Watch Minnesota Vikings vs New Orleans Saints Live Online - 24 Jan 6.40pm ET

On 24 Jan 6.40pm Eastern time, you will be able to Watch Minnesota Vikings vs New Orleans Saints Live Online

by just simply downloading a software that allows for high quality video streaming.

Minnesota has won 18 of 25 regular-season games in this matchup, and has won three straight played in New Orleans since 2002. Minnesota also has a 2-0 record in the playoffs against the Saints. Both teams are coming off big wins in the divisional playoffs. In addition to the action on the field, look for the Superdome crowd to make more noise than the Vikings crowd made last week vs. Dallas.

Brett Favre had a career game last week, throwing four TD passes against the Cowboys. He beat the zone and he beat man coverage, throwing phenomenal passes and putting the ball in the hands of receivers who were blanketed. In his previous nine playoff games, Favre had thrown 18 interceptions; last week he wasn’t even close to getting picked off.

He no longer moves like he once did, but still has a rocket arm and still is accurate on short, medium, and long passes. You have to make him move around. No matter what is called, he can change the play at any time. He likes to double-count to check the coverages and identify blitzes. When he uses a quick count, it’s usually a running play. Favre is not playing like a 40-year-old.

Watch New York Jets vs Indianapolis Colts Live Online - 24 Jan 3pm ET

You can now Watch New York Jets vs Indianapolis Colts Live Online on 24 Jan Sunday 3pm eastern time

using a special downloadable software. This is possible due to the advancement in internet technology.

The Jets' 29-15, come-from-behind win in Week 16 helped them make the playoffs with a 9-7 record. This game is yet another chapter in a rivalry that began when the Jets shocked the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III. From 1970-2001, with the exception of 1982, these teams met twice a year as AFC East rivals. The Colts have won 40 of 66 regular-season games. In addition to the Super Bowl III win, the Jets trounced the Colts in a 2002 playoff game, 41-0.

Revis, selected as a starter for the Pro Bowl (if he's not in the Super Bowl), had six interceptions and 31 passes defended in the regular season. He's had two more picks in the playoffs, including an incredible one last week in San Diego. The interesting thing about last week's win against the chargers is that Revis was not man-up against Vincent Jackson all game long, as expected. The Jets switched him around a bit, which is unusual compared to the way Revis took out the opposition's best receiver throughout the season. Receivers have a hard time getting separation on him. He plays with lots of toughness, and he is the best cornerback in the NFL.

Wayne is the Colts' leading receiver with 100 regular-season catches for 10 touchdowns. He is the go-to guy for Peyton Manning. He makes every catch - crossing routes, slants, comebacks. He loves the double move in the red zone.

After seeing Revis move around more last week, we should also expect to see him covering tight end Dallas Clark - who is a big matchup problem because of his size and speed. Clark, who has great hands, was selected to his first Pro Bowl this year after catching 100 passes. He has amazing ability to be in sync with Manning, does good job blocking on the edge, and is smooth in and out of cuts.

Watch Indianapolis Colts vs Miami Dolphins Live Online

Watch Indianapolis Colts vs Miami Dolphins Live Online

Last meeting
In Week 17 of 2006, Peyton Manning threw two touchdowns and the Colts defeated the Dolphins, 27-22, completing their first perfect home campaign since 1958.

Streaks
Miami has won four of the past six meetings, including a win in the 2000 AFC Wild Card matchup, to increase their overall series lead to 46-23.

Last week
The Dolphins uncharacteristically turned the ball over four times, leading to a 19-7 road loss to the Falcons. ... Reggie Wayne caught 10 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown, providing just enough of a cushion for the Colts to hold on for a 14-12 home win over the Jaguars.

Keep your eye on ...
Indy's wide receivers not named Reggie Wayne: Anthony Gonzalez was expected to play a major role in the Colts' aerial attack this season, but a knee injury will sideline him indefinitely. In the meantime, the Colts will look to Austin Collie and Pierre Garcon -- two players with a combined nine career receptions -- to fill the void alongside Wayne and tight end Dallas Clark.

A more aggressive Colts defense: Indianapolis was never known as a blitz-heavy unit under former coach Tony Dungy's Tampa-2, but new coach Jim Caldwell has his defense playing a more aggressive zone blitz scheme. Despite recording only one sack against Jacksonville, the Colts harassed Jaguars QB David Garrard all day and stacked the box against Maurice Jones-Drew and the ground game. Dolphins QB Chad Pennington isn't prone to making many mistakes, but coming off a two-turnover performance against Atlanta, he's likely to face plenty of pressure.

The turnover battle: Miami's plus-17 turnover ratio was the best in the league last season, but that did not carry over into Week 1. The Dolphins committed four turnovers (three fumbles, one interception) against the Falcons. They'll need to fix that issue quickly to prove that 2008 wasn't a fluke.

Did you know?
The Colts have not lost a regular-season game since Week 8 of last season, a streak of 10 games (longest current streak in the NFL). ... Since 2007, Colts TE Dallas Clark has 17 touchdowns, tied with Antonio Gates for first among all tight ends. ... The Dolphins will play their first home game on Monday Night Football since Dec. 25, 2006.

Watch New York Giants vs Dallas Cowboys Live Online - Week 2

Last meeting
The Cowboys registered eight sacks of Eli Manning and dominated in a 20-8 victory over the Giants in Week 15 of last season.

Streaks
Dallas has won four of the past five regular-season matchups and have a lopsided 55-37-2 overall series advantage, including the playoffs.

Last week
The Bucs hung tough for a while, but could not keep up with the explosive Cowboys in a 34-21 loss. ... The Giants jumped ahead 17-0 and stymied a Washington comeback, winning 23-17, at home.

Keep your eye on ...
DeMarcus Ware wreaking havoc: The last time these two teams met, Ware had three sacks and was a terror to handle for the Giants' offensive line. If Ware is able to generate that kind of pass rush again this Sunday night, it could be a difficult outing for Manning and New York's offense.

The opening of Cowboys Stadium: Jerry Jones' palace for his football team made its debut in the preseason, but this is the first time a regular-season game will take place at the new building. Perhaps the foremost thing on fans' minds will be if any of the punters are able to hit the giant HD screens above the field with a kick. It happened during a preseason game against Tennessee.

Steve Smith evolving into a No. 1 receiver: Smith played like a top wideout in the Giants' Week 1 win over the Redskins and is being counted upon to play well every week. Given the injury to Hakeem Nicks that will keep the rookie out Sunday, Smith will take on an even larger role.

Did you know?
The Giants have won 47 road openers, the second-most in league history. ... In his last 20 games against divisional opponents, Osi Umenyiora has 17.5 sacks. ... Dallas has won seven in a row when CB Terence Newman has an interception.

Watch Philadelphia Eagles vs New York Giants Live Online



The Giants hope to make Donovan McNabb uncomfortable in the pocket.


Last meeting
Philadelphia handed rival New York its first home loss of the season by getting 203 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns from running back Brian Westbrook in Week 14.

Streaks
The Giants have won six of the past nine matchups and own an 81-68-2 overall series advantage, including the playoffs. See a breakdown of the last five meetings.

Last week
A visit to Minnesota was undaunting for the soaring Eagles as they won their wild-card battle with the Vikings, 26-14. ... The Giants reaped the benefits of a 12-4 season by getting a first-round bye.

Keep your eye on ...
McNabb on a mission: The main reason the Eagles have won five of their past six games is QB Donovan McNabb. In those five wins, McNabb has thrown 10 touchdowns with only two interceptions, while passing for an average of 243 yards per game.

New York's pass rush: The best way for the Giants to neutralize McNabb is to get pressure on him. When New York swept Philadelphia in 2007, it was largely due to its 15 sacks of McNabb. This year the teams split the season series, and the Giants were unable to take down McNabb a single time in either game.

Watch Arizona Cardinals vs Carolina Panthers Live Online

Cardinals hope to break East Coast jinx in rematch with Panthers


The Eastern time zone hasn't been very friendly to the Arizona Cardinals. The Carolina Panthers couldn't be more comfortable in their home just 200 miles from the Atlantic Ocean.

The Panthers look to improve to 9-0 at home by beating the Cardinals in Charlotte for the second time this season as the teams square off Saturday night for the chance to advance to the NFC championship game.

Carolina tied for the best regular-season record in the NFC at 12-4, thanks in large part to its first undefeated record at home since 1996. The Panthers won their eight games at Bank of America Stadium by an average of 15.4 points.

The Cardinals, meanwhile, went 0-5 in the East, losing to Washington, the New York Jets, Carolina, Philadelphia and New England by an average of 20.0 points. They are 2-20 in their last 22 games in the Eastern time zone.

The closest the Cardinals (10-7) came to a victory along the East Coast was their 27-23 loss to the Panthers on Oct. 26. Trailing 24-23 in the fourth quarter, Arizona drove to the Carolina 15-yard line before Kurt Warner's pass was intercepted by Pro Bowl linebacker Jon Beason. The Cardinals led 17-3 early in the third quarter of that game.

Warner threw for 381 yards, the most allowed by the Panthers until they gave up 386 to New Orleans' Drew Brees in their regular-season finale.

"We had good coverage, but those receivers are big and strong," Beason said of the Panthers' first meeting with the Cardinals.

Watch San Diego Chargers vs Pittsburgh Steelers Live Online

Steelers look to jump start offense as they host Chargers again

San Diego's defense stood tough when threatened by the Pittsburgh Steelers in November. That's the type of resiliency that has given the Chargers a rematch.

Another ineffective effort on offense for the Steelers isn't likely to be good enough this time against the streaking Chargers, who have advanced to this AFC divisional playoff game Sunday at Heinz Field even though LaDainian Tomlinson is ailing.

After a bye week, AFC North champion Pittsburgh (12-4) will face San Diego (9-8) for the first time since a game that embodied all of its ongoing concerns on offense.

The Steelers beat the Chargers 11-10 at Heinz Field on Nov. 16, but did not score a touchdown despite making three trips inside San Diego's 20-yard line. One drive ended when Mewelde Moore was dropped for a 1-yard loss on fourth-and-goal from inside the 1, and Pittsburgh repeatedly hurt itself with 13 penalties.

"We moved the ball, but we sputtered in the red zone," Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said. "We can't afford to do that. We can't turn the ball over. The big thing is we can drive up and down the field, but we have to be able to put the ball in when we get down there."

It was the first of three straight losses that appeared to do in San Diego's playoff hopes, but it won its last four games and took the AFC West title after beating Denver in the regular-season finale. The Chargers went on to upset Indianapolis 23-17 in overtime in a wild-card matchup last Saturday.

Watch Carolina Panthers vs New York Giants Live Online

Home-field advantage at stake for NFC powerhouses

Even Justin Tuck says his New York Giants aren't the best team in the NFC right now. They can reclaim that stature Sunday night, or the Carolina Panthers will prove it belongs to them.

Home-field advantage throughout the playoffs will be on the line as the stumbling Giants try to silence their doubters and potentially prevent the Panthers from even clinching a postseason berth.

Though both teams are 11-3 and could end the regular season with identical records regardless of Sunday's result, the one that wins will earn the tiebreaker and wrap up the No. 1 seed in the conference.

"We have a big game against Carolina this week, we all know it, we know what is at stake in it," Tuck said. "I really expect us to come out and not only try, but really right the ship because let's call it what it is, we haven't played well the last two games for whatever reason that may be and no one wants to go into the playoffs like we have the last two games."

While New York is on the verge of its first three-game losing streak since 2006 -- maybe still feeling the after-effects of the distraction caused by the Plaxico Burress case -- it's facing a Carolina team which has won three straight and seven of eight.

"My motto has always been, 'to be the best you have to beat the best,' and right now Carolina ... is probably the best team in the NFL," said Tuck, the defensive end recently named to his first Pro Bowl. "They look that good to me. We know we have our hands full, but we feel as though when we play Giants football we can handle anybody and that is what we have to get back to doing."

If they lose Sunday while Minnesota wins, the NFC East champions would need to beat the Vikings in Week 17 just to get a first-round bye.

The difference between winning and losing this week is just as great, if not more so, for Carolina.

While a victory keeps the Panthers at home throughout the playoffs, a loss could send them into Week 17 possibly needing a victory just to make the postseason. If Dallas, Tampa Bay and Atlanta all win their final two games, Carolina would miss the playoffs by losing its last two.

"The games do get better. That's the NFL," Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme said. "That's part of it. That's what you want. You live to play in these situations."

watch Atlanta Falcons vs Minnesota Vikings Live Online

Vikings look to clinch NFC North as they play host to Falcons

After a 1-3 start, the Minnesota Vikings are now one win away from clinching their first division title since 2000.

Standing in their way will be an upstart Atlanta Falcons team that has just as much motivation this weekend.

The Vikings host the Falcons on Sunday, looking to wrap up the NFC North with their fifth straight victory.

Minnesota (9-5) has overcame a slow start in which the offense averaged just 17.8 points in the first four games to take a one-game lead over Chicago in the division. While the Vikings' offense has been vastly improved, averaging 29.8 points in their last four contests, their defense has also been strong, holding opponents to 18.0 points.

With a win Sunday or a Bears' loss on Monday to Green Bay, Minnesota would clinch a playoff spot for the first time since 2004 and a division title for the first time since 2000.

"Coach wants us to go one game at a time, but of course we do think ahead a little bit," tight end Visanthe Shiancoe said. "But that is motivation. The thing is it's right there for the taking.

"These are teams that I feel we can really beat," he added. "I'm going to say something kind of outlandish, but if we play our A-game, I don't see any team in the NFL beating us, to be honest."

The Vikings have good reason to feel confident with Adrian Peterson -- the NFL's leading rusher -- on their side and a dominant 35-14 win over Arizona last Sunday to build on.

Watch San Diego Chargers vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Live Online

Chargers, Buccaneers look to stay in postseason conversation


Back-to-back defeats haven't helped the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' chances for postseason contention. The San Diego Chargers, meanwhile, have kept themselves in the mix behind consecutive victories.

As each team continues to battle for a playoff spot, the Buccaneers put their perfect home record on the line Sunday as they match up against a Chargers team that is riding a late-season surge for a second straight year.

Tampa Bay (9-5) was cruising toward the postseason entering Week 14, but has stumbled in its last two contests. After falling at Carolina on Dec. 8, the Buccaneers were slowed by a 13-10 overtime loss at Atlanta last Sunday that put the teams into a second-place tie in the NFC South, with both trailing Carolina by two games.

Still, Tampa Bay can clinch a playoff berth this weekend with a win over San Diego (6-8), a loss by Atlanta and a loss by either Dallas or Philadelphia.

The Chargers' postseason hopes were hampered by three straight losses at the end of November, but they've won both games this month, rallying for a 22-21 win at Kansas City last Sunday to improve to 12-0 in December contests since 2006.

To stay alive, second-place San Diego needs to beat Tampa Bay and hope AFC West-leading Denver falls to visiting Buffalo on Sunday.

Last season, the Chargers rode a six-game winning streak into the playoffs before falling to New England in the conference championship. But while coach Norv Turner is hopeful, he knows his team's quest this season is a bit more grueling.

"We've known it's going to be difficult, but the only control we have is getting ready to go play and play at the best level we can in Tampa," Turner told the Chargers' official Web site. "We're playing a very good football team that has a lot to play for. It'll be a real challenge for us."

Tampa Bay's defense is smarting after allowing big efforts on the ground in its last two contests. Carolina rushed for 299 yards in its 38-23 win on Dec. 8 before Atlanta amassed 175 yards on the ground last weekend against the Buccaneers.

Defensive tackles Chris Hovan and Jovan Haye both missed last week's loss with knee injuries, but are expected to be back Sunday. Defensive ends Gaines Adams and Greg White, however, are both battling injuries before this game.

Watch Miami Dolphins vs Kansas City Chiefs Live Online

Dolphins look to stay in AFC East title race with win over Chiefs


It didn't take long for Carl Peterson to build the Kansas City Chiefs into a winner.

The Miami Dolphins are finding their new regime to be just as efficient.

After a week in which Peterson -- one of the most successful executives in NFL history - decided to step down, the Dolphins continue their quest to make the playoffs in their first season under the leadership of Bill Parcells as they visit the Chiefs on Sunday.

Kansas City went 4-11 in two straight seasons before Peterson took over as general manager in 1989, but went 8-7-1 in his first year and went on to make six straight playoff appearances. Peterson, in his 20th year with the Chiefs (2-12), announced Monday he'd be stepping down at the end of the season.

Miami (9-5), meanwhile, went a league-worst 1-15 in 2007, then brought in Parcells to be the team's executive vice president of football operations. Parcells hired Tony Sparano to be the Dolphins' coach, and they're now in a three-way with the New York Jets and New England for first place in the AFC East.

By winning its final two games, Miami would clinch a playoff berth. Anything less, though, and the Dolphins may fall short.

"We have full control over what's going to happen," said Miami linebacker Joey Porter, who was named to the Pro Bowl on Tuesday. "It's exactly what you want. You don't want to be in a situation where you're hoping this team loses or that team loses to benefit you."

The Dolphins conclude the regular season on Dec. 28 with a road game against the Jets, who would win the division with victories in their final two games.

Miami has won three straight, sparked by a defense that was reeling following a 48-28 loss to New England on Nov. 23. Since then, though, the Dolphins have not allowed a touchdown.

In its last three games, Miami has allowed a total of 24 points -- eight field goals -- to beat St. Louis, Buffalo and San Francisco. The Dolphins' streak without allowing a TD is their longest since 1973, the last time they won the Super Bowl.

Miami is giving up 19.2 points per game after allowing 27.3 last year.

"They're learning how to communicate very well out there," Sparano said. "There are guys covering for one another. And they're becoming pretty resilient. They don't really get flustered a whole lot, even when somebody makes a big play against them."

There's no question the Dolphins' defense is greatly improved, but it has faced teams ranked in the bottom third in the league in yards per game over the past three weeks.

Watch Pittsburgh Steelers vs Tennessee Titans Live Online

AFC's top spot at stake as Titans host Steelers


The Pittsburgh Steelers guaranteed a first-round bye and home playoff game with a division-clinching road win in their last game.

With another victory away from Heinz Field this week, they likely won't have to play a road game again this season.

The AFC's No. 1 playoff seed will effectively be on the line Sunday in Nashville, where the injury-plagued Tennessee Titans can wrap up the conference's top spot or the Steelers can put themselves on the brink of doing the same with a sixth consecutive win.

It seemed like a foregone conclusion a month ago that the Titans (12-2) would host the AFC championship game on Dec. 18. Tennessee was undefeated through Week 11, had all but wrapped up the AFC South while allowing a league-low 13.1 points per game.

The Titans, though, have come back to the pack since they were routed 34-14 at LP Field by the New York Jets on Nov. 23. After blowout wins over Detroit and Cleveland, Tennessee's shortcomings were evident again last Sunday in Houston.

Pro Bowl receiver Andre Johnson torched the Titans' secondary for 207 yards and a touchdown, and Tennessee never found the end zone in a 13-12 loss.

To make matters worse, Pro Bowl defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth went down late with a sprained MCL that will keep him out until the playoffs.

"I think we were on vacation this week, knowing we got a bye and whatever other good stuff happened for us last week," linebacker Keith Bulluck said. "But I know as a team we need to ... come out and play football. Pittsburgh is playing for way more than us (on Sunday)."

Hours after Bulluck's post-game quote, it became apparent that both teams have the same goal. Trailing 9-6 with under four minutes to play in Baltimore on Sunday, Ben Roethlisberger led a 12-play, 93-yard drive that culminated in a controversial touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes.

The initial call was the ball didn't break the plane of the goal line, but after a lengthy review the decision was reversed, giving Pittsburgh a 13-9 win and the AFC North title.

With a win at Tennessee and another victory at home next weekend against the woeful Browns, who the Steelers (11-3) have beaten 10 straight times, coach Mike Tomlin's team will be the AFC's top seed.

"We would love to have that No. 1 spot, and try to get the easiest path there," said receiver Hines Ward. "But in the AFC, I don't think there is any easy way."

Neither team has particularly fond recent memories of being the conference's top seed. Tennessee was 13-3 in 2000 and had home-field throughout the playoffs, but lost its first game. Pittsburgh was the No. 1 seed in 1994, 2001 and 2004, but lost the conference championship game at home each time.

The last time the Steelers have won five in a row came in 2004 - Roethlisberger's rookie season - when they rattled off victories in their final 13 regular-season games. None of these wins have been easy, though. Pittsburgh has rallied each time, and was losing with less than three minutes remaining in three of the victories.

With an offense that's struggled to run the ball - the Steelers rank 23rd with 102.9 yards per game - it's been the NFL's top defense that's made Pittsburgh so formidable.

The Steelers lead the league in rush defense, pass defense and total defense, and could become the first team to finish No. 1 in all three categories since the 1991 Philadelphia Eagles. Led by Pro Bowlers James Harrison, James Farrior and Troy Polamalu, Pittsburgh also has the No. 1 scoring defense (13.7 ppg).

The Steelers haven't allowed 300 yards all season, and if they can hold Tennessee below that, they'll surpass the 1973 Los Angeles Rams for the longest streak to start a season since the NFL merger in 1970.

"We step up to challenges. We've faced a bunch of hot offenses and hot quarterbacks, and they take it personal," Tomlin said. "They respond to challenges. We have a unique group."

The Titans allow 14.1 ppg, right behind the Steelers, but with Haynesworth out and star defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch also sidelined until the playoffs, backups Jason Jones and Dave Ball will have to step up.

Tennessee has the AFC's top rushing attack with Chris Johnson, the conference's second-leading rusher, and LenDale White. But against a Pittsburgh defense that gives up 3.2 yards per carry, the pressure may fall onto quarterback Kerry Collins.

Collins has seemingly been a perfect fit for a team with a run-oriented offense and solid defense, but when he's had to make plays over the past few weeks, he's struggled. Collins has completed 51.8 percent of his passes with three interceptions in his last two games.

"Guys gotta help Kerry out there," tight end Bo Scaife said. "We have to catch balls and run the right routes, and we can't just put it on him, you know. We all have to do better."

If Pittsburgh needs additional incentive to avoid a potential trip back to Nashville for the AFC championship game, it just needs to look at its history there.

Since the franchise moved to Tennessee in 1997, the Titans have won six of seven at home against the Steelers. Pittsburgh's most recent visit came in the 2003 divisional playoffs, a 34-31 overtime loss.

Watch Arizona Cardinals vs New England Patriots live Online

Patriots look to stay in playoff hunt vs. Cardinals

Eight wins were enough for the Arizona Cardinals to secure their first division title in more than 30 years.

Eleven victories may leave the New England Patriots out of the playoffs altogether.

The Patriots will try to keep pace in the crowded AFC playoff chase on Sunday against Arizona, which will be looking for just its third win in its last 22 trips to the Eastern time zone.

New England (9-5) sits in a three-way tie atop the AFC East and still has a chance to go 11-5 without reigning NFL MVP Tom Brady, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in the first quarter of the team's opening game.

But even if the Patriots win their final two games, they could become the second team to miss the postseason at 11-5. The 1985 Denver Broncos didn't make the playoffs after posting that record.

In order to win the division, New England would have to win out and need the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins -- who face each other in Week 17 -- to each lose one of their final two games. The Patriots could also earn a wild-card berth if they win twice and Baltimore loses one of its last two.

"I'm not even thinking about it. I'm not sure exactly what all the scenarios are. It doesn't make any difference," New England coach Bill Belichick said. "There's a million things that can happen and the only thing we can control is how we prepare and play against Arizona."

The Patriots took care of business on their recent West Coast trip, edging Seattle 24-21 on Dec. 7 before spending the following week in San Jose to prepare for last Sunday's 49-26 drubbing of Oakland.

Against the Raiders, Matt Cassel threw for 218 yards and a career-high four touchdowns just six days after the death of his father, while the Patriots piled up 277 rushing yards - their most in a game since 1985. Sammy Morris led the way with 117 yards on the ground.

New England's recent victories have come despite a bevy of injuries. Aside from Brady, running back Laurence Maroney and safety Rodney Harrison, all of whom are on injured reserve, the Patriots are also playing without linebackers Adalius Thomas, Tedy Bruschi and Pierre Woods, prompting them to sign veterans Junior Seau and Rosevelt Colvin.

Left tackle Matt Light injured his shoulder against the Raiders and could miss Sunday's game.

"Everybody has to lean on each other because we knew once Tom, Hot Rod's (Harrison) and all the other injuries happened, that everybody else was going to be against us and we had to pull together and carry each other," second-year safety Brandon Meriweather said.

Meriweather, who forced a key fumble to clinch the win in Seattle, leads the team with four interceptions, while rookie linebacker Jerod Mayo is the leading tackler.

The youngsters and the rest of New England's patchwork defense should have a tough test against the Cardinals (8-6), who have already clinched the weak NFC West - their first division title since 1975. They will be making their first playoff appearance since 1998.

Arizona has succeeded thanks in part to the second-best passing offense in the NFL. Behind quarterback Kurt Warner and Pro Bowl receivers Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald, the Cardinals rack up 299.0 yards per game through the air.

"The quality of the whole group is really outstanding. It's hard to zero in on one guy," Belichick said. "They have a very diversified passing game, one that attacks all areas of the field, and it's very well executed."
