Pete Carroll, Mike Williams, Mark Sanchez and Clay Matthews were the big winners over wild card weekend.

Coach Carroll shocked the world with a 41-36 victory over the defending Super Bowl Champs. Mike Williams had 5 receptions for 68 yards and scored on a 38 yard TD pass that helped put the game out of reach. Williams said after the game:

“I assume people are going to say it was more about what the Saints didn’t do and not what we did, or that the Saints lost the game, not us winning it. Whatever is said it doesn’t matter. What matters is the direction our team is in and the focus the guys have in the locker room.”

The Seahawks next game is at Chicago on Sunday at 10 pm (PT).

Mark Sanchez and the Jets traveled to Indy and defeated the Colts 17-16 on a last second field goal. Sanchez was inconsistent in the first half overthrowing his receivers but settled down when it matter most in the last minutes of the game. Here is an excerpt from Peter King’s Monday Morning QB on Sanchez calling the last offensive play of the game:

Mark Sanchez got the Jets to the Colt 34, just in Folk’s range (Folk’s long enough from 55, but you have no idea if he’ll make it) for the winner. And for some reason we still can’t figure out, Jim Caldwell used Indy’s last timeout here. Incredible call — New York had but one timeout left, and would have had to burn it to stop the clock before Folk’s field goal try. But here came Caldwell, throwing the Jets a lifeline and giving them time to talk it over. On the sidelines, Sanchez told offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer that instead of playing it safe with a LaDainian Tomlinson run up the gut or a short, safe curl to Dustin Keller, he wanted to throw it up the right side to Braylon Edwards. Either he’d hit Edwards or he’d throw it so the corner couldn’t pick it off. “The kid made the call,” Rex Ryan said. And a perfect throw — 18 yards to the Colt 14. Folk’s 32-yard winner was a little close for comfort, inside the right upright, but the Jets went home happy. As did the guys at the other end of the bar.

The Jets next opponent is the Patriots on Sunday at 1:30 (PT)
