This year in the National Football League Playoffs there have been numerous upset victories in the early rounds knocking out many Superbowl hopefuls. So far, both number one seeds and all the number three through five seeds have been eliminated. This means two of the remaining four teams or the second seeds and the other half the sixth seeds from each conference. The craziness began in the NFC, when the Seattle Seahawks upset last year's Superbowl Champs, the New Orleans Saints and the sixth seeded Green Bay Packers upset the Philadelphia Eagles and the dynamic Michael Vick. It continued when, in the next round Green Bay beat the top seeded Atlanta Falcons in Atlanta, where the Falcons have lost only twice with Matt Ryan at quarterback. In the AFC, the New York Jets pulled off a last second win over Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts, and then defeated the Superbowl favorite New England Patriots, who last time they played, destroyed the Jets 45-3. With the way the playoffs of been going this year it wouldn't be unlikely for Green Bay and New York to play each other in Dallas for the Superbowl in a game of both sixth seeded teams.
