It turned out to be a nail-biting finish. Did you watch? What did you think of the game.
It was a "game for the ages" one TV commentator remarked after the Falcons beat the Seattle Seahawks Sunday night with just eight seconds left on the clock. I've watched a lot of games that came down to seconds before the winner was decided. I have to admit I had my doubts that the Falcons could pull this one off. If you're a long-time football fan, you may have remembered other seemingly impossible wins such as the Boston College win over Univ. of Miami in 1984 when Doug Flutie threw a Hail Mary pass to win with only seconds left. FOX Sports writer Kevin Hench claimed it was among the most memorable moments in sports. After Atlanta led 27-7 at the end of the third quarter, the Seahawks scored 21 points in the fourth and those of us …

The Seattle Seahawks face the Atlanta Falcons today in the second-round NFC division playoff game. It's a home game for the Falcons, the game start is 1 p.m. Jan. 13 at the Georgia Dome, and will be televised on Fox. Statistician Nate Silver predicted that the Seahawks will face the Patriots in the Super Bowl, but Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson and the Seahawks need first to get through what could be a tough game in Atlanta against the Falcons and their quarterback Matt Ryan. The winner of Sunday's matchup will advance to the NFC Championship and face the San Francisco 49ers, who had a convincing win against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday. Who's your pick to win? Falcons or Seahawks? Let us know using the comment box below.

Sunday, December 18, 2011
Now, a matchup made for sports bars, home theaters -- and SEC football fans. On Sunday, the Denver Broncos host the New England Patriots (4:15 p.m. EST). That means that Tim Tebow, the former Florida Gators QB now with the Broncos, will face Tom Brady, who has three Super Bowl rings with the Patriots. Doesn't get any better. Tebow, with his scrambling style of play and outspoken religious views, has a 7-1 record as a starter this season. Brady? Well, everyone knows about him. Since he took over from Drew Bledsoe in the 2001 season, he has been one of the NFL's top quarterbacks. Here's a "tale of the tape" for Tebow and Brady this season. So now, THE question: Who will win Sunday, Denver or New England. And why? Take our poll, and tell us …

A house divided by NFL fans of Green Bay and Atlanta will at least get a clean bedroom from the outcome.
The NFL game between the Green Bay Packers and Atlanta Falcons has created at least one divided house in metro Atlanta. I have lived in Atlanta for more than half of my life (we won’t go into how many years that is). I am an Atlanta Falcons fan, with one exception: When the Dirty Birds play the Green Bay Packers — like they do this Sunday night — I see only green-and-gold. Yep, I’m a Cheesehead. That’s not a big deal, with one exception: My 14-year-old son is partial to the red-and-black of the Falcons. He’s a big fan, with more Falcons gear than most of his friends. Yep, I failed miserably as a football father. You can probably guess that the house will hear a little bit of trash-talking this weekend. Of how Matt Ryan, Tony Gonzalez and …
