Missed. Wow!
Ravens kicker missed...
Steelers win...
Aaron Rodgers will play at least one more game before his retirement...
YES!!!!
Go Steelers!!
He missed the last field goal by like 20 feet.
I hope they still cute Tomlin. Terrible play calling and clock management
Yes! Ravens are goons.
They showed footage of a Catholic priest, pregame, sprinkling Holy Water on the end zone where Baltimore’s FG was wide right.

Cam Heyward was amazing. I can’t believe he still plays as much of a game as he does.
There is a tiny tiny chance that Green Bay and Pittsburg may meet and play each other in the Super Duper Bowl?
Arron Rogers plays against the team that made him famous for the Lombardi Trophy.
It’s a strange strange world we live in master Tom.
Hard to believe that in over the last 50 years, the Steelers have only had 3 head coaches.
Such a pleasure to watch Aaron Rodgers keep a cool head and play the game. An amazing win in the last 2 minutes.
Even when the defense was awful in the 4th quarter
I cracked up at that one. Gotta tell my wife about it. (She’s Catholic.)
Both teams made VERY bad defensive mistakes. Maybe because they were beating each other to a pulp?
The Ravens lost (I believe) their best safety to a concussion, which may explain a couple of their lapses on pass defense. A couple of the Steelers’ lapses seemed inexplicable.
Nerves got to the rookie kicker?
But, the Steelers’ PAT miss was even crazier!
By contrast the Lions have been OVER .500 only 16 times out of 50 seasons.
Steelers overall playoff record 36-29 (6-2 super bowl)
Lions overall playoff record 9-15 ( )
OOOOO
I don’t see a team the Panthers can beat. MAYBE the Packers? Otherwise playing them should be like a 1st round bye. The Panthers are certainly very much improved, but still a long way to go...
Typically the divisional winners (2,3,4) beat the wild card teams (5,6,7), but I agree -- the 8-9 Panthers will probably be toast. It's rare though for a Wild Card team to win the Super Bowl.
BTW, I would *love* to see them beat the Packers. So would four, and maybe ten, other teams.
Let's check...
Wild Card WeekendI doubt that I'll watch any of the playoffs, and will definitely skip the Superblow, er Bowl, thanks to Jay-Z and his racist fetish. The NFL needs to clean house and its act.
- Rams at Panthers (Lions are out, so I root for Matthew)
- Packers at Bears (I would *love* to see them beat the Packers)
- Bills at Jaguars (would be hilarious to see Young Thor beat Jinxed Allen)
- Niners at Eagles (go Eagles, sick of hearing about the Swishco team's greatness)
- Chargers at Patriots (don't care, but I'm tired of Rich Eisen's UofM-based infatuation with Harbaugh)
- Texans at Steelers (fifth of the six close games, the only likely blowout will be Rams-Panthers)
OTOH, if someone's serving beef tenderloin, or porterhouse, at a Superbowl party and invites me over, I *will* go.
Who am I kidding, big juicy burgers would do it.
