AFC and NFC Conference Playoffs

From NFLmedia.com

Four games played by the top eight.
That is the quick rundown as the NFL takes the next step towards Super Bowl XLI with its Divisional Playoffs this
weekend that feature the top four seeds in the AFC and NFC conferences.
“The intensity rises,” says Baltimore Ravens quarterback STEVE MC NAIR, who has traveled this route before on the
way to a Super Bowl. “In the regular season, you can make up games. In the playoffs, you lose and you go home.”

In addition to the drama of the weekend due to its sudden-elimination import, there are numerous additional storylines:
• Three games are between teams now either tied in wins (Indianapolis-Baltimore) or separated by only one win
(Philadelphia-New Orleans and New England-San Diego).
• There are two 2006 regular-season rematches (Philadelphia-New Orleans and Seattle-Chicago).
• One game features the NFC’s top seeds of the past two seasons (Seattle, 2005; Chicago, 2006).
• Another game – New England-San Diego – pits a three-time Super-Bowl-winning quarterback – TOM BRADY –
against a QB making his first postseason start – PHILIP RIVERS.

The lineup for all this excitement:
