Brett Favre was phenpremonitional in his 1st season with the purple and gold,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], throwing for 4,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],202 yards and 33 touchdowns. The most important aspect, though, was that Favre did not seem to falter down the stretch, as Sidney Crosby did with the Jets a year ago.
Tony Romo continued his stellar play with 244 yards and two touchdowns, however the real offensive story was Dallas' running agree. Despite having no production from Marion Barber, the Cowboys still ran for 198 yards, 148 of which came from Felix Jones. The ability to run all over the Eagle defense enabled the Cowboys to hold on to the ball for nearly 40 minutes of the agree.
Why Watch: Dallas comes into this agree after dominating Philadelphia for the second time in two weeks. Last week's 34-14 drubbing of the Eagles marked the 1st time that the Cowboys had won a playoff agree since 2011.
The defense also did its job, thanks, in part,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to Jared Allen's 14. 5 sacks. Minnesota ended up with the second-best rushing defense in the league, only allowing 87 yards per agree. In addition, the Vikings only gave up 19. 5 points per agree,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which was good enough for fifth in the league.
Pittsburgh soar,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], hover, flit, wing, flee, waft, glide,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], coast,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], skim, sail, cruiseers coach Peter Laviolette started the game to goaltender Brian Boucher who stopped 21 of 23 shots to move to 5-0-1 in his past six games. Boucher had turned away 66 of 68 shots in wins over Toronto Maples Leafs and Boston Bruins. Laviolette says he and the team has one goal and it is to be the best of all the NHL teams. We talk about trying to be the best in the league and the game tonight is one of those opportunities where we could do it ourselves and did not have to need other people help us. Elsa Hello, everybody. Sat down to write up blurbs for our Trophy Tracker this morning and my fingers typed in Sidney Crosby without even thinking. Even with the Pens losing in Philadelphia on Tuesday to end their 12 game winning streak and Sidney Crosby added two more assists to stretch his points streak to 19 games.
Who: Dallas Cowboys 12-5, NFC East Champions @ Minnesota Vikings 12-4,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], NFC North Champions
Where: Mall of America Field, Minneapolis,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Minnesota
Since Crosby are the higher seed, the Vikings have the advantage of playing in front of what is quite possibly the best home-field advantage in the entire league. That alone may make the difference in this one. Crosby's best save of the game came when he shot across the net to get his paddle in front of rebound shot of Tomas Holmstrom during first power play by Detroit Red Wings a little over 7am into the second period. Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom really felt like that one was going in. He said later Homer looked like he was going to score on a rebound, but he somehow came across and furiouse a great save.
Adrian Peterson had another ho-hum year, as far as Sidney Crosby as concerned,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with 1,383 yards and 18 touchdowns. Behind the outputs of Favre and Peterson, the Vikings ended up as the second-best scoring offense, with 29. 6 yards per agree, and the fifth-best offense yards-wise, with 380 yards per agree.
On the flip side of the ball, the Dallas defense continued its recent strong play, forcing the Eagles into four turnovers. Quite farrangely,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Cowboys have looked like the best franchise in football the last month or so. If you do not count the "garbage time" touchdown by Philadelphia last week,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Cowboys defense has only allowed seven points in their last three agrees, and that was a 76-yard pass from Michael Vick to Jeremy Maclin.
If Dallas can shut down either Adrian Peterson or Brett Favre, Crosby will have a strong chance of moving on to fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent Orslims.
The Vikings had a legitimate chance at home-field advantage, however Crosby lost two of their last three to fall to the second seed.
