Divisional Playoffs
Al Coble RB Cincinnati 11-5 @ Jacksonville 15-1
Jacksonville only lost one game this year, and that was to Al Coble’s Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals proved that they can top Jacksonville, however, the Jags also topped Cincy, although that was a much closer game. Who will win the rubber match between these two? One problem for the Bengals though is that both the #1 and #2 QBs
Jacksonville scored three field goals in the first half for the only scoring of the half. In the second the Bengals were able to put up 10 points to take a small 1 point lead. In the fourth they extended that lead to 11 with another TD and field goal. Jacksonville cut that lead to 3 with a 27 yard TD pass & 2 point conversion, but there was only 42 second left in the game. When the Bengals recovered the onside kick Jacksonville knew they were finished. Cincinnati comes up with the big upset. Final 20-17. Al however had a forgettable game. 20 carries for 1 yard (that is not a type-o, just one yard). He did catch 5 passes for 50 yards though to salvage some respect. The rest of the teams in the playoffs celebrate this win by the Bengals as it now opens it up for more teams to win it all.

Marty Gage RB/Carlton Gomez DE Hartford 10-7 @ Huntsville 13-3
The favorite to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl is the Huntsville Packers, who look like they are at the beginning of a dynasty. The Pack has scored more than any other team, and they have allowed fewer points than any other team. With the Jags out of the running they see the Super Bowl championship as theirs, and no team that barley snuck into the playoffs would stop them.
No one expected Hartford to have any chance, but going into the 4th quarter, the game was tied at 10. It was anyone game, and the Muskrats were playing up to the Packers’ level. But it was not to be. 2 4th quarter TDs gave the Pack a 24-10 lead that would end Hartford’s season. Marty finished with 124 yards and a TD on 29 carries. A respectable game, but it wasn’t enough. Sorry Grid Iron. Carlton Gomez recorded 6 tackles and 2 assists in the loss. It would have been a good night if only they had won. Marty was named offensive player of the week, a lot of good that does him.

Percy Buchanan QB Washington 11-5 vs. Detroit 11-6
Washington is looking to defend their Super Bowl title and the first step in that process it to get past the Lions. With one of the highest scoring teams in the NFL, Percy should have little trouble scoring against the lions. But the defense has been the Redskins’ weakness this year.
The defense played poorly again giving up 27 points, and bowing a 23-17 lead in the final 3 minutes of the fourth quarter. But with 42 seconds left in the game, Percy felt like that was plenty of time to march down the field and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. 69 yards in just 2 plays and 21 seconds. Washington wins 30-27. Percy completed 22 of 39 for 287 yards and 2 TDs.

Conference Championships
Al Coble RB Cincinnati 11-5 @ Seattle 11-6
Seattle had a great start to the season, and then fell apart in the middle. They were able to salvage the season by winning 5 of their final 7 games though and they were able to win the AFC west. Last week Seattle won just their first ever playoff game.
But Seattle’s magic ends here. There is no way to write this up to make it look exciting. The Bengals dominate the entire game. The final score is 31-9. Al is given 19 carries for 76 yards and a TD

Percy Buchanan QB Washington 11-5 @ Huntsville 14-3
Huntsville is the team to beat, and if Percy wants to return to the big game, the road is through Alabama
The first half looked beautiful for the Redskins. Percy threw three TDs to give the Redskins a 21-0 lead, and it looked like the Packers had fallen apart. But the second half was a completely different story. The Washington defense didn’t do much to stop the Packers as they scored on every possession. Washington gave up 38 second half points. Percy was able to get Washington into the end zone 2 more times, but they came just short, losing 38-35. Percy had a fabulous day that will be forgotten. 31 of 38 for 376 yards and 3 TDs. For the second week in a row a player from a losing team is named offensive player of the week.

Next week, the Super Bowl: Cincinnati @ Huntsville
