It wasn't the prettiest win, but the Colts were able to beat the Ravens 20-3 thanks to key fumbles by Ed Reed and Ray Rice. Once the Colts went into the 4th quarter leading 17-3, I knew it was over because Joe Flacco is an awful playoff QB at this point in his career (QB rating in 5 playoff games: 46.5).
And yesterday, the Jets pulled off the upset of the playoffs so far by beating the Chargers 17-14. Honestly, I'm terrified of the Jets. I know the media points to the fact that the Colts were beating the Jets in that Week 16 game before handing the game to them by pulling all their starters, but they were still killing the Colts rushing the ball. Thomas Jones and Shonn Greene ran the ball a combined 39 times for over 200 yards in that game and I'm sure the Colts will see plenty more of that. It's up to Manning to make the correct reads and make the Jets pay for their constant blitzing and the Colts should move on to the Super Bowl.
I'm also glad to report that Ferio is no longer on suicide watch after the Cowboys got wrecked by the Vikings. Tony Romo had 0 touchdowns and 3 turnovers, but to be fair his O-Line played like shit. Still, Tony Romo sucks.

You can't stop Manning, you can only hope to contain him.
Laser-armed.
