    I don't really see Lions knocking the Chiefs off. Give me 49ers this game.

    Goes to show you need a QB to win. Reid was already great but needed the right QB.

    Reid is probably better at coaching than Belichick. Won a lot of games with multiple guys (Mcnabb, Vick, Alex Smith) Meanwhile Belichick cant win a playoff game without Brady.

    Hes clearly better than Belichick. Won everywhere and with anyone, now has the QB to rack up the rings with.

    I didn't mind the Rams v Bengals SB but other than that there hasn't been a SB I wanted to watch since Saints vs Colts in 2010

    I agree but the Ravens are also a good team and they got jobbed on a couple calls.

    It's baked into the cake when you're playing the Chiefs. Been that way all year. Jets fans should know that better than most fanbases.

    The Ravens offensive game plan is one of the worst game plans I’ve ever seen in the playoffs. Keep throwing deep against a heavy blitzing man team with good corners and only one good receiver? They should’ve fed Likely and Andrews all day against the run stopping linebackers and ran off tackle against the pass rushing edge players.

    Really remarkably bad. Maybe Harbaugh should’ve focused more on that than making sure they play the Michigan fight song on first downs for his brother.

    The game never felt close. I think the Chiefs would have responded if Baltimore had actually scored that TD.

    Chiefs just on another level. Ravens got dominated. The score doesn't say it but the Ravens had no chance.

    Someone has to tell Lamar he can't hold the ball that long. Looked like Zach Wilson out there.

    That’s the thing. Lamar can hold onto the ball that long but he needs to run when he holds onto it that long and he didn’t. He also didn’t get blitzed all that much and I think it confused him. He should’ve ran for 200 yards today.

    Ravens obviously also a good team, but Chiefs definitely "been there done that" when it comes to the playoffs last 5 years, unlike Baltimore.

    Me thinks pressure got to Ravens some. They pressed a bit in the 1st half and after finding some momentum in the second half, once Flowers fumbled at the 1, they crumbled.

    Which calls do you think Ravens got "jobbed" on?

    Yep, it seems like he is just another guy that is underwhelming in the playoffs.

    Big time. Pulled a Jets by coming out flat, and then, ya know, Jetted the rest of the way with bone-breaking penalties.

    I'm trying to look on the bright side. I don't have to hear Ray Lewis invoking the Lord Jesus.

    Am I the only one who has difficulty taking Greg Olsen for more than 10 seconds? I dunno, everybody pretty much sucks.

    All complaints about announcers are your own fault for being too dense to use the mute function...

    There were a couple holdings down the field that should’ve been called on the Chiefs that weren’t. There was 1x offensive holding the Chiefs got jobbed on. I think if the game was reversed the Chiefs get those holding calls.

    There was also the nonsense roughing the passer call on Clowney down the stretch and I think if Kelce spikes the ball he doesn’t get called for taunting like Zay Flowers did.

    Why? I like Greg Olsen. He’s knowledgeable and calls it down the middle IMO.

    Too bad... Ravens don't have "it" post season.

    Lions don't look intimidated being in the NFCC game.
