San Francisco
Kansas City
Baltimore
Detroit (seriously?)

The TikTok crowd is rooting for the KC Swifts vs the Detroit Eminems.

I feel horrible for Buffalo. "Wide Right" is a legit curse for them. That was a great game though.

It was. Was weird how the game changed after that muffed fake punt. 5 straight TD drives (aside from the end of 1H kneel) to no more scoring.

Mayo declares Pats are ready to "burn some cash" in free agency.

If my prediction about him comes true, then he's speaking facts.

Very impressive stat line, but I'm very familiar with his performances. He was on my fantasy team in 22-23. Never again!!!

Last night was a good game with many great highlights, especially the fact that Brady-Gronk no longer have the post-season TD record.

Gronk on the in studio team (for NBC?) annoys the shit out of me.

Dude was a great football player, but I really never need to hear him talk.

Chiefs-Bills Game Sets Record As Most-Watched Divisional Playoff Game Ever, Surpassing 50 Million Viewers

Sunday’s game saw a 10% increase in viewership from last year’s comparable game between the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers, which had 45.7 million viewers.

The game was also the most-viewed program across all networks since last year’s Super Bowl between the Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Paramount data.

That's a lot of people. I bet Taylor Swift had something to do with that :) Also, being a great game between two great teams.

I was very excited that my family had gotten into football thanks to TSwift, but over the weekend I was reminded that they don't know shit. I still have to explain a lot of the rules, and I heard this gem: "I hope the Lions win and play the Chiefs. Then we can probably go to Detroit for the Super Bowl."

Honey, that's not how this works...

Well, technically, you CAN go to Detroit for the super bowl. It just won't be there with you. Just sayin'.

Even if it was in Detroit, who thinks they can roll up on Game Day...for the fucking Super Bowl...and just get tickets.

Of course, my wife is their ringleader, and she was shocked by the "93 of the top 100 broadcasts last year were NFL games". This is a woman whose viewing habits are housewives, dance moms, and the like. She is sooooooooo not a sports person, so I'm thrilled with the baby steps she's taken.

My kids aren't into football either, but I got to watch a bit of the KC game with our youngest because she's a Tay Tay fan.

Only if you find the scalpers. That game is sold out way ahead of time.

I cannot imagine what scalpers get for those tickets. I know what scalpers get for OSU tickets even when they're playing nobodies and it's not cheap.

Depends on who's playing. And where. I tried the Super Bowl lottery a couple of times, but never won.
