I think San Fran and Cincy are both outmatched today, so I gotta go with Rams and Chiefs. But after last week, who knows.

Rams 27 Niners 20
Chiefs 34 Bengals 23

You're halfway there.

Phenomenal game! Gotta love the Bengals' grittiness. They never gave up. Their FG kicker has ice water running through his veins.

Yet another instance of an Andy Reid coached team shitting its pants and blowing a lead in a postseason game. Why did he not use one of his timeouts to try to ice the Bengals' FG kicker?

Mahomes' gamble with that bomb down field was stupid. KC was having its way with the Bengals" D-line much of the fourth quarter. No need to take a big gamble like that so early in OT.

Reid should have kicked a FG at the end of the half. Terrible clock management.

Still, who thought Cincy had a prayer when they were down 21-3? Not a soul on earth. The Bengals D was FANTASTIC 2nd half.

I gave the Bengals a slight chance only because of how Buffalo squandered its halftime lead a week ago (ironically, the Chiefs' opponent). That, and the fact Reid teams on a number of occasions have had mishaps in the playoffs.

I thought KC most likely was headed to an easy win, though.

I thought for sure KC had it in the bag. Glad I was wrong.

Now let's see if Stafford can pull it out.

Wife wanted Cincy to win. I was more like I just wanted KC to lose. Talk about a choke job in the 2nd half by KC.

Wanted Stafford ro win without a doubt. Just proves he wasn’t the problem, his inept coaches and teammates were

Sure didn't take long for Stafford to make it to the big game after leaving the Lions!

The Rams are loaded with talent, and Stafford played well but did make some mistakes. Going to L.A. was a no-brainer for Stafford. I'm somewhat happy he's getting a payoff after coping with years of incompetent coaching and drafting here in Detroit.

That said, I'd love to see the Bengals kick the Rams' asses. I also do not view Stafford as the MVP of the Rams. That would be Mr. Kupp. Aaron Donald is runner up.

The Niners sure crapped the bed in the fourth.

Detroit fans cheering for Stafford are... Special.

While it's true that the Lions are a shit organization, he had a good amount of talent around him at times and did nothing of significance.
