For the second time in less than a week, the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Dallas Cowboys at Cowboys Stadium. The only difference this time is the game is do-or-die for both teams, as the winner advances to the divisional round of the playoffs, while the loser begins their 2010 offseason. If either of the two teams should be worried, it should be Philadelphia, considering Dallas has won both ...

As we are a few hours away from kickoff of the 2009-2010 NFL Playoffs, I found myself wondering what NFC teams needed to do to get to the Super Bowl. The NFC was a much different conference than most of us thought it would be. Teams that were supposed to do well didn't, and other teams that started hot, finished not.

New York Jets at Cincinnati Bengals Quarterbacks: Mark Sanchez is a rookie, and has played like it this season. The defense is the reason they are in the playoffs, and it keeps them in games. Without Carson Palmer last season, the Bengals were 4-11-1, and looked lost on offense.

Al Davis is facing a crisis that is rapidly reaching an epic level. The agingáowner has watchedáhis beloved Raiders be ridiculed and mocked, and the downward spiral has spanned seven long seasons.
