Hope. Every Chief opponent has this. But it means nought for all but one. I still think the Steelers join the majority.

That shows Reid's brilliance really. When Mahomes is struggling he's still able to coach around it.

They do when it favours the Chiefs. Maybe he's starting to see it.

How many horseshoes does Mahomes have stuck up his backside? How much luck does he and the Chiefs need?

And if there's any threat, the refs step in to help out.

It's predictable and yet amazing at the same time. The refs help the Chiefs out and then an INT.

LOL of course. Just... can you make it a little less predictable refs?

How the heck did he catch that?

Doesn't help they don't even have Fields available.

The best defensive move on that drive was from a Chief.

The Chiefs are getting so bored they're now blocking each other.

And, of course, the Chiefs never hold.

Though the Steelers have already recovered one of their own fumbles tonight.

Netflix. Though I wouldn't bother.

Mind not even be a close ending. Maybe that will be less sickening than a blocked field goal or something like that.

Feels like very early to use a timeout, albeit it's first half rather than second.

I know it's Christmas but you're not expecting the Chiefs friends to throw flags against them, are you?

Ryans basically stated Jackson was MVP in his pre-game interview, hence the bracketed "Hi DeMeco".

They have nothing to lose so might as well go for it. But if the best Quarterback in the league (Hi, DeMeco) can't get anything out of him, I'm not sure what he's expecting from Stroud and co.

I don't like the idea of the starters being given a collective two week break. If the Chiefs and Texans win tonight I imagine they will still start for at least a half against the Jets and maybe a quarter at Foxboro, but with a game plan even more vanilla than we saw last weekend.

Thanks for that. I'll bookmark this for when he catches a last second Hail Mary for them against the Bills in the divisional round...

I did wonder whether Mahomes might miss out on the Pro Bowl this year. There's a viable argument for the starter and two reserves for the AFC to be Josh, Jackson and Burrow.

Get them to 3rd and 7+? Have you seen the Bills defense at 3rd and long? They'd be better off allowing them 3rd and 2.

That's the issue with being British - sometimes overlook the timezone difference. They could have the AFC North games at 1pm, as you say, then the play off match ups in the late slot? I agree, if the one seed is in play, then the games involving the Chiefs and Bills will be late Sunday.

On the basis all those with the better records win in the lead up to week 18, or the home side where the records are identical, which rarely happens (I mean, I think the Bengals will beat the Broncos)... Sunday Night Football has to be Vikings at Lions, in a winner takes the NFC North and the first seed. Nothing that happens elsewhere will have an impact on the game. Seahawks-Rams on Saturday night with the winner taking the NFC West. I'm not sure if that's a possibility should both win in week 17 or if the Rams claim the West on tiebreaker if they beat the Cardinals. Saints at Buccaneers as the early game? If the Bucs win, they would take the NFC South in this scenario. If not, it opens the door for the Falcons. The AFC play off battle (games involving Broncos, Colts and Dolphins) might get the 1pm Sunday slot, with the AFC North taking Sunday late.
