Packers Hold Off Eagles for 21-16 Win: Winning their first playoff game on the road in 12 years, the Green Bay Packers held off a last-minute drive by the Philadelphia Eagles for a 21-16 playoff victory Sunday. Driving to the Packers' 27 with 33 seconds left, Michael Vick threw a pass in the end zone to wide receiver Riley Cooper that was intercepted by cornerback Tramon Williams.

So...that Packer was not pushed into the punted ball?

He was pushed near the ball, then hit the ball as he was pushing back. Incredibly dumb move.

That game was pretty devoid of Jennings and Driver. I hope they're saving it up for Atlanta.

As a Seahawks fan I congratulate the Pack. I would much rather have Seattle face the Bears than the Falcons. If only because the Seahawks beat the Bears at Soldier earlier this year and that the Falcons soundly crushed the 'Hawks at Qwest.

The Packers are going to have their hands full with the Falcons if they play them the same way they played the Iggles. It seemed like a "just enough" effort.
