despite improving his unit john marshall has been told he will not be needed as a defensive coordinator this coming season. well, this is the weekend some nfl fans consider the best of the season. two games each day between the best in the league. it was also a coming out party of sorts for green bay quarterback aaron rogers. the packers in atlanta for a rematch. the two teams played back in week twelve also in georgia a three point win by the falcons. packers had just tied this game at 7 in the second quarter as they kicked off to eric weams. one of the most dangerous return man in the league. he shows why. he is not touch on the way to a 102-yard return. that seems to take some of the steam out of the packers. not many souvenirs for the falcons. they tied it again. he powered into the end-zone. the atlanta offense then back to work before half time. looked like the falcons would get at least a field goal. but matt ryan's pass is picked off the end-zone by williams.
12:16 am
williams the guy who clinched green bay's win over philadelphia last week. with 2:20 to play he took the packers on an 60-yard drive. he threw to san jose state james jones. jones outjumps brent grimes. and 2 1:14 with 22 second left. they had enough time to move to the packer 26. but then disaster on the final play of the half. ryan throws an ill advised pass grabbed by williams. this time he can run 70 yards to the end-zone. they score 14 points in 42 seconds and take the 28-14 lead to the locker-room. it only got worse for the falcons in the second half. midway through the third rogers wants to pass and can't find a receiver so runs it in himself to make it 35-14. a career game for the former cal star who threw for three scores, 366 yards, ran for a score and had a quarterback rating of 136.8. the packers knockout the nfc's number one seed 48-21. two weeks ago the knock on
12:17 am
rogers was that he had never won a playoffs game. now he is headed to the nfc championship on the heals of probably his best game ever. >> yes, this probably was my best performance. i think you know at this stage that we are on and the importance of this game, it was a good night. >> today's afc game was the story of two halves. and yet another example of how turnovers can be the death of a team, especially in the playoffs. ray lewis and the baltimore ravens in pittsburgh. the battle between two teams who see plenty of each other. split their two regular season meetings this year. steelers took the early lead. the ravens tied the game when ray rice got a good run at the end-zone to make it 7-7. it is tied this time jim harbaugh says that's more like it. he got something from his defense. suggests knocks the live ball sitting there on the turf. with 21 players just standing there. the one who doesn't is cory --
12:18 am
redding. he doesn't hear a whistle scoops the ball up going 13 yards to the end-zone. the play was challenged but upheld. it was 14-7 baltimore. it would be 21-7. if joe flacko to todd heap. they headed to the locker-room up by two tds looking like they only had to keep from beating themselves. that's what they did. gave the steelers the short field twice on turnovers. the keith miller lob came after a fumble. and then rothsburger drilled one to heinz ward. that after flacko had been there and stepped into at the 32. two turnovers turned into touchdowns and 21 all tie as they headed into the fourth quarter. two teams traded field goals and still tied. antonio brown and web battled down field as rothsburger. brown goes out of bounds at the four. look at it again you can see that brown maintained possession by holding the ball against his helmet. jim harbaugh not happy with
12:19 am
that series of developments. mendenhall gets into the end- zone from two yards out 31-24. the ravens weren't finished. moved into steeler territory 4th and 18. flacko puts the ball right on the numbers to tj who drops it. the ball comes back to the steelers with 1:02 to play. there is nothing they could do as will steelers run off the clock. they move on to the afc championship game with a 31-24 win. they were down by 14. >> when you turn the ball over the way we did, a lot of teams usually give up and end up being a blow-out. but we stayed the course. we found a way to win. what better way than to beat baltimore. they keep asking for us. they keep asking for us. sometimes my mom always said be careful what you ask for. >> we didn't put them away. we didn't put them away. so we had nobody to blame but ourselves. it sucks. you can't say the referees took
