Houston Mitchell’s two-minute drill

at Atlanta 31, Buffalo 3: T.O. reaches 1,000 receptions, complains he would have 2,000 if he ever had a decent quarterback. at Cincinnati 17, Kansas City 10: There is no appropriate witticism to make when a team makes the playoffs five days after burying a teammate. at Cleveland 23, Oakland 9: A confused Al Davis immediately begins devising a way to stop Jim Brown next season. at Green Bay 48, Seattle 10: How dramatic would a Green Bay-Minnesota playoff game be? The ads for it on TV would be endless. Houston 27, at Miami 20: There’s nothing more exciting than two 7-7 teams hooking up. You have to love parity. Carolina 41, at N.Y. Giants 9: The Giants’ finale at Giants Stadium was so bad that even Jimmy Hoffa walked out. at New England 35, Jacksonville 7: Only the Patriots could go 10-5 and have many people consider it an average season. Tampa Bay 20, at New Orleans 17 (OT): Hear that beeping sound? That’s the Saints backing into the playoffs. at Philadelphia 30, Denver 27: All the Broncos did was make the job of those who figure out the wild-card standings a lot harder. Thanks a lot. at Pittsburgh 23, Baltimore 20: Despite loss, Ravens still have tiebreaker advantage over Steelers, so Pittsburgh needs some help next week. at Arizona 31, St. Louis 10: Just imagine how good the Rams could be if they ever had a quarterback like Kurt Warner. at San Francisco 20, Detroit 6: Stay strong, Lions fans. With a couple of breaks here or there, your team could have been 4-11. N.Y. Jets 29, at Indianapolis 15: Pete Carroll congratulates Mark Sanchez after the game, asks if he’s interested in buying a used SUV. Dallas 17, at Washington 0: Jim Zorn never got a chance to use his new trick play: holding his breath until he turns blue. -- Houston Mitchell
