The quarter-by-quarter score for the Giants Redskins game is wrong; the giants scored a field goal and a touchdown in the first quarter.

[edit] Chiefs-Jets Wild Card score

Question about the wild-card score for this game:

====AFC: New York Jets 35, Kansas City Chiefs 15====

1 2 3 4 Total
Chiefs 6 0 0 9 15
Jets 7 14 7 7 35

at Giants Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey

Quarterback Pat Ryan led the Jets to the victory with 3 touchdown passes. The Chiefs scored first on a 67-yard drive capped by running back Jeff Smith. On their ensuing possession, the Jets faced fourth down and 6 on the Kansas City 33-yard line. Rather than attempt a long field goal, Ryan faked a handoff and rushed for a 24 yard gain. Two plays later, running back Freeman McNeil scored on a 4-yard rushing touchdown. In the second period, Ryan completed two touchdown pass: a 1-yarder to McNeil and an 11-yarder to wide receiver Al Toon. On the first play of the second half, Jets linebacker Kevin McArthur returned an interception 21 yards for a touchdown. Ryan later clinched the victory in the fourth period with a 6-yard touchdown pass to tight end Billy Griggs. The Chiefs' only scores in the second half was a blocked punt recovery in the end zone, and an intentional safety by the Jets.

McNeil finished the game with 135 rushing yards, 3 receptions for 16 yards, and 2 touchdowns.

    • KC - Lewis recovered blocked punt in end zone (kick failed) NYJ 28-12
    • NYJ - Griggs 6 pass from Ryan (Leahy kick) NYJ 35-12
    • KC - Safety, Jennings ran out of end zone NYJ 35-15

The way the score reads, if Chiefs kicker Nick Lowery missed BOTH PAT's, there is no way one could get 15 points in the way the score is currently presented (unless the edit made a mistake and Lowery made one of the PAT's). Anything else... WAVY 10 Fan (talk) 01:59, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Fixed, Lowery did make the PAT after Lewis' blocked punt return.[1] Zzyzx11 (Talk) 04:55, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
