NFL Playoffs

[madducks]

Tennessee overcomes a 21-3 deficit to beat Kansas City 22-21.

If you missed the play below, it's worth a look. We will be seeing this play in highlight films for years to come. It's only the 2nd time in NFL history that a QB has thrown a TD to himself.

Chiefs are now 1-11 in their last 12 playoff games. Brutal.

Chiefs are now 1-11 in their last 12 playoff games. Brutal.

Chiefs have also lost their last 6 home playoff games. An NFL record. Ouch!

[Judge Jude]

the last Chiefs QB to win a game in Kansas City is....... Joe Montana

That Vikings-Saints game was insane!

That Vikings-Saints game was insane!

Saw only the last 45 secs or so. What a week of amazing football finishes. First Alabama and then this! U of MD alumnus Stefon Diggs (who was a RB in college) caught the amazing last pass. It's going to be a long off-season for the Saints' DB.

And with all that misery listed above, the New England Patriots have reached the AFC Championship Game for seven straight seasons.

Three of the final four clubs have not won a Super Bowl.

Oh, and the point spread in the NO-MIN game was MIN -5.5. But after the miraculous TD, MIN took a knee on the XP, winning by 5 pts. Here’s the reaction at a Vegas sports book:
