PACKERS LOSE IN OT 51-46

In a game in which neither defense bothered to show up the Cardinals got a big play from there defense in OT to stun the Packers 51-16. The Packer's defense looked like swiss cheese the entire game, they couldn't stop anything. Also in the 1st half of the game the Packer offense struggled as well before turning it around in the 2nd half. The Packers trailed at one point in the 2nd half 31-10 before rallying to tie the game at 31. In the other NFL playoff game yesterday to Baltimore Ravens stunned the New England Patriots 33-14, I thought the Ravens could win but I didn't think they would blow out the Patriots. I almost forgot to tell you how cold it is this morning, it is a very cold 14.7 here in Colonial Heights this morning. MICKEY
