    Seattle thoroughly outplayed by Tampa Bay. Bucs are now 6-5, and not out of it by any means.

    Raiders score the last 11 points and sack Newton on 4th down to win it.

    if that denver receiver has been smart enough to go down inside the KC 10 rather than scoring, this game would be over

    Yeah no that's not the case. There was still three minutes left, a best-case scenario would have had the Broncos run three plays inside the ten to get the clock down to :40 or so, the two minute warning was still a factor.

    If Denver misses a playoff spot they'll rue not taking the tie. I get trying to stay in the division race but 7-3-1 still leaves you in a good spot. 7-4 behind two teams in your own division, different story.

    they could've run the clock down inside a minute and kicked a FG
    to go up 4 (or score a TD with less time on the clock)

    then KC could've gotten the ball with no timeouts, under a minute on the clock, needing a TD to win

    almost no chance of winning


    much worse than what they did

    getting it with 3 minutes down 8


    so the guy hurt their chances by scoring. As I said, game would've been over. No way KC is driving down the field for a TD on this Denver D with under a minute and no timeouts

    then kubiak with a bad kicker attempts a 62 yarder and gives KC an easy path to victory

    Great game. As said above, the 62 yarder was dumb. Too many variables sometimes for a kick from that distance.

    I also don't get why the Denver defense shelled up into prevent on the final regulation drive. Absolutely hate when teams do this. Gave them not only the sideline but ten yard cushions all the way down the field.

    Kansas City probably had 70 yards passing before then, and Smith had no time. Stay with what's worked. They went ten yards by ten yards all the way down the field til the eventual touchdown.

    Kubiak should've played for the tie. Backup Kansas City and hope to force a turnover.
