Alphabet Soup

From a funny ESPN column about the weekend games (a sample):

NFC
Knock the NFC if you want to, but the conference posted two playoff wins this weekend. I didn't think it would get that many.

Oxygen
Jeremy Shockey was shown taking oxygen several times during the Giants-Eagles game. So apparently he does, in fact, take in oxygen and -- presumably -- some must make its way to his brain. Who knew?

Playbook
Winning in the postseason forces teams to go deep into their playbooks so they can give opponents different looks. The Eagles did the best job of this in the wild-card round, somehow finding some plays never-before-seen in Philadelphia in which the quarterback takes the snap and, instead of passing the ball, turns and hands it to a running back. Weird.
