- The Philadelphia Eagles win the NFC East. This is the Eagles fifth divisional title in the last six years. Simply put, the Eagles continue to own the NFC East.
- The New York Giants have earned the last NFC Wild Card spot. The Giants will face the Eagles in Philadelphia next Sunday at 4:30pm. You all know that the philadelphia fans are going to be ready, right?
- With the first selection in 2007 NFL Draft, the Oakland Raiders select Brady Quinn, quarterback from Notre Dame. Good luck, Mr. Quinn.
- The Detroit Lions, the worse organization in all of sports went to Dallas and defeated the Dallas Cowboys. The win prevented the Lions from earning the number 1 pick in the NFL Draft, and prevented the Cowboys from having any chance of winning the NFC East.
- The loss forces the Cowboys to play the Seattle Seahawks next wekeend. Tony Romo and company looks to be one and done this playoff season.

- The New York Jets won and clinched a Wild Card spot in the AFC playoffs.

- Is there now a full-blown quarterback controversy in Chicago?
- Even though Brett Favre is going to do his usual "Should I return or should I retire" off-season routine, does anyone really doubt that he will return for another season with the Green Bay Packers?
- Eight teams, or 25% of the entire league, finished with a record of 8-8. Parity, my friends, has finally arrived in the NFL.
