"When we lined up, the Dallas linemen were yelling at me, trying to distract me. Other teams always do that. Then, for a second, I remembered our practices and how Billy Ray Smith would holler at me, and I said to myself, 'This is only Billy Ray yelling.' I knew I was either going to win or lose the game for us. Some of the fellows came over to me and started talking. Tom Mitchell said, 'Don't worry about anything. Just kick it.' It felt good going off my foot. I knew it was good."
-Colts kicker Jim O'Brien

* Denotes Wildcard Team | Tiebreakers: Miami did not play Baltimore and Detroit did not play Minnesota in the divisional playoffs because, from 1970-1989, two teams from the same division could not meet prior to the conference championship game. Green Bay finished ahead of Chicago based on better divisional record (2-4 to Bears' 1-5).
