The mighty Bills from Buffalo will take the AFC this year.
For two decades I watched people say the Patriots window was closed, that their time was dwindling, that it was all over… seemingly every time those predictions happened, the Patriots went and won another Super Bowl.
A lot of doom talk simply because we lost to the Bengals in the playoffs. Let us not forget that the Bills watched their brother DIE on the field just a few weeks prior. Their heart was simply not in it. If it had been, the Bills would have captured the AFC last year.
The Bills have won 2 of their last 3 in Arrowhead and they’re ready to make it 3 of the last 4.
How fragile are the Bills when White is hurt with an obvious ankle type injury and the entire team comes out to huddle around him like he’s laying there unconscious. [Reply]

Yes. It is.
And those of you who think holding a player in between the shoulder pads (breast plate) is legal, it is clear that you have never actually read the rule book.
NFL RULEBOOK
ARTICLE 3. ILLEGAL BLOCK BY OFFENSIVE PLAYER
It is a foul if an offensive blocker:
Use his hands or arms to materially restrict or alter the defender’s path or angle of pursuit. It is a foul regardless of whether the blocker’s hands are inside or outside the frame of the defender’s body.
This went on for nearly 5 seconds. Everyone outside of Chiefs fans know what it is. [Reply]

I'd guess they were hoping to get out of finishing the game, except they were comfortably ahead. They only quit when they're about to get their asses kicked. [Reply]

It’s tough to break that conditioning of wanting to quit at the slightest sign of adversity. [Reply]
Everyone outside of Chiefs kingdom knows that was a BS call. Especially considering the situation (bailing them out on 3rd and 20). Especially considering the flag wasn’t thrown until after the INT. And especially considering the refs kept their flag in their pocket for possibly the worst non-called o-line holding in NFL history just a few players before that.
This is false. The ref had the flag in his hand while the ball was in the air. Sorry if that doesn't fit your narrative. [Reply]
