NFC Heavyweights
 

We’ve got the NFC Championship we expected in October, even if we didn’t expect it last week.

The Vikings and Saints didn’t just win their Divisional Round games; they demolished quality opponents by a combined score of 79-17. Brett Favre’s final touchdown toss to Visanthe Shiancoe late in Sunday’s game rubbed some folks the wrong way, but it was a fitting capper to the NFC weekend.

This wasn’t about mercy; it was about two old fashioned, 31-point whuppings. It was about two teams, 21-1 after Week 12, reasserting their dominance.

Good read. No predictions. No comparisons of one person being better than another at x-position. Just a good article about the best two teams in the NFC going head-to-head. Kudos, Gregg Rosenthal. Great find, exile.
