Green Bay Packers @ Philadelphia Eagles
It was an exciting way to start the weekend. With Green Bay traveling to Philadelphia for the first ever playoff matchup between these two historic franchises. Green Bay started off the first half really strong. By the end of the first quarter Brett Farve had helped build a nice 14-0 lead while the Eagles defense struggled to slow them down. The second quarter would be nicer to them though as Packers running back Ahmad Green went down with a devastating leg injury, thus making the Packer offense revovle around Farve for the rest of the game. Before too long the Eagles managed to stop the Packers for the first time and would begin to crawl back into the game by scoring their first TD of the game, thanks to Duce Staley diving into the endzone.
The second half would be a turning of the tides, with Green now out for the rest of the game, the Packers would struggle to keep up the pace they set in the first quarter and they would end up losing the lead, thanks to two picks from Farve. The Eagles made Green Bay pay for turning it over, making the score 17-14 in their favor as the third quarter ended. The Packers would wait until the fourth to score again but would leave too much time on the clock. In dramatic fashion Donovan McNabb would lead Philly down the field and would score a game winning TD pass to Freddie Mitchell to send them to the NFC Championship for the third straight year. The final score was 24-21.
Miami Dolphins @ Kansas City Chiefs
This game would also prove to be pretty exciting. Miami would get things started out fast with a quick score via a Ricky Willams 6 yard TD, but it would only be one upped when the Chiefs would tie things up thanks to Daunte Hall returning their kickoff all the way back to the house. The half would continue at a high pace and before too long the score was already 24-24, both teams hitting in a field goal and scoring a couple TDs along the way. Chiefs QB Trent Green would try to chuck one down field to score again before the half closed out but the ball would be picked off downfield closing out the half.
The second half would continue the high pace. Miami took the lead back with a close range field goal by Olindo Mare but the Chiefs would respond with a Priest Holmes touchdown. By the time the game was winding down, the Chiefs lead had inflated to 8 points and the score had doubled from what it was at half to a ridiculous 45-37. Miami would attempt to get down the field for a potential game tying score but would instead have their second turnover of the game when Williams would have the ball stripped from him as he came to the ground by Chiefs LB Shawn Barber. Kansas City would advance to the AFC Championship after a crazy 45-37 win over the Dolphins.
