KANSAS CITY, Mo. — They just won’t die.

The Patriots survived a wild, back-and-forth game to beat the Chiefs 37-31 in overtime in the AFC Championship at Arrowhead Stadium. The win puts them back in the Super Bowl for the third straight year and fourth time in five years where they will face the Rams in two weeks in Atlanta.

Caught the last part of the saints game; they got screwed by a blatant non call.

I’m not watching the SB. Screw the NFL.

“Once again, the NFL gives a reason not to watch its biggest game of the year.”

I don’t watch it all anymore, but I look at specific highlight plays on Youtube. The Ram’s kicker did a fine job of selling a fake punt.

I’m waiting for the girls to start play in April.

Also, awhile back there was some talk of other league(s) starting up in February, I believe.

Yeah.. Totally stupid rule. Basically, with two great offensive teams, this rule favors whoever wins the coin toss. Totally stupid.

There were two equally great offensive teams in the NFC Championship, and I don't hear people whining there. The rule is, a touchdown by the first offensive team, or a defensive touchdown by the first defensive team, it's game over. Same rule as in the regular season, so you can't even say that it's a special playoff-only deal.

If you want to complain, how about the Chiefs defense in the last 2 minutes of regulation and OT. The Patriots scored TDs on both of their last two possessions. One stop and the Chiefs are going to Atlanta instead of the golf course.

The Patriots are an anomaly

A mostly white team

But like Mahomes a lot

Great game

I told wifey that Brady would do what Brady does

Win in the clutch

Ahahaha!

With the officiating in both games, there was a lot of reaming going on.

The only thing they're talking about with regards to that game are the horrible refs.

I like Mahomes, too... but didn’t like the KC clowns who kept dancing in the endzone after a TD.

Did the NFL once again change the rule right before the game? I thought all year during the regular season that during overtime, both teams need to possess the ball (short of a TD being scored) before a winner can be decided?

The first game was a waste.

The second game was great.

Both my teams lost today but I like seeing Brady do what he does under pressure with his receivers

Yes, that was a BS call against KC as the defense was called for roughing the passer but his arm came in front of Brady it didn’t hit his helmet and Brady still had the ball so legal hit as well. NFL should allow a challenge of ANY play from now on. You still risk losing a timeout if the call stands so it wouldn’t be a replay on every play obviously.

Nope. The rules have been the same all year.

If that Chiefs’ player had not lined up offside, negating their late interception, the Chiefs would have won the game.

I’m not sure how a “pro” makes that kind of mistake!

If KC can keep their offensive players and beef up the defense a little, they might be very tough next year.

You’d think SOMEBODY could come up with a guy who could defend against Gronk: Height and some quickness - would not have to be particularly fast or strong.
