The 2011 NFL Playoffs kicked off with its Wild Card matchups in both NFC and AFC conferences last weekend.
Saturday's action included victories by the Houston Texans, who captured their franchise's first ever playoff victory by beating the Cincinnati Bengals 31-10; and the New Orleans Saints took out the Detroit Lions 45-28.
Sunday's early game saw the New York Giants beat down the Atlanta Falcons 24-2 to advance to the divisional semi-final against the defending Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers.
But so far, the real thriller of the tournament was Sunday's other AFC Wild Card game, which saw QB Tim Tebow and the surprising Denver Broncos shock the perrenial powerhouse Pittsburgh Steelers in a thrilling 29-23 overtime victory.
