In a great weekend for Professional Football, the AFC wildcard playoffs provided great entertainment, intrigue and excitement for every fan who watched.

The marquee matchup was perhaps between AFC South runners-up, Indianapolis and the winners of the AFC West, San Diego. San Diego was not given much of a chance in the game, due in part to their 8-8 record and despite their home field advantage, they weren’t expected to be able to handle the powerful Colts, led by Peyton Manning.

Alas, the Chargers had more to say about it than the talking heads as San Diego defeated the Colts in overtime, 23-17.

In the other AFC matchup, the AFC North runners-up, Baltimore took out revenge on the Miami Dolphins by clubbing them 27-9. The Ravens were the only team who were defeated by Miami in last year’s abysmal 1-16 season. Sorry folks, you’ll have to wait until next year to buy your Miami Dolphins tickets.

With the wins by San Diego and Baltimore, it sets up a couple of week two matchups in Tennessee and Pittsburgh, where the Titans will host the Ravens, while the Steelers will try to hold serve against San Diego.
