NFL Update by Rexswimguy

In NFL post-season action yesterday, the Falcons narrowly escaped on a last-second field goal, ending the Cinderella bid of the Seahawks.  Meanwhile, the perennially-dominant Patriots managed to get by the Texans to set up a repeat of last year's AFC championship game next week against the Ravens.

... plus Falcons place kicker, #3 Matt Bryant, and his game-winning field goal yesterday.  Kickers don't get too much respect .. until they are called upon to perform the occasional miracle, like yesterday.  Congratulations to Matt!
