| Giant 21, Dallas 17 |
IRVING, Texas (AP) --Peyton Manning has a championship game to be at next weekend after all. He can go watch baby brother Eli guide the New York Giants.
A few hours after the reigning Super Bowl MVP lost his chance to get back to the big game, the less-heralded, often-criticized member of football's most famous family got the biggest victory of his career. Manning led the Giants past Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys 21-17 on Sunday and into the NFC title game.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- After handing New England a huge gift, the San Diego Chargers believe it's time to give the unbeaten Patriots something else: a challenge.
And, oh yeah, a loss.
By stunning Peyton Manning and the defending champion Colts 28-24 on Sunday, undermanned San Diego removed New England's biggest road block to the Super Bowl. Not that the Chargers are intimidated by facing the 17-0 Patriots in the AFC title game next weekend.
---GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Brett Favre spotted his favorite target all alone and let fly.
He hit Donald Driver, all right -- with a snowball.
Favre frolicked in the flurries the entire afternoon, throwing three touchdown passes as the Packers beat the Seahawks 42-20 Saturday to reach the NFC championship game.

Patriots 31, Jaguars 20
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- Tom Brady set another record and thinks he deserves one more award.
The dimple-chinned quarterback with the winning smile took the snap -- after faking as if the ball had gone directly to running back Kevin Faulk -- and threw the go-ahead touchdown pass in the Patriots' 31-20 win over the Jaguars on Saturday night.
