9 seconds on the clock. Green Bay should have plenty of time. 😛 ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > Looks like the NFL version of the Holiday Bowl. This is great stuff! > > I was wondering about the highest scoring playoff game myself. [This site says the highest scoring total is 113, from a Washington-New York Giants game on November 27, 1966.](http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_highest_scoring_NFL_game_ever) Washington won that game 72-41. Joe Buck just said this is the second highest scoring postseason game, and of course it’s unlikely they’ll break the record, but they’re not done yet. That wasn’t a post-season game, was it??? AND WE WIN THE TOSS!!! The NFL itself says the 1982 Chargers Dolphins game was the highest scoring playoff game in history. ---

Yeah, I read that one too fast. [NFL.com says this one will break the second if there is a TD:](http://www.nfl.com/superbowl/records/playoffs/team/scoring) 95 NFC first round: Philadelphia (58) vs. Detroit (37), 1995 ---

I missed most of the first half. Have there been any punts in this game? Or was it all scoring and turnovers? ---

Ah yes. Feels so nice to get what you want. ETA: The irony of a Defensive TD winning this is choice. ---

Sweet, like sugar! I love the fact that Rodgers himself kicked the ball up so the Cardinals could grab it! Funny! Delicious! ---

That was a very satisfying football-watching experience. It’s actually fun watching a good game with no particular rooting interest.
