my football schedule

So we were watching the NFL playoffs today, and I was noticing that there are some similar-type team names. The husband and I actually managed to come up with the names of all the teams on our own - he knew there were 32 teams. When we were missing the last two, he came up with the Saints, and I ended up coming up with the last one - the Rams.

Here are the match-ups I came up with:

Tennessee Titans vs. New York Giants
TITANS/GIANTS - Obvious connection.

Seattle Seahawks vs. Philadelphia Eagles
SEAHAWKS/EAGLERS - Two prey birds.

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Washington Redskins
CHIEFS/REDSKINS - Obvious connection.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Carolina Panthers
JAGUARS/PANTHERS - Two big cats.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Minnesota Vikings
BUCCANEERS/VIKINGS - Ship-based marauders.

Atlanta Falcons vs. Baltimore Ravens
FALCONS/RAVENS - Two prey birds.

Indianapolis Colts vs. Denver Broncos
COLTS/BRONCOS - Two kinds of horses.

Green Bay Packers vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
PACKERS/STEELERS - Two blue-collar workers.

Detroit Lions vs. Cincinnati Bengals
LIONS/BENGALS - Two big cats.

St. Louis Rams vs. San Diego Chargers
RAMS/CHARGERS - Rams are known for charging.

San Francisco 49ers vs. Dallas Cowboys
49ERS/COWBOYS - Same kind of time period.

New Orleans Saints vs. Oakland Raiders
SAINTS/RAIDERS - Saints and sinners.

Cleveland Browns vs. Chicago Bears
BROWNS/BEARS - Lots of bears are brown.

Arizona Cardinals vs. Buffalo Bills
CARDINALS/BILLS - The bird has a bill.

New York Jets vs. Miami Dolphins
JETS/DOLPHINS - Jets fly through the air, Dolphins fly through the water.

New England Patriots vs. Houston Texans
PATRIOTS/TEXANS - No connection really, but they're the only ones left, and it would just be funny to see the Patriots kick the Texans' ass, especially since the Texans have the stupidest name ever.


The husband thought it would be fun to have the teams actually play and then see who is the final winner, but we don't have the John Madden game.
