Chicago linebacker Brian Urlacher received four votes, followed by two Baltimore Ravens with one apiece, linebacker Ray Lewis and lineman Trevor Pryce. Urlacher won the award last year. While the Dolphins stumbled to their third losing season since 1969, the defense ranked fourth in the NFL, thanks largely to their No. 99. Taylor's |

| Giants (8-8) even belong here, the NFC would give the Tampa Bay Devil Rays hope. The Seahawks think they are an unusually lethal fourth seed. They seem to almost expect to be the first team from that position to reach the Super Bowl since the 2000 Baltimore Ravens. ``Just a feeling, I think,'' said quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, who has recovered from a sprained knee - but remains bothered by a bruised hand. ``It's just a feeling how we're starting to move in that direction,'' he said.

PITTSBURGH (AP) -The Pittsburgh Steelers supposedly had no chance of making the playoffs after they started 2-6, or so they were told for weeks and weeks. Actually, they did. A good one, too.
