I don’t think I’ve ever seen this side to Peyton Manning before. The quarterback apparently had some miscommunication with his lineman about who should be calling the plays in the huddle. And you gotta give the man a little respect for getting up in his teammates’ faces like a quarterback should.

But at the same time, it’s a little hard to take him seriously when he’s his voice his squeaking like a 14-year-old boy during puberty.

Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys were one of the many teams upset this weekend in the second round of the NFL Playoffs. Since Romo couldn’t lead his team to the NFC Championship Game, he can now spend some more PDA filled evenings with his new sweetheart, Jessica Simpson. I wonder if her parents will tag along again.

Here are the players who helped out their team this weekend and some who didn’t:

New York Giants 24, Dallas Cowboys 17

• Eli Manning didn’t turn the ball over once and connected to Amani Toomer for two touchdown passes.

San Diego Chargers 28, Indianapolis Colts 24

• Philip Rivers tossed for three touchdowns despite a non-existent LaDainian Tomlinson, who left with a leg injury.
• Peyton Manning was his usual self with over 400-yards passing and four touchdowns, but it was his two interceptions in Charger territory that proved to be crucial.

New England Patriots 31, Jacksonville Jaguars 20

• Tom Brady only threw two incomplete passes, connecting on 26 passes and throwing three touchdowns.

Green Bay Packers 42, Seattle Seahawks 20

• Brett Favre and Ryan Grant each had three touchdowns, including 201 yards rushing for Grant.
• Seattle’s running game was pretty much non-existent, as Shaun Alexander led the Seahawks with 20-yards.

• Tony Romo passed for 302 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner to Jason Witten with under a minute in the game.
