I could not of asked my defense to step up any better than what they did, especially in the 4th quarter. My offense just could not get into the end zone, settling for field goal after field goal. But once again, Tony Romo screws up in the playoffs in a drastic way, throwing 3 interceptions in the 4th quarter (5 overall), 2 of which were returned for touchdowns and sealed the win for my Lions. The only offense we could generate was with Josh Johnson's legs, as he ran for 99yds on 14carries. We move on to the NFC Championship game, where we'll take on the New Orleans Saints who upset the Philly Eagles this week.
