What a total joke. I started to watch it, cause I was rooting for the Bengals scenario where they advanced. I stopped watching in the first quarter.

Safe travels!

Dittos. I have a good friend who is the only Bengals fan I know, so I sort-of root for the Bengals on his behalf (if I otherwise don't care about the outcome of the Bengals games, which applies to most of the NFL....), and the first domino fell on Saturday with their win over the Steelers. And we (others in our Sunday School class) were chuckling at the idea of him having to root for the Chiefs to win, and two of the dominos indeed fell, but the Chiefs were a total no-show yesterday. I mean, are the backups ok on just a onesy-twosy basis? Otherwise, the Chiefies better hope all the starters stay healthy, based on what we saw yesterday.
And then the Falcons, handed gifts of opportunity to be in the playoffs the last few weeks, failed at every opportunity and will be starting their winter vacations early. Just dang.

We've had starters hurt most of the season, but when your leader on offense (Mahomes) AND defense (Chris Jones) are BOTH out, it's hard to get things to gel. And the Broncos have a GOOD defense and pass rush, so I wasn't entirely shocked. One thing about the Chiefs is we (usually) turn it on for the playoffs. Last year we had a pretty sketchy season, but as soon as the playoffs hit we were a different team. I won't be shocked if that's the case this year too.
