The NFL playoffs began today and the games dominated the Heinisch family televisions for the majority of the day. The first one was the closest with the Colts losing by a field goal to the Bills. As everyone liked both teams, it wasn't too disappointing. The game that most thought would be a nail biter was a bust as the Rams easily beat the Seahawks. It was the biggest upset of the day and the one that we paid attention to the least. The night game held the most interest to the football fans in our family. No one had been a Tampa Bay fan in previous years, but with Tom Brady as quarterback everyone was cheering them on this season. The game was closer than Doug or Cal would have liked, but in the end the Bucs won 31-23. Tomorrow will bring three more games to watch and the most anticipated one of the weekend as the Bears take on the New Orleans Saints. The sports media has spent a lot of time this year talking about Mitch Trubisky losing his starting role as quarterback to Nick Foles and then regaining the spot. That along with the rumor that this will be Drew Breese's last year has made for a much hyped up game. Doug fully expects the Saints to win, but we'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out.
