Green Bay again with title in NFC North
29.05.2013
Green Bay kept their title in NFC North and secured participation in the playoffs two weeks before the end of the regular season. "The Wrappers" won the visit of Chicago with 21:13 and James Jones was the star of the day. Wide receiver touched the ball just five times, but in three of the cases come with it in the end zone. Aside from the sham tricky playmaking in which Jeremy Ross dropped the ball and gave to the hosts three points, Green Bay did not meet any problems against a rival who reported with the miserable 190 yards in attack and is about for a second consecutive season to watch on TV the knockout.
Baltimore became part of the playoffs, albeit through the back door. "The Ravens" are without a win since November, and a slap from Denver on Sunday was resonant. Joe Flack (20 of 40 for 254 yards) threw costly interception at the end of the first half that Chris Harris returned 98 yards for a touchdown, and the debut of the new offense coordinator Jim Caldwell was embarrassing. Schemes of former Indianapolis coach who on Monday replaced Cam Cameron brought only three points in 45 minutes and two late touchdowns of Dennis Pita made the result little more presentable - 17:34.
San Francisco qualified for the playoffs in NFC after crazy game in Foksbaro against New England. "Naynars" scattered 28 point lead and were boosted to the largest wreck in the history of the league when the rookie James LaMaykal returned kick 62 yards. Seconds later Michael Crabtree turned pass from Colin Kaparnik in triumphant 38-yard touchdown and San Francisco won with 41:34, despite they conceded a record number of points since Jim Harb led the team.
The success of five-time champion moved Houston one victory from home-field advantage in AFC playoffs. "The Texans" won for the second consecutive year in the AFK South title after five field goal of Shane Graham for 29:17 at home against Indianapolis. Arian Foster ran 165 yards and Andre Johnson caught 11 passes for 151 and JJ Watt recorded three coats against choice № 1 in the draft Andrew Luk and tied Alden Smith (SF) on top with with 19.5. They are just three of the record Michael Streyhan and the next week Houston hosts Minnesota.
NY Giants parted with the position of the leaders in the NFC East and left the area of the playoffs. After a 16-year hiatus the champions left the field without even to score a point! Eli Manning (13 of 25 for 161 yards) threw two interceptions and Craig Lampkin lost fumble at 0:34 as guests of Atlanta. Matt Ryan (23 of 28 for 270 yards) submitted touchdowns, while Michael Turner added one at land for "The Falcons", which in victory on Sunday as guests of Detroit will celebrate Christmas as a guaranteed № 1 in the scheme of the playoffs in NFC.
