It's back to the 80's and 90's, because the New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers are facing off in the NFC Championship game. This time, however, there is no Joe Montana, no Steve Young, no Phil Simms, no Jeff Garcia, and no Kerry Collins. It's two number-one draft picks, Eli Manning and Alex Smith. Last week, San Francisco upset the New Orleans Saints and won a dramatic game with an Alex Smith touchdown pass, when only nine seconds remained on the clock. New York didn't need the dramatics, but they got the upset as well, beating the defending champion Green Bay Packers 37-20 in Green Bay. Now, Manning meets Smith for a Super Bowl berth. Earlier in the year, San Francisco got a home game against the Giants and won 27-20, but a lot has changed since then.. The 49ers defense picked off Manning twice and stopped the Giants rushing attack, but they needed Justin Smith to knock down a last-second pass to clinch the win. For this one, though, the stakes are m...

Another unbelievable playoff moment just happened down at Candlestick. But this time, there was no Joe Montana or Dwight Clark. No Steve Young or Terrell Owens. Not even Jeff Garcia was piloting the Niners. It was Alex Smith and Vernon Davis, etching their names into the 49er lure forever. Smith hit Davis for a fourteen-yard scoring strike with nine seconds left, giving the 49ers a 36-32 win over the Saints and powering them into the NFC Championship. The first overall pick in the 2005 draft finally lived up to his potential, throwing for three touchdowns and running for one. The defense forced five turnovers, two of them interceptions. Early on, San Francisco led 17-0, and with the top-ranked defense in the NFL, they looked poised to hold on and win. However, Brees and the Saints rallied, and in the second quarter, Brees hit Jimmy Graham and Marques Colston for touchdowns, and the score was 17-14. San Francisco, who were known for field goals, were able to score touchdowns...

According to the "experts", Tebow Time was over. First, you have to check with Tim Tebow. Tebow didn't approve. In the biggest game of Tebow's NFL career, he put on his biggest show yet. Tebow threw for 316 yards and two touchdowns, including the 80-yard winner to Demaryius Thomas on the first play of overtime. Nobody thought they could do it. All 10 ESPN NFL analysts picked Pittsburgh to beat Denver and move on for a classic Roethlisberger-Brady battle. Instead, it's Brady and Tebow. In the first quarter, Denver fell behind 6-0, and if it wasn't for a 3rd down drop by Jericho Cotchery, the score likely would have been at least 9-0. During the second quarter, Denver scored 33 points all season, 14 of those in a loss to Green Bay. Against Pittsburgh, they scored 20. Tebow hit Thomas for a 51 game when Thomas saw his quarterback in trouble and ran deep (undesigned) to give Tebow a target. That set up the first touchdown of the game, when Tebow thre...
