Yes, but who wins the award for the lightest skin?
Everything went pretty much as planned this weekend. All four favoured home teams won their games. No road victories, no upsets. Don't expect next week's games to go as smoothly and as according to plan.
1. Tony Romo Butterfingers: So, the man who was one of the big reasons the Cowboys were even in the playoffs to begin with becomes one of the main reasons the Cowboys are now out of them. Ironic, isn't it? Almost as ironic as Mr Selfish and fellow butterfinger, T.O. being one of the first guys to console Romo after it all went sour.
2. David Akers Boots Winning Field Goal With No Time Left: As shocking as the Cowboys (or, more precisely, Tony Romo) muffing what should have been a simple game-tying field goal, the fact that the Iggles overcame an Eli Manning-led drive (shocking in and of itself, completing 6 of 7 for 66 yards including the game-tying touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress) to win the game on a last-second field goal. The Eagles finished the season with a five-game winning streak, their longest season-ending streak since 1949 when they defeated the Los Angeles Rams 14-0 for the NFL Championship and their consolation prize is a trip to
3. Colts have a run defence?: It was interesting to watch so many try and predict the obvious - Larry Johnson running rampant over a weak Colt run defence - whilst simultaneously forgetting that all season long, just when you thought a trend had been spotted as quickly as it appeared to appear it disappeared. That's why it was easy knowing Larry Johnson was going to have a very quiet weekend. 32 yards on 13 carries. That and the fact he is coached by Herm Edwards.
