I only put as much doubt in my OP as I did because I had the sense of “am I missing something here?”

Yes, if multiple additional breaks go Baltimore’s way and none of the breaks they already got (the ones I mentioned + others) go KC’s way and none of that changes the game flow such that KC still lets its foot off the gas on both offense and defense, then Baltimore probably wins.

I’ve seen more ridiculous penalties in my life.  Nothing Mahomes did today was remotely as lucky as the slop to Roberts or even the Snead bounce.

I’ll walk back what I said: the play to Snead was the better of the two, I’m not sure which was “luckier.” The Snead play showed good scrambling by Jackson along with a decent throw, followed by a good play by Snead and a very fortunate bounce. It’s “lucky” in a manner I’m now used to after watching Mahomes, like the…

Legitimately seems like Ogletree was giving up, and Peppers was trying to push him to go. Maybe the hamstring injury happened during the run?

Counterpoint, the two late touchdowns were both aided by exceptionally fortunate catches, both shown in the clips above.  The 4th-and-5 was a barely missed sack, wounded duck of a throw, and arguably offensive PI.  The 3rd and 17th ricochet to Snead was even luckier.  I wasn’t happy with the Chiefs defense letting the…

I expect Deadspin to post a public apology. They’re really good about eating crow when their narratives go down in flames.

Sorry I replied the same thing to two of your posts, didn’t realize both were you. So many posts in this thread are ignoring the fact that significant criminal accusations already existed, even if there were no charges against AB. In fact, I had a brief argument with Dom about this on his other article. In most…

Repost of above, but there were plenty of other stories about AB out there:

Repost from above, VERY relevant to your point:

Prior to this summer there were at least two stories of alleged criminal behavior on the part of Brown that were out there and not related to the “diva” antics in Oakland:

Run *TO* the 45, perhaps?

Lots of stuff wrong with that dinosaur segment. Primarily that dimetrodon, pterodactyls, and pteranodons were not strictly dinosaurs by their taxonomic classification. They were more distantly related reptiles.

It’s Nirvana, Bush, Soundgarden, getting hit by a car, Pearl Jam and I will not discuss it further.

This is the weirdest Ocean’s 13 deleted scene I’m betting.

What are the chances?

End of that clip: “We’re gonna take a break.”

It sounded like Ben had initially said “no” to the surgery and the doctors were going to overrule him. Too bad there’s not a joke there.

I think I’ll take a defense that stuggles in the 1st quarter and then settles in. Which, other than garbage time, is what the team has done for two straight weeks. (They allowed two TDs after getting out to a 37-13 lead last week.) I’m wary but hopeful.
