Well...KC wont be losing both starting tackles. They had to shuffle the O-line last second...
NFL Network will never mention this...or that "Ice in his Veins" Burrow couldn't score a TD at the end..in like 7 tries...even with an obvious false start no call. Amazing the refs could see everything else...but those FS are tricky to notice even when the Chiefs players are pointing at them.
The NFL was so impressed by that sterling job...they appointed them the SB. [Reply]

I still think KC defense should have allowed them to score the TD with 80+ seconds left. The goal line stand only helped Cincy run out the clock. Give Mahomes 80+ seconds and some timeouts. He probably makes something happen. [Reply]

The fact they could still get a 1st down on the one yard line is what sent that whole sequence in motion...it was a rare situation even without the disproportional amount of flags.
It's hard to believe that the officiating crew from that game...one where both Reid and Burrow mentioned in their pressers...was awarded the SB.
That was god awful...Ive never seen an opposing QB call out the refs that just aided in him winning. It's the main reason I like Burrow...I respected his honesty.
I thought these officials were graded on a game to game performance...the DPI was a terrible, game altering call..as was the obvious FS. The FS isn't even a subjective call...either you moved or you didnt.
So obviously this grading system is full of shit...that crew should be nowhere near a SB...but Cheffers should be banned indefinitely...and he got the Rams.
The officiating in that NFCCG game...should be interesting. [Reply]
No way a they let SF knock the Rams from a home SB in LA. They want LA to work not be embarrassed by tiny SF. Not this early into their existence. [Reply]

Trey Lance may well end up being a really good QB, but it’s kind of crazy that they could’ve had Parsons or Chase.
Parsons added to that defense would be pretty crazy. [Reply]

Niners were dumb to trade up so far like they did in the draft. Mac Jones wasn't that highly regarded and neither was Trey Lance. Neither of them were going in the top 5. [Reply]

I’m hesitant to say drafting Lance was the wrong move until we actually see him play. Plenty of people criticized the Mahomes pick during his “redshirt” year.
As of now though, Parsons or Chase on that roster might be enough to get them to the Super Bowl. Looks like the wrong move right now. [Reply]

The Bengals’ right side of the offensive line is a major liability for them no matter what.
Their second-year offensive lineman Hakeem Adeniji has allowed a 7.1% pressure rate (69th out of 84 qualifying guards since week nine) and their right tackle Isaiah Prince has allowed pressure on 8.9% of his pass-blocking assignments. This is all according to PFF who also rank the right side of Cincinnati’s offensive line in the bottom five of almost every major category.
Mixon’s role in the passing game has been on the rise, he’s collected at least five targets in each of his past four games and secured at least 28 receiving yards in each of them (40-plus in three of the four). Kansas City’s pass defense against running backs has ranked poorly all year but over the past three weeks specifically, so the defense needs to step up drastically.

Since Mahomes became the starter four seasons ago (8-1). His .800 win percentage in the playoffs is impressive and is also a great predictor for future success but it also ranks second amongst quarterbacks that have started at least 10 postseasons (Bart Starr – .900 WP%).
And Mahomes’ eight playoff victories is already tied for 22nd all-time and is fifth-most among active passers; Tom Brady leads that pack with 35 total victories in the postseason and is distantly followed by Aaron Rodgers (12), Joe Flacco (10), and Russell Wilson (nine).

So he has a chance to tie Wilson tomorrow. That’s pretty cool. [Reply]
Some records could be tied, broken, or closed-in on during this upcoming AFC Championship match for the Chiefs.
With another touchdown reception Sunday Kelce would have 12 total postseason receiving touchdowns which would tie Hall of Fame wide receiver John Stallworth for third-most behind Rob Gronkowski (15) and Jerry Rice (22).
With three receptions in Sunday’s game Kelce will also move past Gronkowski (98) for third-most postseason receptions by any receiver or tight end behind only Rice (151) and Julian Edelman (118).
Edge-rusher Frank Clark is currently fifth all-time in postseason sacks (11) tied with the likes of Dwight Freeney, James Harrison and Clay Matthews. With one more sack Clark would tie hall of famer Reggie White (12) and with one-and-a-half more sacks he’ll tie former Chief and Ravens legend Terrell Suggs (12.5).
If the Chiefs score two touchdowns they will surpass the Buffalo Bills for sixth-most total TDs in the AFC championship game (16) while playing in one less AFC title game. This would also propel them over the Washington Football Team (16) for 8th-most touchdowns in any conference championship game all-time.
Win-or-lose this will be Andy Reid’s fourth-straight time hosting the conference championship game, breaking his own record from the 2002-04 seasons when he led the Philadelphia Eagles to three-straight conference title games at home.
With a win on Sunday Reid would also tie Hall of Fame head coach Tom Landry with 20 postseason wins, trailing only Bill Belichick (31) for most all-time.
Kelce has a chance to break his own record for most catches in a conference championship game (13) which he set in last year’s AFC Championship game against Buffalo.
Tyreek Hill, who currently sits at 1,003 postseason receiving yards, could surpass players like Anquan Boldin (1,057), Art Monk (1,062), and Drew Pearson (1,105) on his way up the leaderboard in most postseason receiving yards. Meanwhile, Kelce sits at eighth-most on the same list with 1,196 receiving yards and could move past Andre Reed (1,229), Reggie Wayne (1,254), or Cliff Branch (1,289) if he has a game similar to his past two games (102 receiving yards per game).
Mahomes currently sits at 18th all-time in postseason completions (254). So with “the Grim Reaper” averaging 25.4 completions per game he could hurdle players like Warren Moon (259), Terry Bradshaw (261), and Russell Wilson (275) on that list.
With a win on Sunday the Chiefs would become just the fourth team in NFL history to make three consecutive Super Bowls. The Miami Dolphins (1971-73) and New England Patriots (2016-18) both reached three straight while the Bills (1990-93) made four straight.
Also with a win on Sunday the Chiefs would break their tie with Seattle and Tennessee for most postseason wins (17) and sit at 15th all-time behind the Miami Dolphins (20).
If the Bengals (2-0) were to win Sunday they would remain with the New York Giants (5-0) as the only NFL teams to never lose an AFC or NFC championship game. The next best win percentage is Washington who has gone 5-1 (.833) in the NFC title game.
