Seattle 35, Washington 14 Midway through the fourth quarter it seemed as though the Washington Redskins might ride their inspirational run to an upset victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Trailing 13-0 heading into the final period, Washington scored consecutive touchdowns to take a 14-13 lead, and then recovered the ensuing kickoff. Unfortunately for the Redskins, Shaun Suisham missed a short field goal, keeping Washington from maintaining their momentum. Seattle then scored fourteen points in less than a minute, on a 20-yard touchdown catch by D.J. Hackett and a 78-yard interception return by Marcus Trufant. Matt Hasselbeck struggled, going 20-for-32 with 229 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions, but the Seahawks? opportunistic defense allowed them to overcome their offensive shortcomings. Todd Collins played well for Washington, going 29-for-50 with 286 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Neither team ran the ball too often, or too well. Washington rushed 29 times for a total of 75 yards, while Seattle ran just 21 times for 77 yards. The Seahawks will face the Packers this weekend. Playoff Stud: D.J. Hackett, SEA: 6 catches for 101 receiving yards and one touchdown. Jacksonville 31, Pittsburgh 29 The Jacksonville Jaguars stormed out of the gates and took a 21-7 halftime lead over the Pittsburgh Steelers, but needed a last minute scoring drive in order to lock up the victory. Ben Roethlisberger was 29-for-42 with 337 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions, while David Garrard went 9-for-21 with 140 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. The Jaguars rode their stellar rushing attack to victory, as Fred Taylor, Maurice Jones-Drew and Garrard combined for 135 yards and two touchdowns. Pittsburgh rallied to take a 29-28 lead with less than three minutes remaining on a 1-yard touchdown run by Najeh Davenport, but they failed on a two-point conversion pass that would have given them a three-point edge. That failure proved costly as Garrard led the Jaguars down field in time for Josh Scobee to kick a 25-yard game-winning field goal. The Jaguars will face the undefeated Patriots this Saturday night. Playoff Stud: Hines Ward, PIT: 10 catches for 135 receiving yards. N.Y. Giants 24, Tampa Bay 14 Eli Manning got a sizeable monkey off his back on Sunday as he led the Giants to their first playoff victory in seven years, achieving his first postseason win in the process. Manning went 20-for-27 with 185 yards and two touchdowns, but more important was the fact that he had zero turnovers. Jeff Garcia, who was steady all season long, struggled against the Giants? improved secondary. Garcia finished the day 23-for-39 with 207 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Earnest Graham played well for Tampa Bay, running for 63 yards and a touchdown against New York. The Giants? two-headed running attack of Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw totaled 110 rushing yards and a touchdown of their own. After falling behind 7-0, New York scored 24 straight points to take the lead for good. Manning and the Giants will travel to Dallas this weekend to play the rival Cowboys for the chance to reach to NFC title game. Playoff Stud: Amani Toomer, NYG: 7 catches for 74 receiving yards and one touchdown. San Diego 17, Tennessee 6 The San Diego Chargers? offense came to life at just the right moment as they sent the Tennessee Titans home on Sunday, winning 17-6. The Titans led 6-0 at the half, but San Diego rallied to score 17 points over a sixteen minute period that bridged the third and fourth quarters. Philip Rivers finished the day 19-for-30 with 292 yards, one touchdown and an interception. Vince Young struggled in his playoff debut, going 16-for-29 with 138 yards and an interception. He added just twelve yards on the ground for Tennessee. LaDainian Tomlinson wasn?t efficient, he ran 21 times for just 42 yards, but he scored a 1-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter that put the game out of reach. LenDale White played well, gaining 69 yards on 19 attempts, but the Titans could only manage two field goals against San Diego?s powerful defense. Chris Chambers helped make up for the loss of Antonio Gates, who left in the first half because of a toe injury, catching six passes for 121 yards. The Chargers will travel to Indianapolis to face the Colts this weekend. Playoff Stud: Vincent Jackson, SD: 5 catches for 114 receiving yards and a touchdown.
