They had an early lead and turtled to the end. It wasn’t a shootout by any means.
I think I just fundamentally disagree with the building strategies of these teams. You are paying these superstar QB’s a giant chunk of your cap, because teams rightly know they are so important, then they cut corners on the offense around them.
I get that defense is important, particularly forcing TO’s, but the Chiefs won it all last year because of their unstoppable offense in the SB. The Bengals almost won because of their star studded offensive cast.
I used to disagree because of Brady and how he always did more with less from a personnel, but now I wonder.
