Football to me if about momentum.
If you are losing into the playoffs, can't be a good thing in that locker room.
How many times has a wild card been the ultimate champion? For the same reasons we cite.
If I were Indy, N.O., and Minnesota, I would be scratching my head trying to make sure a skid is not underway. I know Indy was more about Manning BUT up until he was pulled out, the Jets were still giving them a run for the money, with Indy in tact with all first squad on the field.

Hard to believe the Steelers still have a remote chance. True heart of a champion.
