Teams go in psyched out by KC at first. Pittsburgh not playing their game. Lucky fumble recovery too. Chiefs defense doesn't get out-schemed and gashed too much like other teams. Their D really has dictated their season the past two years and now the offense is getting guys back which sucks.

Pretty funny that one ref was right there watching the Worthy celebration just as closely as if he was watching if the ball crossed the goaline.

Dang these Chiefs. I was sure they wouldn't 3-peat but man they are getting more guys back at the perfect time.

I think Derrick Henry is going to have over 1700 yards rushing after today.. is that his best year ever? He's a huge reason why Lamar is having great success. Defenses can't just key on Jackson. But again, just because Lamar is having a better statistical season than either of his MVP years, doesn't mean he automatically gets it. You won't hear it publicly, but I do believe the voters want to spread the award around. And the fact that Jackson has won his 2nd MVP just last year, and the Ravens record is likely to be worse than Buffalo, Philly, Detroit and KC, I doubt he gets the award. For whatever reason, the TV sports shows are fawning over him lately especially after the NY Giants game. I think Lamar got more love for that performance vs a crappy team on the same day than Allen got for winning at #1 seed Detroit. If Josh gets passed over, I think it's going to Saquon or even Goff.

Ha yeah. I can already foresee the narrative after the game that if the Jets had only started Tyrod sooner, they’ve would’ve been in the playoff mix.

The voters know that. And it’s seared into their brains that Lamar has fizzled in the playoffs. You’re right they aren’t awarding Jackson 3 MVP’s to Mahomes’ 2 without having done anything in the playoffs. The award is going to be spread around. When Belichek was coaching the Pats all those years they could’ve given him the Coach of the Year award 10 times. But he only got it 3 times. I thought Allen played really conservative vs NE. didn’t take off and run much until it was too late to do anything. Seemed like he was under the weather to me. The few really good passes he threw were not handled cleanly by Shakir, Cooper and at least one by Kincaid. So if Josh wants to grab the MVP he can do it this Sunday with a solid Josh Allen performance. If he doesn’t care about MVP and wants to lollygag around and play conservative then maybe Saquon or Goff jumps over him. I really don’t see them handing Lamar a 3rd after gifting him the MVP last season w 29 TDs.

That sort of implies Beane has constructed a garbage roster which i don’t think is the case. But it will be better next season than it is this season imo.

I think the Bills will be sharper. McDermott was pissed on Sunday. I believe they will put together a nice game vs NY, get back to some offensive mojo and then it likely gets shut down at NE in the final game. If KC loses to Pittsburgh of course they will have to win the last two and they won’t mail in the NE game.

As of tonight on BetMGM the odds are: Josh -500 Lamar +350 Saquon +1400 Goff +2500 Mahomes +10000 Darnold +10000 Like others have said, still a sizeable gap between Allen and Lamar. He could eat into it vs Houston on Wednesday. Texans suffered some tough injuries and i think their LB that hit Trevor Lawrence still has to sit out this game, unfortunately. Allen should play better this week vs Jets. The Bills were sloppy and McDermott hates that. I think they will come out and play well, maintain the 2 game lead over Baltimore and that should do it. Let’s not choke this award away.

Yep, i’ve read other teams fan boards and media takes and there are many who say Lamar is worthy but the award needs to be spread around. I still think Allen should win on merit…doing more with less, 11 games of 30+ points, beating the best AFC and NFC team while putting up great numbers…and all the records and splash plays in prime time. The voters know they awarded Lamar a bit of a gift last season. Dak, Josh, CMC, Purdy, all could’ve won it.

My friend, who is a big Pats fans was bummed out at the result. Not because NE lost, but because he wanted the Bills to win 52-10 so Mayo would be fired. There’s a big faction of NE fans that want him out.

Everybody will fawn over Lamar having 40+ TDs. Hasn't Allen done that 4 straight years or five? Some in the social media world have moved off Allen due to recency bias. RG3 is one of them.

Yeah, I've thought that too. McDermott sounded awful in his presser Friday and still sounded sick after the game. I would not be surprised if Allen had something as well. He had that glazed look in his eyes standing on the field and sitting on the bench. The arm or thumb was bothering him. Some noticed even before the game he was clenching his right hand on the pre-game walk into the stadium. I feel like something is going on there more than a funny bone. He didn't take off and scramble much, he didn't look quick yesterday. Whatever was bothering him physically lets hope it's a one week thing.

Yes, Miami and Indy could also both win out against lesser teams. The fins will have to show they can win in cold weather twice in order to do it

Maye looked pretty good, certainly tailed off in the second half. If he starts burning the blitz, he won’t see it as much. I was expecting him to run more. I think he should figure out when to take off and get some easy first downs for the Pats.

I think Denver is going to beat Cincinnati, and i still think the Broncos will be highly motivated to beat KC as well.

KC is going to lose at Pittsburgh on Christmas day. Allen will be playing next Sunday and he will play well.

If Allen fails to win MVP i will always remember the red jerseys and blame them for costing him the hardware.

Ha, yeah i was saying that to my son during the game. The home uni is blue over white. it’s time tested. Stop getting cute, the red over white didn’t click. dump em.

Any win down the stretch may cost the Patriots draft choice Travis Hunter. I think some of their fans appreciate the hard fought game but an L

I remember all those drought years, and we’d go to Foxboro and play Brady tough, but there was always that part in the game the Bills would be flagged for DPI or even multiple times to change momentum. Different era but same nonsense.

Yeah we’re not dissecting interceptions at this point. it’s 12-3 vs 10-5 record, and all the ridiculous things Allen has done this season. He’s done more with less. As pedestrian as Josh was today, let’s face it, they likely lose if he’s not playing.

It was 9 degrees out that’s damn cold to be super effective. i’ll take the win and hope Allen gets week 18 off.

The chiefs won games like this 10 times this year and no one whines about it. 12-3 is pretty sick for this crew. Josh Allen, Cook and a bunch of guys.

bottom line, 12-3 is a better record than 10-5. 8 straight games 30+ points cannot be erased, 14 offensive records or whatever it’s been. I’m sorry but if they apply the same rules to Allen that they gave to Lamar last season the MVP favorite should still be Josh by a decent amount. Barkley is out imo. Hurts is the MVP of Philly or at least tied. We saw today as soon as he went out and Pickett came in the Eagles offense sputtered and they blew a nice lead and lost. RB is not an MVP position anymore.
