Wow that was gutsy....

I remember people severly criticizing Joe Burrow and then drafting Jamar Chase, now they are 1 game away from back to back Super Bowl appearances

Cincy blowing it late...

Kelce vs Kelce...

That penalty might have been the stupidest penalty in the post season. Bone headed doesn't even begin to describe it.

Goodbye Cincinnati!!!

So glad my prediction was wrong.

Definitely fixed to advance the chiefs. But, what do I care, I’m a Browns fan and don’t ever get to see my team in the playoffs. Heck, I’m 44 and the last time that the Browns played in the AFC Championship, I was 12. The last time that the Browns hosted the AFC Championship, I was 8.

Now that we have Deshaun, coupled with the fact that the NFL is image-conscious and can rig games, it’s getting clearer that I’ll be 70 before the Browns get to a superbowl!
Awesome!

Glad the Bengals are out but let's face it: Burrow and Company will be dominant for a number of years. I don't see how Kansas City stays in the game against this Philadelphia team. They are dominant on both sides of the ball. Some good story lines but I think the Eagles win.

It was something you would see from the Browns. LOL

For sure it looks like Philly wins... Mahommes has two weeks to get healthy, but I think Eagles are better team all around... we'll see... chiefs have the experience which helps...

I didn't watch the game. Can you elaborate, such as which team, what was the call etc?

Mahomes ran for a first down, out of bounds. 8 seconds in the clock. He was being angled out by a Bengal defender who shoved him well after he was out of bounds. 15 yard penalty moving the ball inside FG range.
Game.

THanks. I finally saw it on replay. Not a smart play by Ossai.

Philly vs KC is probably the NFL dream matchup. Should be a good game with a lot of storylines

Yes - for me the defining moment of the entire game and what I will remember (other than Kelce getting open despite so much attention). That one shove - out of bounds - literally cost the Bengals the opportunity of OT.

The Bengals had their chances. Had multiple possessions when it was tied at 20 and couldnt do it. Really good game. I felt like Mahomes willed it and the refs were pushing for that narrative as well.

Going live to the Mayor of Cincinnati....

SF @ Philly: It's a shame that the game became a farce because SF was left w/out a QB. That should have been a hard-fought game that went down to the wire. Instead, it was a blowout. I will say that trying to block Reddick w/a TE who isn't a good blocker was pretty stupid. SF should have went w/more Max Pass Pro. The only other thing I will say about the game is that the officiating was horrible and it definitely favored the Eagles.

Cinci @ KC: This was an excellent game. Mahomes was limited by the ankle. The Bengals OL struggled all day to protect Burrow. Thus, both teams were limited. I think both QBs played heroically. I thought the officiating was bad and favored KC. All those extra plays were mind-boggling, as were all the calls that negated big plays by the Bengals. The penalty on Osai for the Bengals was the right call, but sealed the game. I felt bad for the dude because he actually played an excellent game up until that fateful moment. Mahomes further cemented himself as one of the greatest QBs of all-time.

If that canceled play would have happened in Cinci there might have been another bottle gate.

Not if Sam Wyche was in the house!

Can you imagine the Kelcie brothers terrorizing the Heights back in the day? LOL, that had to be crazy!

When I saw #95 Chris Jones dominate and make plays thru double teams when it mattered to help his team win, I was reminded that our own #95 probably wouldn't have done the same sadly. I mean Myles might've got a sack on 2nd down or so, but then our D would've just given up a 3rd and long anyways.

Yeah, Jones straight up dominated when it counted. That was nice to see

That was hysterical.

Pretty sure that was in the highlights I saw on NFL network immediately after the game.
