* SAN FRANCISCO 20, LIONS 10: If the Lions really want to bug Joe Montana, they should yell across the line: “Hey! Aren’t you the guy who backs up Steve Young? Tough gig, huh?”
* NEW ORLEANS 21, NY JETS 6: The Saints sent their entire starting linebacker corps to the Pro Bowl. The whole set? Is that allowed?
* WASHING TON 28, LA RAIDERS 9: So this is what we’ve come to: The Skins have to pray to make the playoffs. Next thing you know, we’ll have a Democrat in the White House. . . .
* INDIANAPOLIS 20, CINCINNATI 16: . . . We DID?
* PITTSBURGH 10, CLEVELAND 7: The Steelers haven’t scored an offensive touchdown in two weeks. Great way to head into the playoffs.

* GREEN BAY 16, MINNESOTA 13: If the Packers make the playoffs with this one, we’ll really have to change the pronunciation of Brett Favre’s last name. I mean, regular season is one thing. But we’re talking national audience now. You know, “Hooked on Phonics” people.
* MIAMI 30, NEW ENGLAND 10: The Pats are in the chase for the No. 1 draft pick. If they get a chance at a game-winning field goal, they might point the kicker backward.
