Fire alarms, B-stings and bad dancing highlight the NFL Championship Sunday Recap.
Steelers 17 Patriots 36
After all the fire alarm shenanigans, Tom Brady set fire to the Steelers’ defense by throwing for a career-postseason high 384 yards and 3 touchdowns (he’s an incredible 5-0 at home against the Steelers’ all-time with 18 TDs and no picks) and Pittsburgh’s Killer B’s flamed out. Credit the Patriots defense for that; the Pats are 6-0 against teams with Pro Bowl “triplets.” It’s gonna be really fun watching Roger Goodell sheepishly hand the real Killer B’s — Brady and Belichick — their fifth Super Bowl trophy.

Packers 21 Falcons 44
Whether it was the lack of sleep, an epic rash of injuries or the Georgia Dome noise, Green Bay played so badly they got trolled by a video game. What a rough way to see a great 8-game win streak end.
Conversely, Matty Ice closed his case for MVP: Matt Ryan’s 392 passing yards were the second-most in NFC Championship Game history and he’s just the fourth player to throw for 4 TDs in a conference title game. No matter what happens in the Super Bowl, nobody can call Matt Ryan a “soft soul” — or Arthur Blank a dancer.
