Down Goes Manning! Down Goes Brady!
Posted by: Bradley McDonald
Well, Pittsburgh did it! They beat the unbeatable team. The Steelers survived a close one against the Colts when Indy missed a game-tying field goal in the final seconds. No one gave Pittsburgh much of a chance against this Colts team, but the Steelers blitzed and harassed Peyton all day long and the Colts offense struggled most of the day, except for a couple of drives.
Chalk this win up to Pittsburgh's coaches. They learned their lesson from the first matchup and had a brilliant game plan in place.
Even though I have nothing against Indy, I found myself cheering for the Steelers. Ever since the Colts started 13-0, everybody had pretty much given them a Super Bowl win, so it was fun to see an upset of this caliber.
Tom Brady of the Patriots finally learned what it was like to lose in the playoffs. Denver pulled away from New England in the fourth quarter and ended up winning a 27-13 ballgame. This was the Patriots first loss in the playoffs since 1999.
Oh, and Carolina beat Chicago and Seattle beat Washington.

Our household is still in mourning! Here in VT, we are AVID Patriots fans, as well as diehard Skins fans (family in DC). To have them both eliminated on the same day was too much for us. We probably won't even WATCH the Superbowl. :( *sigh*
