April 5: Steelers-Packers, Super Bowl XLV
3 p.m., FOX, FOX Deportes
Green Bay dominated most of the first half of Super Bowl XLV, jumping to a 21–3 lead before Pittsburgh cut it down to 21–10 just before halftime. Then after the teams exchanged touchdowns, the Steelers made the score 28–25 midway through the fourth quarter with wide receiver Mike Wallace’s 25-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and a two-point conversion. But the Packers answered with Mason Crosby’s 23-yard field goal with 2:07 remaining, and then prevented the Steelers from scoring on their final drive of the game.
April 9: Eagles at Giants (2010)
8 p.m. FS1, FOX Deportes
With 13 seconds left, DeSean Jackson never thought he’d get a chance to win the game. Matt Dodge was ordered by Giants coach Tom Coughlin to punt away from the Eagles’ elusive return man. The rookie punted straight to Jackson, who fumbled the ball before taking off on one of the greatest plays in NFL history — a breathtaking 65-yard punt return for the winning touchdown on the final play of the game.
April 12: Giants-Patriots, Super Bowl XLII
3 p.m., FOX, FOX Deportes
The New York Giants pulled off what is widely considered the greatest upset in Super Bowl history when they ruined the New England Patriots’ attempt at a perfect season.
April 16: Packers-Cowboys, 2017 Divisional
8 p.m., FS1, FOX Deportes
Aaron Rodgers threw a 36-yard pass to a toe-dragging Jared Cook on the sideline, and Mason Crosby kicked a 51-yard field goal on the next play as time expired, sending the Packers to the NFC Championship Game,
April 19: Broncos-Falcons, Super Bowl XXXIII
3 p.m. FOX, FOX Deportes
Aided by John Elway’s 80-yard touchdown pass to Rod Smith, Denver scored 17 consecutive points to build a 17–3 lead in the second quarter from which Atlanta could not recover.
April 23: Vikings at Saints, 2010 NFC Championship Game
8 p.m, FS1, FOX Deportes
The New Orleans Saints, a team with no home and an uncertain future five years ago, battered Brett Favre and beat the Minnesota Vikings 31-28, setting off celebrations on Bourbon Street that locals never could have imagined in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. (Interesting that the bosses at FOX would run this game against what will be the first round of the NFL Draft).

Desmond Howard was the MVP as the Packers jarred the Patriots.
April 30: Packers at Seahawks, 2015 NFC Championship Game
