The NFC was close to winning but, their efforts weren't as good as the AFC. The NFC scored 2 touchdowns back to back to tie it up at the fourth quarter. It was 28-28 but the game was winding down to its final seconds , and the AFC set Nate Kaeding for a field goal and the win.

that article is very wierd because i didn't think people did those things.

Computers changed the business industry in major way!. They've helped create an enviorment that makes our lives more easier , and more effiecent. For one , they help create ads for business on the rise by producing pop- ups on the web. They can also help by replacing humans in jobs that are much harder to do by hand. The fact that their size is constantly changing helps to do things while we are on the move.
