Comments:
The road teams went 3-1 this round, which is probably good news for the teams playing at home next week.
Congratulations to the Saints, who got their first road win in the playoffs this week. That leaves the Bengals as the only franchise without a road win in the playoffs. (Although the Lions don't have one since 1957, and the Browns don't have one since 1969.)
Sadly, the Packers couldn't quite pull off the upset, and so the FSPI streak of the lowest ranked playoff team winning in the first round ends this year.
The Eagles move up a spot on their loss, at least partly because the Steelers look worse because of the Bengals 17 point loss (note the Ravens also dropped a couple spots).
