Anything over 160 points would be impressive but Niners set the record of 131 points in just 3 post season games without the benefit of an OT. They averaged nearly 44 point per game.
In the past usually a team like the Chiefs were just playing at most 3 post season games so that is why the record is so relatively low. The extra team in the post season is inevitable over time going to lead to most post season records being broken.
With number 2 seeds having to play in wildcard round and now 7 teams in playoffs, it is inevitable that Niners record is going down either this year or very soon given recent trends in NFL. [Reply]
I don't believe that map. Mahomes has fans all over because how jaw dropping his plays are Burrow just got sacked 9 times. Bring pressure on Mahomes and he scrambles just to deliver a strike out of now where.
We got to defend Chase and I know Burrows has some other guys to throw to if he can't get Chase but he won't have time with Jones and Engram down his throat and the loudest stadium in the world his ears are going to bleed. [Reply]
Cincy is an easy team to root for right now but if they play their cards right with all of their cap room and with Burrow/Chase on rookie contracts in a few years, they may be disliked themselves.
What will be interesting is the map when/if Rams/Niners face the Chiefs. I doubt either of those teams are as liked as underdog Cincy. Niners may not have won a title recently but lots of people still dislike them based upon their previous success in 80's and 90's. [Reply]

Just realized Burrow has accomplished something Mahomes has never done.
Buffalo is arguably the second best team in the playoffs irrelevant of conference and if not 2nd best, they are no worse than third. They can't beat playoffs Chiefs in Arrowhead, why do people think Cincinnati will? [Reply]
The Chiefs D will make sure to keep the Bengals in the game.
Chiefs offense needs to replicate one of those long 7 minute Tom Brady like drives in the 4th quarter to keep a tired chiefs D off the field and to keep Burrow from thinking about any late game heroics. [Reply]
