The first round of the NFL playoffs is in the books, and now teams will prepare for the divisional round next weekend.
Yesterday, the San Diego Chargers got the best of the Cincinnati Bengals in a 27-10 win. Aaron Dalton passed for 334 yards and a TD in the Chargers win, but it was running back Ronnie Brown who really impressed, with 77 yards and a TD of his own on 8 carries. From chilly Green Bay, Wisconsin, the Packers fell to Colin Kaepernick and the San Fransisco 49ers 20-23. Next Sunday, the 49ers will meet the Carolina Panthers, followed by the Chargers taking on the Denver Broncos.
On the NBA hardwood, King James was up to his usual tricks with 30 points with 12-18 shooting from the field as Miami dropped the Raptors. Interestingly enough, he opted for the Nike Zoom Soldier VII model. Golden State's David Lee had a big night as he led the Warriors to a road win over Washington. Meanwhile, the always unpredictable Nate Robinson broke out the latest Air Jordan Retro XII colorway as he powered Denver past the Lakers.
In college hoops, No. 20 Colorado dealt No. 10 Oregon somewhat of an upset, while No. 21 San Diego State defeated No. 16 Kansas. No. 4 Wisconsin was able to remain undefeated, extending their record to 15-0 with a win over No. 22 Iowa.
