Green Bay at Chicago. The Packers came out smoking hot scoring on your disk first and then survived a late charge bears to advance to the Super Bowl. Aaron Rodgers was nearly flawless in the first half. Quickly lead the Packers down the field with passes of a pin, in the middle passage routes, and scored the first touchdown in a race boot leg. This unit reported that the Packers were the better team and the Bears would have to play your best game to win. It took a little noisy crowd home steam Bears. Rodgers was his best play game-saving tackle on Bears linebacker arm Brian Urlacher after he threw an interception in the third quarter. This was the second best tackle postseason since Ben Rotherlisberger against Colts defensive back a few years ago in a divisional playoff game. If Rodgers is facing Urlacher scores, and the momentum quickly shifted to the Bears. The star in this game was the Packers' defense, which has been the backbone of the Packers all year round, even in losses. They controlled the game bears running. They looted and beat the Bears quarterback Jay Cutler numerous times in the first half causing him both emotionally and physically (pending the results of MRI) check out. Their players continued to make key plays anonymous. Nose tackle BJ Raji interception was one of the biggest games. He did a good job of reading back and read the quarterbacks eyes, catching it and running at the end. Although almost became famous for the wrong reasons when he had the ball before time, as Leon Lett Super Bowl was a long time. Cornerback Sam Shields had two interceptions, no bigger than the last win the game. It was often attacked because it is a rookie, but was ready and done an excellent job of undercutting the route of passage. The Packers team deserves special credit for containing dangerous substances Bears return man Devin Hester. He felt the need bear ever score in the game, probably did the Packers. They took their foot off the accelerator offense and defense was surprised by Caleb Hanie third string quarterback. They had no tape in it and knew I could do to escape the rush with his feet, which he often did to avoid capture. It is very difficult to win three consecutive games for the rest of the season and the Packers deserve high praise for that achievement in the playoffs. A two-week break will help them in the Super Bowl.
The Bears offensive problems resurfaced at the worst time. True, the Packers one has the best defenses in the league, but after playing the Packers twice, they know what to expect and make adjustments. They never did. Their distress appeared offensive line again and were ineffective throughout the first half. They could not run the ball or to protect Jay Cutler. Their outputs range could not create a space to launch Cutler too. On top of all that Cutler was cold as the winter snow before their departure often throwing the ball short. That will take a lot of criticism for his play, his arrival out of the game without any obvious injury (which has been diagnosed as a sprained MCL) and to set aside their attitude to sit on the bench less for expression second half. The fans are never fails to live up to that by not playing through injury. His backup Todd Collins, who has been in the league for almost two decades, was worse than Culter and probably played the league with his performance putrid. He played scared baby wildebeest in the den of hungry lions. Cutler will take most of the heat, but Collins also deserves. Lovie Smith made a great play of Caleb Hanie insert obscure. He provided a spark and almost became an instant legend when he led the Chicago Bears for two touchdowns and in position to tie the game late. Hanie only committed two costly errors, but promised to their mobility and pocket presence. Bears offensive players just are not enough to scare defenses. The Bears' defense kept the purchase of the game by playing better than the Packers offense potent in the second half, but Brian Urlacher is likely to have nightmares all season for not being able to get rid of Aaron Rodgers after his interception.
Pittsburgh New York Jets edges. The Steelers ran to a 24-0 lead and hung on the Jets defeat. The Steelers, who were the fresher team emotionally and physically left the camp fire going, eating most of the first quarter clock and score the opening touchdown. It also froze the Jets offense did not seem to not warm up to the second half. Mendehall Rarshard offensive was the star of this game for over a hundred yards against the Jets defense has been stingy against the run and score a touchdown. Much credit goes to the Steelers' offensive line did a commendable job despite being beaten and lost Pro Bowl center Maurkice Pouncey in the first quarter. Ben Roethilisberger not spectacular, but it was more than efficient. He is the clutch, making plays. None were bigger than the passage of two conversions in the games waning moments. You go to your health too small to Miller and the other rookie Anthony Smith. Both times are not the primary receiver, but Roethilsberger slid around in the pocket until the receivers were shining. These works were large, as they kept the ball from the hands Jets in the final seconds. The main stars of this game was the Steelers' defense. Meters gave up, especially in the second half, but stopped the race, which they always do and after Mark Sanchez, beat her often. One of the greatest works was made by cornerback Ike Taylor. Were charged with beating Mark Sanchez corner blind side caused a fumble that was picked up by William Gay give the Steelers a lead of 24 that seem insurmountable. It takes every bit of that place. Their offense bombed almost the entire second half and their defense looked tired in the end, but his goal line before it to safety was huge. Probably felt the game was up 24-0. They underestimated the Jets and that almost cost them. That will not happen in the Super Bowl against the Packers.
The Jets looked flat for most of the first half. It seemed that all the emotional energy that went from the victory against the Colts and the Patriots finally reached them. No offensive line that has been its strength was mounted in the line of scrimmage. It seems to stiffen on the bench so long in the first quarter. In retrospect, Rex Ryan, could have put the ball instead of deferring it has been doing throughout the year. Their defense has been great in the playoffs, where he was pushed around the entire first half. They gave up pieces of footage to the Steelers' attack. His school had a couple of picks, but there was a key drop by Drew Coleman in the third quarter that could have turned the game after the Jets had scored the Jets' first touchdown. The Jets made a valiant effort getting back in the game. Mark Sanchez continued his strong postseason play. His task was made more difficult after they fell 24-0 and could not afford to run their offense first normal race. His long pass to Santonio Holmes comeback start 3rd quarter was a thing of beauty. The Jets not only run when in the red zone. When he could not score with the first and goal with seven minutes remaining proved the difference in the game. Their defense could not get the key stop on the point of giving their offense another chance. Its' a tough loss after making an amazing comeback, but the Jets were climbing uphill the whole game. Just ran out of gas. His goal next year in addition to winning the Super Bowl might be easier if you can win the division and get a bye. That way you will not have to spend so much energy just to reach the final of the championship.
