01/13/04 - Carolina vs St. Louis: Gregg Easterbrook of NFL.com and The NFL Network offered his Sweet (Defensive) Play of the Week from last weekend-- "Trailing 10-9, Les Mouflons faced second-and-3 on their 38-yard line with 50 seconds remaining in the first half. The Panthers called a three-man rush. Marshall Faulk cut-blocked Carolina DE Mike Rucker, diving at him low; Rucker responded by jumping on top of Faulk. Brilliant play! Why? Watch Rams film and you will note Faulk often cut-blocks a DE to get underneath him while selling pass-blocking, then jumps up to catch a screen pass. Rucker knew this, and simply sat on Faulk so he couldn't get up. Marc Bulger just stood there holding the ball, wondering where Faulk has disappeared to. Carolina ended up with a sack that effectively ended the first half -- although with Rucker seated atop Faulk, at that point the Panthers had only two gentlemen rushing against five offensive linemen." 01/11/04 - Green Bay vs Philadelphia: Packers RB Ahman Green and Eagles RB Correll Buckhalter started the game for their respective teams. Green finished with 156 yards rushing while Buckhalter gained only 12 yards on 9 carries.   A partial recap of this game will not allow those who didn't watch it to appropriately grasp how the Packers squandered away a chance at playing in the NFC Championship game... so here's the official game story 01/10/04 - Carolina vs St. Louis: After blowing an 11-point lead in the final 2:39, the Panthers beat the St. Louis Rams 29-23 in double overtime Saturday on Steve Smith's 69-yard touchdown reception.   Add the Panthers to that list of teams that think destiny is on their side.   "It had to happen," said safety Mike Minter, who had an interception. "I was on my knees. I was praying. I was like, `Come on, let's win.' This is supposed to be. It's supposed to be, after all this team has been through." (Philadelphia Inquirer) 01/10/04 - Rams CB Dejuan Groce did not play because of a hamstring injury. He was listed as questionable before the game. 01/10/04 - New England vs Tennessee: Russ Hochstein subbed in for Damien Woody who was banged-up. (Projo.com)
