NFL THUMBS UP FOR THE CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES

Weekly Awards

Best Team Offensive Performance: New Orleans Saints vs. Minnesota Vikings... The Saints can thank the Vikings' five turnovers for putting up 31 points on Sunday. It wasn't so much that the offense's efforts were great, as New Orleans only amassed 257 yards worth of offense, but when push came to shove, the unit capitalized where it could and put down the men in purple.

Top Play: K Garrett Hartley's 40-yard field goal that sent the New Orleans Saints to the Super Bowl... The entire game, the broadcasters on Fox made mention of what a kicking discrepancy there was between Hartley and Minnesota's K Ryan Longwell. Well, who came up big when it counted the most? The Oklahoma product had no troubles booting the game-winning attempt through the uprights with all of the pressure in the world on him in overtime.

Top Offensive Performer: QB Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts vs. New York Jets... Ho hum. Manning went 26/39 for 377 yards and three TDs without throwing a pick against the Jets on Sunday afternoon. Though those numbers are rather par for the course, his method of getting them wasn't exactly prototypical. Instead of using WR Reggie Wayne and TE Dallas Clark, it was WR Austin Collie and WR Pierre Garcon that did the damage, totaling 18 catches for 274 yards and a TD.

Biggest Point Spread Cover: Indianapolis Colts vs. New York Jets... The Colts were in danger of not covering the NFL betting line for the entire game against the Jets, but a dominant second half took care of any issues. Indy scored the final 24 points of the game to knock New York out of the postseason with a 30-17 victory that beat the football gambling spread by five points.
