Super Bowl 45 Results
This week was the week of Super Bowl 45 with the Green Bay Packers against the Pittsburgh Steelers and it was one to remember.
With the Packers, winning the coin toss and choosing to kick the game began.
First quarter: The Packers are the ones who get the first points of the game with an Aaron Rogers pass to Jordy Nelson (#87). Right when the Steelers get the ball back on third down. Ben Roethlisberger throws an interception and Nick Collins runs it back for a GB TD, now with the score 14-0 and still in the 1st quarter.
Now in the second quarter the Steelers finally get their first points with a FG. Then Jarrett Bush (#24) had his turn at grabbing an interception from Roethlisberger. Soon after that, GB got their third TD on a pass from Rogers to Greg Jennings for a total 21 yards. With 36 seconds left the Steelers, manage to get a TD throw to Hines Ward. Now with the score 21-10 it goes into halftime.
Halftime: Packers are winning 21-10.
In the third quarter, when the Packers get the ball first they cannot make any points out of it. Then the Steelers manage to score again with a hand off to Rashard Mendenhall with a TD. Score is now 21-17. Then Clay Matthews and Desmond Bishop force a fumble. Shortly after that, the Packers get another TD 28-17. Then the Steelers get a TD and a 2-pt conversion making the score 28-25.
In the fourth quarter the Packers get a FG. Now all the packers have to do is hold off the Steelers. Now with it being fourth down and five the Steelers have only one more chance to get a first down and still have a chance. However, they miss it and the Green Bay Packers take the win of 31-25 and are the Super Bowl 45 Champions.
So now, all I have to say is congratulations to the Green Bay Packers.

Championship week
This week was the Championship games for both the NFC and AFC.
The games This week the Pittsburgh Steelers played against the New York Jets. The result: the Steelers won 24-19.
Next the Green Bay Packers against the Chicago Bears: This rivalry has history. However, this time the Packers take the win over the Bears 21-14. This actually was a very interesting game. The Bears had put in their third string QB Caleb Hanie. And managed to catch the Bears up some, but not enough to win the NFC title.
Stats This will be the Steelers 7th time in the Superbowl.
Therefore, the NFC champions are Green Bay Packers and the NFC champions are the Pittsburgh Steelers.
And so in 3 weeks these two teams will meet in Dallas, Texas for Superbowl XLV.
Divisional playoff results
This week was a week of surprises, as the two leaders of both divisions have been eliminated from the playoffs.
The games This week the Baltimore Ravens played against the Pittsburgh Steelers. They Steelers won 31-24. It really was unbelievable how the Steelers were able to make their come back in the second half. But anything can happen in the playoffs.
The next game was the green Bay Packers against the Atlanta Falcons, the NFL’s second leading team. The result, Green Bay wins 48-21. It was really surprising to see the Packers win, especially when they had to beat one of the top teams in the NFL. Hopefully they can continue their drive to Superbowl 45.
The Seattle Seahawks played against the Chicago Bears this week as well. Another rivalry that was sure to be a good game. But in the end the Bears won 35-24. It was amazing that the Seahawks beat last years champions in last weeks game but its still upsetting to see their streak coming to an end.
The final game this week was one that many will remember, New York Jets vs. the NFL’s leading team, the New England Patriots. In the regular season these two teams met twice, one resulted in the Jets winning 28-14; the second time they met resulted in the Patriots winning 45-3. The lose was so humiliating to the Jets that they had actually hoped to play them again in the playoffs to get them back for their last game together. The result, jets win 28-21.
Stats With the Jets beating the Patriots, the Jets became the only team that has beaten the Colts and the Patriots back-to-back. This week Tom Brady got sacked 5 times. In the game Tom Brady (#12) made his first interception in 330 throws and hasn’t thrown an interception since week 6.
Championship games This week is the final week before the Superbowl. This week will decide who is going and who is not.

Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears @ 3:00 on Sunday. They will be playing at Soldier Field in Chicago.
AFC round

New York Jets vs. New England Patriots (AFC) On Sunday @ 4:30
Seattle Seahawks vs. Chicago Bears (NFC) On Sunday @ 1:00
But only four more teams will make it to the championship game and eventually the Superbowl. It should be interesting to see who will make it this year and who won’t, considering last years two Superbowl teams were eliminated last week in the wild-card.
Colts vs. Jets Wild-card game
The game The first quarter of the game was scoreless. The second quarter though, Manning made a throw to Pierre Garcon for a TD, the first of the night and the first scoring of the game. And with less then a minuet to go the Jets tried for a TD but was intercepted by Justin Tryon, and the Colts just run the time down.
Halftime; Colts are in the lead 7-0.
The third quarter though has the Jets getting a TD of their own tying the score 7-7. Then the Colts get a FG. Fourth quarter the Jets score again with a TD. But the Colts then take another FG making them only one point behind 14-13. With less then a minuet to go Adam Vinatieri makes a 51 yard FG putting the Colts ahead of the Jets 16-14. But with the help of the special team’s return, the Jets end up winning with a FG and no time left on the clock. Jets win 17-16. It was a sad loss for the Colts, now out of the playoffs and with such a close game as well.
The Jets will play next week against the New England Patriots. In the Regular season the Jets had played against the Patriots twice, winning one of the games and then losing the other so it will be interesting to see who wins this game.
Stats This week Peyton Manning threw his 400th TD pass. This season Jacob Tamme has had over 70 catches since game 7 of the regular season (Leads the NFL).
Other Playoff games Also this week the New Orleans Saints played against the Seattle Seahawks. And the Seahawks won 41-36.
In this last week, last years super bowl 44’s two teams have been eliminated out of the playoffs in the wild-card. It should be interesting to see who makes it to Super Bowl 45 this year and who will win it.
Colts vs titans: the results
The results This week the Colts played against the Tennessee titans a lot was at stake because the Colts needed to win this game to be able to make the playoffs. And the Colts managed to pull out another win at home.
The game In the first quarter Colts get the first points of the game with a FG. After that, Tennessee kicker Rob Bironas tied the game with a little over two minuets left in the first quarter. In the second quarter Colts get another FG after not being able to get a TD. Titans get another FG. Then right after the 2 minuet warning, Manning throws to Reggie Wayne for a 7 yard TD, the first of the game.
Halftime: Colt led the game 13-6
In the third quarter, titans get a 21 yard TD tying the game up again. But the Pierre Garcon gets a 30 yard TD, putting them in the lead once again. But the titans respond with another TD of their own. Score is now 20-20. Fourth quarter the Colts manage to sack Kerry Collins. With less than two minuets to go, the Colts fumbled the ball, now with the Titans close to winning the game, had a bad snap and lost the ball. Now with only 30 seconds to go, the Colts have to hurry to get in range for a FG. Adam Vinatieri scored the winning FG. Final score: 23-20
Stats This was the second time of the season the Colts beat the titans. The pass to Pierre Garcon was Manning’s 399th TD pass.
Playoffs The Colts are now in the 2010 season playoffs, and next week we will be playing against the New York Jets at home. Now we have to hope that the Colts can hang on to the spot they have right now.

With one more week left in the regular season, there is still time for more teams to get eliminated from the wild-card or take the divisional place. Only two more spots are available in the playoffs, this final week will determine who will make it and who won’t.
For the Colts we just need to win this game on Sunday against Tennessee, and we will win the AFC south divisional and make it to the playoffs.
On Thursday the Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier, announced that Brett Favre has not passed his concussion test, so for now it is doubtful that he will play in Sunday’s game against Detroit. This will be Brett Favre’s last season in football, and had hoped that he would be able to play his last game, we all wish him luck and that he will recover soon.
Colts vs Raiders: The Results
The Result Today the Colts played in Oakland, California. The results: the Colts win 31-26.
The game Today Joseph Addai was back in the game after being out since October. And in the First quarter ran for a TD but not before the Raiders run back the first punt of the game (also the first play of the game) for a 100 yard TD. The second quarter starts with the Colts getting a FG, putting them in the lead for the first time of the game. Then the raiders have a chance for a 59 yard FG, and they make it. Jacob Tamme got a TD today as well making the Colts 17-13 over the Raiders.
Halftime Colts are leading 17-13.
Third quarter, Colts get the ball but punt it away. But the next time they get the ball Manning throws an interception, but the Raiders get nothing out of it. Raiders then get a FG, afterward the Colts make up for it by throwing to Blaire White and getting a TD. The fourth quarter though the Colts lose the ball again, though again nothing was gained from it. On a third down Manning threw the ball to Pierre Garcon for a TD, score is now 31-19. Then the Raiders try for a fourth down and miss it, so the Colts get the ball at the Raiders 45 but can get nothing out of it. After that Raiders get a TD making the score 31-26. Now the Raiders will try for an onside kick, but Jacob Tamme retrieves the ball. All the Colts have to do is waste time. With less then a minuet to go Peyton Manning runs the ball 30 yards to within the 5 yard line and slides down. The Colts take a knee and win 31-19. Their record is 9-6.
Stats Today Sebastian Janikowski kicked a 59 yard field goal his second of his career, which is most in the NFL. Though his record high is 61 yards, as I have heard today its ‘scary accurate.’ This was Manning’s 207th starting game 2nd in the NFL with Brett Favre in the lead with 297 starting games.
The Playoff chances Since the Colts won this game they only have to win their next game against Tennessee. But it’s not as bad if they lose because Jacksonville lost today in OT against the Washington Redskins, making them two games behind the Colts. So now the Colts are in the lead for the AFC south division, and in a position for the playoffs.
The Colts did really well today at Oakland, and I and everyone in Indiana hope that we will see more of that in upcoming game and hopefully in the playoffs. And we hope that all the people who are injured will get better so that we might see them in the upcoming seasons.
Update on Favre
According to the NFL Brett Favre is going to play in tonight’s game against the Chicago Bears. But it seems that the Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is out for the game due to an ankle injury.
