3 -- Teams with the top offenses in the league (1. St. Louis; 2. Denver; 3. Indianapolis) were eliminated in the first round.
4 -- Touchdown passes by Saints quarterback Aaron Brooks on Saturday against the Rams, breaking the previous team record for TD passes in a playoff game -- one.

9 -- Total points scored by the Bucs in losing their past two postseason games -- 21-3 to the Eagles on Sunday and 11-6 to the Rams in last season's NFC title game.
12 -- Number of times a player has caught a record three touchdowns in a playoff game, with the latest being New Orleans' Willie Jackson on Saturday against the Rams. Jerry Rice has done it three times.
21 -- Postseason starts by Colts linebacker Cornelius Bennett during his 14-year career, including Saturday against the Dolphins.
26:47 -- Miami's time of possession in the second half and overtime Saturday, compared to 14:39 for the Colts.

40 -- Carries by Dolphins running back Lamar Smith against the Colts on Saturday, breaking the record of 38 held by John Riggins (Super Bowl XVII vs. Miami) and Ricky Bell (1979 Divisonal Playoffs vs. Philadelphia). Smith's 209 yards was the second-highest total in postseason history (Eric Dickerson, 248 vs. Dallas, 1985 Divisional Playoffs).
94.2 -- Colts kicker Mike Vanderjagt's career percentage (81-of-86) on field-goal attempts of less than 50 yards before missing a 49-yarder against the Dolphins in overtime Saturday.
159 -- Average yards rushing allowed by the Colts in their seven losses this season, including 258 to the Dolphins on Saturday. The Colts' defense allowed an average of 109.4 yards in their 10 victories.
193 -- Amount of the Eagles' 277 total yards that were accounted for by Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb against the Bucs on Sunday -- 161 passing, 32 rushing. McNabb supplied all three touchdowns (two passing, one rushing) in the game as well.
198 -- Yards passing by Rams quarterback Kurt Warner (11-of-14) in the fourth quarter of Saturday's loss to the Saints. Warner accounted for three touchdowns (two passing, one rushing) in the quarter, but St. Louis' comeback bid fell short 31-28.
