Big stop

Hilton looks like he might be hurt bad

I want this one more than I wanted to beat KC. I suspect the players feel the same way.

Burrow looks really crisp in warmups.

The one seed may be on the line. Can’t drop games to Cleveland. Whatever’s causing the funk in this matchup must end today. It probably is as simple as Jonah getting over his weird Garrett yips and the defense not letting Chubb destroy them.

What better game than the one where we’re explicitly encouraged to boo the shit out of the opposing quarterback on every defensive down.

If I ever feel like making controversial, unpopular posts without risk of retribution, I will post from a burner Zone account named TJs_Granny

I’m sitting at a pizza joint and they’re replaying the Chiefs game. The orange jerseys look great on the broadcast.

It really is fortuitous that they had both P and LS battles in camp this year. There's no guarantee that most teams are going to have such convenient answers available for them when their LS gets hurt or their punter hits the wall.

You don’t even want to know about Baker Mayfield’s incident at the Arby’s in Heath.

Yep, and Wilcox made one nice play on offense against the Chiefs. Next Man Up continues.

Power rankings are stupid, but this still marks the first time I’ve ever seen #1 from any personality with a decent following outside this fanbase.

I want the 1 seed and I have a sneaking suspicion KC will open the door.

If that team continues to focus backwards on daddy, they absolutely won’t win out.

Good opportunity to glance at the Bucs, since we're headed down there in two weeks. They've been poo most of the season, but seem to be finding their way lately.

The Seahawks and Raiders may have enough offense to challenge them and make it interesting. If the Bengals win out they’re the 2-seed minimum, which likely means hosting the Jets.

Vegas might be anticipating a little let down energy. Nice opportunity to follow the sustained Chiefs streak with a snapped Browns unstreak.

Just remembered: Put that “Mahomes is undefeated in Nov/Dec” stuff to sleep. 26-1

Need to keep giving him touches when Mixon is back. Even split sounds good to me.

The Bengals handed away two red zone TDs (4th down and TB drop) against the Chiefs and beat them anyway.

Dude look at Joe’s face when he makes that throw. Zero expression, just a cold, flat, assassin.

Separate note: the Titans emerged from last week’s physical beating and got destroyed in Philly. Facing the Bengals takes a lot out of teams.

Broken

3rd and 11 legitimately almost made me cry in the stands. This franchise simply didn’t make those plays against top competition pre-Burrow, at least not in my lifetime.

Ossai’s sack and Pratt’s FF were both the timely plays of a championship team.
