Donovan McNabb and Kurt Warner meet in the NFC title as two contrasting paths converge. McNabb blends mobility with growth in pocket poise while Warner’s unlikely ascent from Northern Iowa to MVP stardom drives the Rams.
The analysis highlights Donovan McNabb as a dangerous scrambler for Philadelphia with designed runs and quick middle passes. It notes Rams spy tactics against McNabb, mentions key matchups including Chad Lewis against Adam Archuleta, and contrasts Staley Buckhalter with Green Bay backs while detailing line battles and defensive pressure from Wistrom, Douglas, and Simon. It also reflects on Kurt Warner’s rise with the Rams and compares him to McNabb as leaders.
The Rams, led by offensive coordinator Martz since 1999, built a high scoring attack that propelled St. Louis to a Super Bowl title and a 15-2 season. Kurt Warner threw for 4,830 yards while Marshall Faulk earned AP Offensive Player of the Year honors. Martz mixes swagger with calculated fire, backing a dominant offense and inviting input from Warner while maintaining a relentless, jugular approach.
Tom Brady has led the Patriots to a late season rally for an overtime win as New England meets Pittsburgh. Key matchups include Brown against the Steelers secondary and tight end Wiggins as a likely third down threat with heavy blitzes anticipated.
Pittsburgh quarterback Kordell Stewart regains form after three off years with 14 TDs and 536 rushing yards. Jerome Bettis may be rusty returning from six weeks out, backed by Chris Fuamatu Ma afala and Amos Zereoue. New England relies on veteran defenders under Bill Belichick with a strong secondary led by Ty Law and Lawyer Milloy. Watch Otis Smith vs Ward or Burress as the key matchup.
In a contrast of rising stars, Tom Brady rose from a rookie to a steady quarterback while Kordell Stewart recovered to lead Pittsburgh to a 13-3 season. New England, with Drew Bledsoe hurt early and Brady thriving, won the division, and Pittsburgh benefited from Mularkey's return to early tape and Bettis’s running.
