The New York Jets had Peyton Manning and the Colts reeling on the ropes after taking a 17-3 lead with 2:11 left in the first half. And the Minnesota Vikings would play the Saints to a draw in regulation, forcing over-time.

Both number one seeded home teams would triumph thanks in part to their home stadium fan noise. Though there may have been some questionable calls that favored the Saints, it was more the turnover prone Vikings that contributed to their loss.

Only one will hoist the the Lombardi trophy high into the Miami skies and be proclaimed the Greatest of 2009. Only one will win the honor while the other ............................
