Vikings FG. Minnesota 16, Green Bay 0. The Vikings should have scored more points than they have, but when the Packers have scored zero I guess it doesn’t matter. 4:01 left in the game.

Two minute warning.

Packers have it 2nd and 8 on the Vikings 9. Please score so we don’t get shut out.

Packers FG as time expires. Final score: Minnesota 16, Green Bay 3. I went to a Packers board and they were embarrassed by the Packers’ performance. Next game I plan to watch is Steelers-Ravens. Unlike the Packers-Vikings game, this game means everything: winner goes to the playoffs, loser goes home. I’m rooting for Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers, and this one I can watch on TV so I won’t be posting. It’s the Sunday Night Football game at 5:20PM PST (7:20PM CST) so I have a while to wait.

Buccaneers 16, Panthers 14
Seahawks 13, 49ers 3

The Bears lost to the Lions but they still get the #2 seed in the NFC so they will face the #7 seed Packers in the wild card round next week. The Packers facing their greatest rival in the longest rivalry in NFL history sounds like a good game, but the Packers starters have to put up a good performance in order for it to be a good game.

Halftime. Baltimore 10, Pittsburgh 3. I actually stopped watching because it looked like this would be a Baltimore blowout. (The Steelers sister board to VEB thought the game was over after the Ravens scored first). The Steelers ran a nice two minute drill at the end of the second quarter but couldn’t punch it in from the Ravens 1. Pittsburgh gets to return the kick off at the beginning of the second half, hopefully they can keep holding Baltimore from scoring and put up some scoring of their own.

Steelers drive down the field for a TD. Pittsburgh 10, Baltimore 10.

After a Lamar Jackson INT gives them the ball on the Ravens 26, Steelers FG. Pittsburgh 13, Baltimore 10. I feel a lot better about this game right now.

I said I wasn’t going to post but things are now getting down to the wire. End of the third quarter.
