• San Diego 7, Kansas City 20. So, what did you use for pregame motivation, Marty, the tape of Jim Mora screaming, "PLAYOFFS? PLAYOFFS?!" I feel much pain.
• Buffalo 37, Cincinnati 27. Rough day for Chad Johnson. First, someone stole his reindeer (I HATE YOU, whoever it was), and then, they lose to the Bills, of all people. Bills QB Kelly Holcomb had his yearly 300-yard game, and Terrence McGee had two returns (a kickoff and an interception) for TDs.
• Dallas 24, Carolina 20. It's never a good idea to run into Billy Cundiff, Julius Peppers, because one way or another, he will mess you up. I hope we've all learned a lesson from this.
