An ode to the NFL RedZone channel
The NFL RedZone channel is offered by various cable and satellite providers, and if you have not checked it out
ers, and if you have not checked it out yet, I highly recommend it. The NFL Red-Zone channel is a mind-boggling experience that is self-described as "the future of watching football."
On the average Sunday, most football fans can watch anywhere from three-to-five different football games over the course of the day, but the NFL RedZone channel gives you the ability to see the big plays from every single game.
The main concept that started the NFL RedZone channel was to show every touchdown from every game on one channel. This is done by switching coverage to the games that are currently inside the red zone, so that fans can see every scoring play. The concept works flawlessly, giving essentially an entire afternoon of nothing but the highlights

of games. Highlights might be boring for a fan that wants to enjoy a game in its entirety, so the channel singles out one or two close games to show in near entirely while red zone drives are not being made in other games.
Another bonus of the NFL RedZone channel is that you will never see a single commercial during the six hours of binge-watching football. This is the saving grace, because no one wants to watch commercials when you could see the big play happening in an out-of-market game.
The bread and butter though of the NFL RedZone channel comes with its ability to show multiple games... at the same time. With its multiple-box format, the NFL Red-
Zone channel can show the Packers game-winning drive at the same time as the onside kick is going on in Philadelphia. And if the Patriots are making a comeback, the network enables you to watch all three games at once! I find the NFL Red-Zone channel to be a gift from above on Sundays, because it allows me to keep up with all of my fantasy
easy to view way.
Overall, the NFL Red-
Zone Channel is the ul-
timate football viewing
experience, and every fan
should give it a chance. I
promise that you will not regret it, and you will never want to go back to watching one football game at a time. Technology is beautiful, especially when it gives you the ability to view more football in one day than you ever thought possible. Hurry now, you've only got three weeks left to change your football viewing life!

Ravens rally past Vikings for close victory on frozen field
NFL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BALTIMORE — At first, it appeared the unrelenting snow would be the main topic of conversation. Then came an incredible flurry of touchdowns — five over the final 125 seconds — that truly made this a one-of-a-kind, unforgettable football game.
After Joe Flacco threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to rookie Marlon Brown with four seconds left to give the Baltimore Ravens a 29-26 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, the Ravens couldn't contain their excitement.
Before that:
"Do you believe in miracles?" cornerback Jimmy Smith shouted as he ran off the field.
And lacoby jones, who took a kickoff back 77 yards for a touchdown during the back-and-forth excitement, said, "You couldn't even get emotional. It was too confusing."
Brown's catch concluded a five-play, 80-yard drive that took only 41 seconds.
What just happened?" Ravens kicker Justin Tucker exclaimed. The game featured six different lead changes in the fourth quarter. That is the most fourth-quarter lead changes in a single game in NFL history.
Dennis Pitta, in his season debut following a hip injury, caught a 1-yard, fourth-down pass from Flacco for a 15-12 lead with 2:05 remaining.
—Toby Gerhart, subbing for an injured Adrian Peterson, ran 41 yards to put Minnesota up 19-15 with 1:27 to go.
Jones went the distance with the ensuing kickoff to give Baltimore a 22-19 edge with 1:16 left.
— Matt Cassel threw a 79-yard touchdown pass to Cordarelle Patterson with 45 seconds to play.
Then the Ravens (7-6) answered with one final salvo.
"I've never seen a game like that before," Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs said. "Besides the Super Bowl, that's probably the most special win I've been a part of. Crazy game."
Baltimore (7-6) has its first threegame winning streak of the season and the inside track for the second AFC wild card.
Minnesota (3-9-1) lost Peterson in the second quarter with an
ankle injury, then dropped a game it appeared to have won. Twice.
"There were so many momentum shifts in the last couple of minutes, it seemed like the game would never end," Cassel said.
Peterson, the NFL's leading rusher and 2012 MVP, hurt his right foot in the second quarter after catching a short pass and being tackled near the sideline by linebacker Arthur Brown.
"We did X-rays, and it came back pretty clear," said Peterson, who finished with 13 yards on seven carries. "The next step is to get an MRI done (Monday) and find out more."
Gerhart gained 89 yards on 15 attempts. Cassel went 17 for 28 yards for 265 yards.
Flacco completed 28 of 50 passes for 245 yards and three interceptions.
"It was unlikely that we win this game today," he said, "but we did." The Vikings took their first lead when Cassel threw an 8-yard pass to Jerome Simpson after an interception by safety Andrew Sendrie.
"You think you've seen everything and then a game like this happens," Tucker said. "To sum it up in one word, it was pandemonium."
