Had to be, or, holy shit.
I dunno. In the play-by-play - that play was called holding on #71. Flag was in the air before #71 had even touched someone on KC.

Intentionally thrown to stop the TN drive? Looks REALLY bad for the NFL.

There were supposedly multiple flags on that play. If so, bad job of ref announcing and replay.

This sucks, but the silver lining is Mahomes is going to get Paid in the off-season, and the Chiefs can't afford to keep the same level of talent around him at at that point.

Exactly. It’s gonna be much harder to keep their team together when Mahomes is making $35 million instead of $4 million.

And the clock strikes midnight on the Oilers.

You can take the Oilers out of Houston and call them whatever you want, but you can't take the Houston out of the Oilers.

Congrats to the Chefs for backing into your first trip to the Super Bowl in 50 years, it all started thanks to Bogers and that shitshow of a gift win vs the Patriots.

How stupid are the Bears drafting Trubisky over Mahomes?
It's worse than that. The Bears held the 3rd pick, and traded the 3rd, 67th, 111th and 2018 3rd to move up to 2nd to take Trubisky. Mahomes went 10th, and then the 67th pick turned out to be Alvin Kamara and the 2018 3rd ended up being 49ers star LB Fred Warner.

I hadn’t realized that KC hasn’t been to the Super Bowl in 50 years. It’s not like they’re a laughingstock perennial shitty franchise like the Lions or a team like that. It really makes me appreciate the 10 times in the last 23 years I got to watch the Patriots in it. It really is mind blowing how good they’ve been for a really long time.

This is really Rogers's make or break moment. 2010 is getting further and further in the rear-view. Is he a one-ring or multiple chips guy?

And SF wasn't going to take a QB according to many reports at the time. So they probably would have gotten Trubisky anyway.
