It’s not all about the stars. The Bengals have a Hall of Fame QB, the best 1-2 WR combo in the league, and an All-Pro defensive end…and they’ve missed the playoffs two years in a row.
I think a lot of people see the Ravens as a tougher matchup for us than KC, and if we can beat the Ravens, then we should be able to win this one, even at Arrowhead. Simple as that...
Kansas City’s time is up, and they know it. The only thing that worries me a little is Mahomes’s ability to manufacture a bunch of “no one believes in us” outrage at being ignored in the MVP discussion…it’s the kind of thing Brady would have done to get an edge.
With his back to the pylon, I think Andrews also had to be worried about where he was on the field and not landing out of bounds before he got both feet down…that could be enough to distract him from fully concentrating on the football.
Yeah, it’s ridiculous to say their window is closed. All their key guys will be back. They will likely be the NFC Super Bowl favorite to start the season.
The national media reaction to this game makes me realize that even after we win the Super Bowl, a large percentage of these idiots will try to cheapen it any way they can…and they will fail.
