The Trojans were at their best in the clutch this weekend.
Heisman Worthy
Pete Carroll, Head Coach, Seahawks
Seattle was the only home team to win this past weekend despite being 11-point underdogs to the defending Super Bowl champions. What else can you say? Carroll is a master motivator and somehow he has made a 7-9 team believe that they belong on the NFL's biggest stage.
All-American Caliber
Mark Sanchez, QB, Jets - Struggled statistically (18/31 for 189 yards and 1 INT), but he came up with the game-winning drive to best Peyton Manning.
Clay Matthews, LB, Packers - His relentless effort resulted in a sack and an upset of Michael Vick and the Eagles.
Mike Williams, WR, Seahawks - 5 catches for 68 yards and a TD to propel Seattle to victory
Lofa Tatupu, LB, Seahawks - Another USC-Hawk who made an impact (4 tackles and a pass defended)
Mike Patterson, DT, Eagles - Season-high four tackles in a loss
Divisional Round Match-ups
Ravens at Steelers - DB Troy Polamalu (PIT)
Packers at Falcons - LB Clay Matthews (GB) and LT Sam Baker (ATL)
Seahawks at Bears - LB Lofa Tatupu (SEA), WR Mike Williams (SEA), TE Anthony McCoy (SEA)
Jets at Patriots - QB Mark Sanchez (NYJ), RB Joe McKnight (NYJ)
Polamalu's pick-six against the Ravens sent the Steelers to the '09 Super Bowl.
