6:01 pm on 18 January 2010

The New York Jets have upset the San Diego Chargers 17-14 in their American Football divisional play-off to earn an AFC Championship showdown with the Indianapolis Colts.

The Chargers lead the Jets 7-3 going into the final quarter of the game, but the Jets scored two touchdowns in the final stretch to put the game beyond reach for the Chargers.

Earlier today the Minnesota Vikings had a comfortable 34-3 win over the Dallas Cowboys in their divisional playoff, and will visit the New Orleans Saints for the NFC Championship match next week.

The AFC and NFC Championship winners will meet in the Super Bowl final in two weeks time.
