Ravens break nine game skid over Steelers
Sunday, December 30th, 2007
The Pittsburgh Steelers were not interested in gaining the No. 3 seed in the AFC playoffs, nor did they care about generating momentum for the post-season.
Their primary objective against the Baltimore Ravens was merely to keep several key starters healthy, a goal that was assured before the opening kickoff of Pittsburghs 27-21 loss Sunday.

Red hot Redskins clinch playoff spot
Sunday, December 30th, 2007
From disarray to dominance, the Washington Redskins will enter the playoffs as the hottest team in the NFC.
And with the hottest quarterback in the conference. And maybe the hottest running back. And with a defence coming off a game in which it allowed exactly 1 yard rushing. The Redskins reached the post-season Sunday with a 27-6 victory over the archrival Dallas Cowboys, capping an emotional renaissance to a season that appeared lost less than a month ago.
