Joe Nedney Taketh Away, and Joe Nedney Giveth

On the second day of this millennium, (technically, the 1999 NFL season) the Seahawks needed the Raiders to beat the Chiefs to make the playoffs. And the Raiders did--their kicker, Joe Nedney, knocked in a 33-yard field goal in overtime to knock the Chiefs out of the playoffs.

Today, seven years later, the Chiefs needed the Niners to beat the Broncos to make the playoffs. And the Niners did--their kicker, that same Joe Nedney knocked in a 38-yarder in overtime to put the Chiefs in the playoffs.

In other NFL news, the Seahawks will host the Cowboys in the wild-card round of the playoffs on Saturday at 5pm. Tickets go on sale Tuesday at 10am. If you can play cornerback, please submit your resume to Seahawks HQ--both backup Kelly Herndon and his backup, Jimmy Williams, got hurt today and are likely out for next week's game.
