NFC Champ game: Seachickens at Falcons (me).
Game with two teams with top 10 offenses and defenses. Fortunately for me after going up 3-0 on first drive, Wilson got forced out of pocket and threw a pick 6 to Munnerlyn. 10-0 Falcons. Then next possession Wilson scrambles right for a first down but Trufant gets him before he got out of bounds, Fumble!! Inside their 40, Julio sets me up with a great catch inside 10 yard line, then Roddy follows up with a TD grab, 17-0 Falcons. All in first quarter. My defensive gameplan, do not give up big play. Fg's rest of first half, 20-6 Falcons at half. Lynch and Wilson both ran well all game (both 100+ yards) but no runs over 20 yards. End of 3rd quarter 23-13 Falcons. 4th quarter at home JJ said "Rise Up" , and he did with 2 beautiful TD grabs. Seattle got one also. Final: Seahawks 20 Falcons 37.
Chargers upset Broncos in AFC champ.
