The Chiefs have won their last six games by six points or less and are barely beating a terrible Falcons team. They aren’t exactly blowing teams out the way you would expect a 13-1 team to do. They seem ripe for a playoff upset.

Maybe, but hard to know how much of that is just a somewhat inevitable let-up once they knew they’re effectively the one seed. We’ve certainly seen the Pats struggle or underperform somewhat late in seasons and then turn it back on in the playoffs when the games “matter” again.
This is a several month trend. Their point differential is not what you’d expect to see out of a 15-1 team.
Meanwhile if the Bears win out I’d be nervous to face them in Round 1 given how good they’ve looked recently (I get that this week barely counts given it’s the Jags).
I have been a very loud Mitch over Foles proponent all season.
Mitch sucks like Foles, except that he can occasionally create with his legs. Foles is just a statue, hard to run with that D.
This is going to go Bears win Browns win. First half had Browns fans worried but they look like 12-4.
They have done this against the Lions, the Vikings, Houston, and Jacksonville. It's a great run but not against good teams.
Yeah, I get it, I just don’t know if “doing just enough each week to win” necessarily translates to “particularly vulnerable in playoffs.” I’ll agree that they aren’t nearly as much of a juggernaut as they might seem if you looked just at their record, but in my mind they’re still far and away the favorites to win the AFC.
In no vacuum. There is not a dusbuster situation.
Dez sucks and the Ravens are the absolute worst. There is nothing to cheer for there.
The Witching Hour: When (Falcons) wins become losses, and (their opponents') losses become wins.
The Browns are just not even trying to run the ball anymore. The Jets have a fearful foursome, I guess.
Cody Parkey has missed so many kicks, big and small. How is he still in the league on principle?
So Kelce makes a third down catch, there's an illegal block in the back on Hill, but the play stands and they march off 10 yards from the end of the play............what's that called, the Mahomes rule?
They marked it off from the spot of the foul, just like they do on every downfield illegal block in the back.
Given Mahomes' INT luck, I'm shocked that didn't bounce directly into Hill's hands.
Edit: There's no chance this can be overturned.
