utah beat Alabama 31-17 to further incite BCS critics. The Utes finished 13-0, but of course will not get a chance to play for the national title. |
