                    Wildcard Round sees RG3 Roll out of Dream Season to NFL

The NFL Playoffs again has not failed to impress, we saw some of the titans battle it out for a place in the next round.

We saw an edgy start to the playoffs with the Bengals crash out to the recently 
under performing Texans, where we saw my main man Aidran Foster fail to make an impact, but it came down to a game of kicks, and Texans won the game 19-13 after getting some points on the boards in every quarter

On the late night Saturday game, we saw the Vikings try to run through the Packers, with Peterson and starting QB Webb getting over 65 yards each, but Webb's inconsistency and the Vike's lack of ability to field JUST 11 players was preyed on by the Rodgers led Packers, with him trowing 274 yards and 1 TD, this helped the Packers to a 24-10 win. 
The Sunday fixtures took the intensity and entertainment from a neutrals view up to 11! The first game showing us the current inform side, the Ravens, are really a team nt to be messed with. Playing the also well-performing Colts, it was going to be a real nail biter, it was a clean board for the first Quater, then Flacco finally got into rhythm for the Ravens hitting 282 Passing Yards with 2 TDs, Colts could only throw, Luck getting himself 288 yards, no TDs but 1 interception, whereas the Ravens also had a solid running game, seeing Pierce notch up 103 rushing yards. And despite Rice's 2 fumbles, the Ravens clocked up a 24-9 win, which takes then through to the next round!

And finally the game of the week, the Seahawks at the Redskins, where the pressure realy was on RGIII to deliver the goods for the rowdy home skins fans. And he looked solid, putting the skins up by 14-0 after the first quater. The Seahawks have put some big figures on the board in the last 4 weeks or so, occasionally picking up over 50 points in a game. This was looking the case again, the picked up 13 points to no reply in the second, making it a 13-14 stunner to the Skins at the half. The 3rd quater was stailmate, sticking to 0-0 for the quater, upholidng that 1 point lead for the skins. A crucial interception form RG3 at the 2 yard from goal, gave Russel Wilson and the Seahawks the chance to pounce, and he provided the injection of energy and quality the hawks needed to pick up 11 points in the final quater with no reply. RG3 only managed 84 passing yards, he did get 2 TDs however, but that 1 crucial interception, he also didnt play the whole game, Cousins got a chacne, but didnt make a difference to what was inevitable, what was the Hawks beating the Skins 24-14. Rushing yardige was big for the Hawks, Lynch picked up 132 yards with 1 TD, with the man, RUSSELL WILSON picking up 184 passing yards with 1 TD.

Big games, big results, sets up a legendary Divisional play-offs, where we see the Broncos, the 49ers, the Falcons and the big gons, the New England Patriots. Im sure you will join me in saying, it will be an awesome week of football!!

Stay Safe, Play Hard, Go Win.
