One week of playoff competition is in the books as the Cardinals, Chargers, Eagles and Ravens each won their wild card games. Two more weeks remain in the playoff race to earn a spot in Super Bowl XLIII, with the division round of the playoffs up next.
It’s rematch weekend, as the teams in each contest played their opponent at some point during the regular season. In the AFC, the Ravens and Titans took it into the final minutes in Baltimore, and Tennessee escaped with a 13-10 win in Week 5. The Chargers and Steelers battled in a game that produced a first-ever score of 11-10 in Week 11, Pittsburgh on top.
In the NFC, the Cardinals and Panthers met in Week 8 in Charlotte in another closely fought game, but the home team came away victorious, 27-23. The Eagles and Giants have one of the most long-standing and bitter rivalries in the NFL, and they split their division series in 2008, with the Giants winning 36-31 in Philadelphia in Week Week 10 and the Eagles winning 20-14 in New Jersey in Week 14.
This weekend, the teams all meet again — but this time around, there’s a lot more on the line.
Saturday, 2:30 p.m. MST
TENNESSEE TITANS vs. BALITMORE RAVENS
Why You Should Watch: If you like smash-mouth, hard-hitting, pound-the-run football, this game is for you. On top of that, these two teams just plain don’t like each other, and it shows. In Week 5, the Ravens were flagged 11 times for 91 yards while the Titans got penalized 10 times for 78. There’s trash talking. There are late hits. If the total amount of points scored is less than 20, no one will be surprised.
The Ravens enter the game with the league’s second-ranked defense in terms of yardage, allowing just 261.1 yards per game during the regular season. Not far behind are the Titans at No. 7 with 293.6 yards allowed on average. In terms of scoring, Tennessee edges Baltimore, giving up just 14.6 points per game to the Ravens’ 15.2. Baltimore is first in the league with 26 interceptions — 11 by standout safety Ed Reed alone. The Titans have snared 20 picks on the season. Tennessee ranks fifth in the league with 44 sacks while the Ravens are tied for 11th with 34. Add it all up, and it makes for a nasty defensive struggle.
Keep An Eye On: Cortland Finnegan, CB, Tennessee Titans. This 2006 seventh-round pick out of Samford has quickly become one of the league’s top corner, and he has been honored for his play, earning his first trip to the Pro Bowl as well as a spot on the AP’s All-Pro team. He has five interceptions on the season, one of which he returned 99 yards for a score. He may be listed at 5-foot-10, 188 pounds, and those number may be correct when he’s wearing helmet, pads and cleats. But it doesn’t matter, since he plays like he’s 6-foot-4. He’s fiesty and takes pride getting into receivers’ heads, and when these two teams met, he and Ravens wideout Derrick Mason got into a scuffle or two, earning both players penalties and fines. Keep an eye on No. 31 for the Titans — he’s always around the ball.
Ed Reed, S, Baltimore Ravens. Normally we’d pick just one person to keep an eye on, but both defenses are just too good to ignore, and no one has played better defense in the last two months than the Ravens’ five-time Pro Bowler Reed. He has 10 interceptions in the last seven weeks, including two he picked off a week ago against Dolphins, one of which he took to the house. He was the only unanimous selection for this year’s AP All-Pro team. Quarterbacks have to know where he is at all time, because his head is always on a swivel. If he picks off a pass, he can move like a wide receiver, and if anyone catches a pass in front of him, he can lay a vicious hit.
Saturday, 6:15 p.m. MST
CAROLINA PANTHERS vs. ARIZONA CARDINALS
Why You Should Watch: If you didn’t like watching the slug-fest from earlier in the day, this could be more to your liking. Here you have two veteran quarterbacks in the Cardinals’ Kurt Warner and the Panthers Jake Delhomme. Both QBs can sling it pretty well, and both teams have dynamic Pro Bowl wide receivers — Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin for Arizona, Steve Smith for Carolina. Toss in the two-headed running back monster of Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams and their 28 combined touchdowns, and the Panthers have the entire offensive package. But don’t count out Edgerrin James of the Cardinals, who looked like a rejuvenated man in last week’s win over the Falcons.
Arizona has the fourth-ranked offense in the league, racking up 365.8 yards per game in the regular season. Carolina ranks 10th with 349.7. The difference is the Panthers run for 152.3 yards on the ground, good for third in the NFL, while the Cardinals pass for 292.1, second to only New Orleans. And with the defenses ranking in the middle of the pack, 18th for Carolina and 19th for Arizona, there should be a lot of scoring.
Keep An Eye On: The entire Arizona defense. As previously mentioned, they’ve been a pretty average group for most of the season, but a week ago, they played like one of the top units in the league. They held Michael Turner to just 42 yards on 18 carries for a meager 2.3-yard average — he averaged 4.5 on the season. They sacked rookie of the year Matt Ryan three times and forced him to throw two interceptions and cough up a fumble which they returned for a score. It will take a similar performance to shut down Delhomme, Stewart and Williams.
Sunday, 11:00 a.m. MST
NEW YORK GIANTS vs. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
Why You Should Watch: Division rivalry games always make for quality television, especially in the NFC East. Now take the hype from a regular season matchup and amp it up to the playoff level, and this could turn into a game for the ages. The Giants were one of the hottest teams for most of the season, but they faded down the stretch. The Eagles, on the other hand, started off slow and had a 5-4-1 record and appeared dead in the water before picking things up and finishing 9-6-1. Now they’ve got to see if they can take down the defending Super Bowl champs twice at Giants Stadium in one year.
The two teams match up extremely well, with the Eagles and Giants having the third and fifth ranked defenses, respectively. Philly is third in the NFL with 48 sacks, and the Giants rank sixth with 42, despite losing standouts Michael Strahan to retirement and Osi Umenyiora to a season-ending injury during the preseason. On the offensive side of the ball, the Giants and Eagles rank fifth and seventh in total yards. Donovan McNabb leads the way for the Eagles through the air with 244.4 yards per game while the three-headed running attack of the Giants leads the league with 157.4.
Keep An Eye On: Brandon Jacobs, RB, New York Giants. His 219 carries for 1089 yards and 15 touchdowns lead this vaunted run game, and he is the workhorse of the group. Backup and fellow 1000-yard rusher Derrick Ward is no slouch, but if Jacobs is 100 percent, this ground attack is extremely hard to stop. In two games against the Eagles this year, he has rushed 32 times for 178 yards, and if he gets going early, it will be tough on Philadelphia.
Brian Westbrook, RB, Philadelphia Eagles. He’s normally one of the elite backs in the league, though his stats are down this year due to injuries throughout the season. But that didn’t stop him from gaining over 1,300 all-purpose yards in 2008. Last week, the Vikings did a good job of bottling him up for most of the night until he broke loose on a screen pass, taking it 71 yards for a score. And that’s what Westbrook can do — take it the distance at any time.
Sunday, 2:45 p.m. MST
PITTSBURGH STEELERS vs. SAN DIEGO CHARGERS
Why You Should Watch: You’ve got the league’s stingiest defense in the Steelers taking on one of the hottest teams in the NFL in the Chargers. What’s not to like? It’s going to be cold and dark in the Steel City, with a forecasted high temperature in the 20s, and these two teams will probably take it down to the wire just like they did in Week 11. The Steelers have been one of the top teams in the AFC all year, and their 12-4 record gave them the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye in the playoffs. The Chargers won four straight to finish the season and get into the playoffs at 8-8, and last week they knocked off the Colts to earn a trip to Heinz Field.
In that first contest, it was ugly weather and ugly football, much like it could turn out to be Sunday afternoon. And as in that first game, the team that plays most consistently could come out on top. Ben Roethlisberger managed the game effectively, completing 31-of-41 passes for 308 yards without a touchdown or interception while Philip Rivers went 15-of-26 for just 164 and two picks. But the Chargers defense kept it close by sacking Big Ben five times, and since then, Rivers has played at an extremely high level.
Keep An Eye On: Willie Parker, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers. After three straight 1,000-yard seasons, Parker played in only 11 games, missing a five-game stretch due to injury. Now he’s back in action and closed out the season with a 116-yard performance against the Browns in Week 17. He should be rested after their playoff bye, and if he can get out of the gates early against the Chargers, that will go a long way in keeping the San Diego defense on their heels. If they have to worry about Parker’s running, they won’t be able to blitz against Pittsburgh’s offensive line that has allowed 49 sacks, fourth-most in the league.

GO STEELERS! I live here in SD and its pathetic. These chumps are already claiming super bowl and are even going as far as to plan Super Bowl parties….
Idiot I tell you. Idiots.
GO STEELERS!
21-7
……and on a side note.
We need Spagnuolo.
GO BRONCOS!
Wouldnt be suprised to see Eagles win. Gonna be some good games cant wait. and i just cant fathom being anywhere near a buncha Charger fans. Trooper on millsdesign. Trooper on. One day at a time. We’re here for you.
Philip Rivers is 100% punkass!
GO STEELERS:42-3
As long as the Chargers suffer..(lol)
I heard Romonawski is also trying out for the HC position…
What do you guys think about that?
I’d like him as a defensive coach or linebackers coach….I read it from nfl.com he promises a revamped defense,,trainers, extreme conditioning, even someone who’ll make nutritious shakes for all the players everyday.lol
I just hope Pat makes the right decision. Not just to patch things up but ultimately move us forward, but not take too long to make a decision that it stalls progress.
millsdesign – I live in SD as well, so I feel your pain. A friend of mine that is originally from NY lives in So Cal, too. He is totally indifferent towards the Broncos and Chargers. He has only lived here for 3 years and can’t believe how pathetic the fans are here. Charger fans are only interested in their team when they win. The game this weekend will be bitter sweet. I don’t like the Steelers at all, but I will never root for the Chargers.
GO BRONCOS!!!!!
I’ll be a Steelers fan (part-time of course) come Sunday afternoon. I like them a whole lot better than the crybabies. I don’t see the Chargers getting past the Steelers at all… especially not with Big Ben playing. And the Steelers defense is way too strong for Crybaby Rivers. This whole thing is even better since the game will be played up in Pittsburgh!
With faith…
GO BRONCOS in ’09!!!!
i agree broncos 20 give him a linebackers coach position or at the very most d coord but who knows. and sorry i HATE the chargers but the steelers offense is HORRIBLE i know they cant score 42. both teams are a discrace to the afc it should be titans panthers superbowl they have been best two teams all year. giants arent going all the way eli isnt as good as peyton no matter what anyone says. steelers no offense, chargers dirtiest cheats and cry babies in the league. cardinals are result of weak division and former mvp kurt warner getting in a rythm they wont go anywhere. eagles are a strong team but very injury prone and can be ran on so they aint going farther the nfc championship, ravens have a tough d and the best safety in the league who we need to make a strong effort to get in free agency think about him and champ on the field at the same time maybe even get namdi from the gay raiders best secondary in league with bly playing nickle draft taylor mays thats a line up we need a big draft and free agency. then we will have ORANGE CRUSH BACK BABY.
ROMANOWSKI HIRED AS MANAGER! ! !
of the shake machine.
GET VILMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GET NAMDI from the raiders he is there best player and no one could throw on us champ and him starting dre plays nickle and draft a corner in 3rd or 4th round. draft taylor mays start him and barrett if you want although we can do better then barrett but with development who knows barrett could be great, he needs work. we need at least two new BIG defensive lineman and there is a lot of good players in free agency we can get to the superbowl with our offense and that defense gauranteed
Hey Broncos……You still having fun watching the games from home?
Hope this year really wakes some of you up……pull your head out and learn to play football next year.
Here is to the Steelers kicking Rivers in the face.
This was posted on NFL.com by Adam Schefter
“At this time last week, in this space, it was suggested that New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels was the leading candidate for the Broncos’ head-coaching job. The point is still valid, only now it’s stronger.
Broncos chief operating officer Joe Ellis spent five and a half hours in Massachusetts on Thursday night, conducting a second interview with McDaniels in which he was said to be just as impressive as he was in his first meeting with a full contingent of Denver officials.
Now there’s a growing concern in Foxborough, Mass., that the Patriots are on the verge of losing their offensive coordinator, the man who’s in charge of the offense and helped elevate the play of quarterbacks Tom Brady and Matt Cassel.
Though the Broncos refuse to say anything, they clearly have McDaniels in their list of a select few finalists. The others are thought to be Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier and Buccaneers defensive coordinator Raheem Morris.
But Denver has been so busy this week that it’s possible, even likely, that it will make its move as early as Monday and introduce the next coach early this week.
The Broncos also have made it clear that, even though their defense is in disrepair, they want to hire the best head coach, even if he doesn’t come from the defensive side of the football.”
that sounds good to me, get a good defensive coordinator, have a good draft and free agency now
got my first game wrong it was close but still wrong
Since the broncos arent in, im pulling for arizona in the playoffs.
but for tonight
GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree i’m likin the cardinals. hopefully they face the eagles at home so GO EAGLES!!! wow what a difference a run game makes huh? so i gues they’ve been saving edgerrin james this whole time and he looks good for the playoffs. whereever that D of the cardinals came from i hope the broncos can do the same kind of turn around. heres to a baltimore-arizona superbowl! talk about a zillion to one beginning of season vegas odds. the steelers better smash the chargers cuz i cant handle another charger win. just cant. i would rather have my molars pulled out with a chain than see philip rivers celebrate.
Now the Broncos will get another chance to talk with Spagnoulo. I still have a gut feeling they will go with Mcdaniels though. Give me your thoughts.
yeah its definately gonna be josh mcdaniel, were gonna need a good d coordinator talk raheem morris into coming on with mcdaniels instead of the guy he wants to bring with him
has any one heard of a coach coming out of billif@ck’s system and not be a complete failure. we need a coach that will make this team accountable. we won big games that we were not supposed to win because there wasnt pressure on them to win. but the caved in divisional games and big games. i have heard interviews from former pats players that have said that they cant see mcdaniels as a head coach. i would really like any of the defensive guys that are out there (mainly spags, or frazier) . and i hope we can hang onto most of our offensive guys.
spags obviously is not what we want if you havent noticed we dont give a damn about spagnoulo , he is a bad interview and couldnt coach offense. frazier is a nobody it isnt hard to have a good rush defense with the williams at tackles. where as with mcdaniels we will continue to have a top offense, as long as we get good players in the draft and free agency on the defensive side of the ball then mcdaniels is a very intersting pick and we could be dominant
THE CHARGERS LOST!!!!!
RIVERS is the BIGGEST CRYBABY I’ve ever seen!!!!!
Now that’s funny!!!
)
With faith…
GO BRONCOS in ’09!!!!
lol i loved that he got sacked four times and slammed to the ground like a little girl, WHERE ARE ALL YOU CHARGERS FAN ON OUR BLOG NOW? lets here what you got to say, its all about next year and we will see whats up then Jay is the man, ten times better the phillip rivers, Chargers SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With faith…
GO BRONCOS in ’09
Ahmen brother… Preach on!….
Ok I just have a question! Did anyone see rivers standing @ the podium after the game wearing a sorry plaid shirt, rustler jeans, and a wyoming looking belt buckle?! Now I see why they only show the interviews chest up. He lives in Cali and dresses like he’s from Wyoming or South Dakota.
Because he has no class… He has no style… One time before a game they showed him walking into the stadium and he looked like we went to the GAP (the commentators said that… and were laughing)… but our boy Jay…. he has class and style… he always looks presentable… and weren’t some charger fans bagging on Cutler once for what he wears???. IDK… i’m just happy their out. Now I want it to be Baltimore vs. Arizona in the Super Bowl
First off CARAMELLOO not all people from South Dakota dress like that only ranchers and farmers. The rest of us dress like everyone else.
Second. I just read on ESPN.com that the Broncos has reached an agreement with Josh McDaniels for head coach, they are to announce it tomorrow. Now we know…what will the season bring?

Sorry did not mean to post twice, I had to fix a spelling error…
My bad S.D.Bronco30 really wasn’t trying to stereotype, but I did mean he looked like a rancher or farmer!
Time for everyone to welcome in another offensive minded coach and hope he finds someone to turn around our defense……
So welcome Josh McDaniels!
JOSH McDANIELS + BRONCOS = SUPERBOWL XLIV CHAMPS! GO BRONCOS!
I can’t belive that anybody would seriously consider Romo for any coaching position. Don’t you remember how his playing days ended? He attacked and so seriously injured a FOLLOW TEAMMATE that his playing career was over!! Do you really want someone incapable of controlling their emotions to be in charge of anything? I can just see it now. Champ screws up a play in practice. Romo attacks him and breaks him jaw. DDDUUUUHHHH!!!!!
Welcome, Josh McDaniels, to the Denver Broncos!
Welcome to Bronco Country Coach McDaniels.
This is good romeo crennel will be d coord and we will have a coach that gets the most out of our offensive weapons.
Need a good gm who knows his defensive talent and get VILMA
They just announced Dom Capers will be our new D Coord. Coming over from New England with McDaniels.
they didnt say d coord just said he was coming i know thats what he will probably be but hopefully he is just secondary coach
you guys ever see a blog go off the page like may exclamation marks up there lol
Dont jump on the Dom Capers being D coorinator yet. There are rumors that the old 49ers coach Mike Nolan could be our D coordinator.
So we hired McDaniels… I don’t even know what to say. He’s got some HUGE HUGE shoes to fill… should be interesting to see how this goes. All I can say is this guy better have our D in mind, we need to draft defensive players this year. I know he’s an offensive coordinator coming from NE but we need MAJOR help on defense. Hope he can handle the head coaching job… again HUGE shoes to fill here. I’ll give him a chance just like I would anyone else new on the team.
And SO glad the Chargers got knocked out of the playoffs AGAIN!! Funniest thing I’ve ever seen… Rivers getting sacked 4 hilarious times and the Steelers just ran all over them. THANK YOU STEELERS!!!
With faith…
GO BRONCOS in ’09!!!!
Worst Move Ever!!!!! Pure and simple.
Our offense is perfect so why hire a coach who will destroy it and build a new one???
WTF
I think We should have Waited and Re-intervied Spagnuolo and/or sheduled interviews with Baltmore’s D-Coordinator.
Plus if you think about it our Defensive personnel would fit Spagnuolos super agrresive style. Our D is built for Speed not Power. McDaniels will probaly convert our D to a 3-4 and we’ll get overpowered by big offensive lines.
I think Bowlen should sell the team to someone who knows what they’re doing. I have nothing against Josh McDaniels but He is not a better coach for the Denver broncos than Mke Shanahan PERIOD
I absolutely LOVE this hire. Although I originally wanted a defensive guy, I reconsidered after talking to some of my NE-area friends who have a bit more detail on how the Patriots practice, prepare, act professional, etc. They HATE the thought of losing him – much more so than they did with losing Charlie Weis.
If it’s true that Dom Capers is coming over, and we somehow keep Bates (who, unfortunately, I think is gone now), we’re rollin!!
Welcome, Coach McDaniels – we are glad to have you in Broncoland! Let’s go win us a NUMBER of Super Bowls!
So….this is my first post as a member (dont ask me why it took so long)
Josh McDaniels is a brilliant mind, and Mr. Bowlen accepts nothing less than American Football genius. Mike Nolan is a question mark only because of his reputation as a head coach, not as a D coordinator which in my oppionion is somthing he excells at. (c’mon now, he was the HC of the undertalented 49er’s of the past few years, much like Shanny was the HC of the undertalented Broncos ((exemt ’08 offense here)) of the past few years. They are both regarded as masterminds in their respected feilds; no??) If u can’t agree with me here, then u aren’t a passionate lifetime Broncos fan. We have all contemplated a great deal over our Football team for as long as we’ve been fans…so allow me to articulate in the best way I know possible…..
GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
’09
p.s. have faith guys! our team can and WILL adapt to and buy into the new philosophies. Be risillient and excersise patience. Most importantly, don’t be a bandwagon fan and jump ship if things look bad at first. mmhmmmmhmmm CHARGERS FANS mhjmmmhmhmmmm…oops, sorry guys, I’ve had a bad cough for the past couple days
Peace ^_^
