My favorite team was the Dolphins, and then my next favorites were the Steelers, Jaguars (strangely!), Chiefs, Chargers (strangely!), Commanders, Eagles, Lions, Bears, Panthers and 49ers (strangely!). Strangest of all was that I found myself rooting less for the Packers than I ever have in my life. Now, truthfully, I still was rooting for them a little, and I had a twinge of sadness when they were eliminated last night. But, mostly, I was happy for the Lions, and I wish they had made the playoffs ahead of Seattle.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-81533547826626450112023-01-08T23:24:51.132-05:002023-01-08T23:24:51.132-05:00In the last game of the regular season, Detroit go...In the last game of the regular season, Detroit goes to Green Bay and beats the Packers 20 to 16, thus eliminating the Pack and making clear that the NFL certainly does not fix the games to get playoff matchups that would pull big TV ratings.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-45523975814092087782023-01-08T21:44:01.338-05:002023-01-08T21:44:01.338-05:00Here's how South Dakota State won it all:
