Andrew’s is an awesome tight end, this game will keep him up at night for a long time. Till next season anyway.
Let the talk begin of Lamar not being able to win big games. He is so fun to watch

Tough game for Baltimore. Andrews seems to be a good dude- feel for him. I like Lamar, fun to watch. I have been pulling for Buffalo to get to the big game for a few years, so easy to root against KC.

I think everyone can agree to root for Washington. Nobody wants to see Philly any longer than we must...

Vegas had those games didn't they, 6.5 (won by 6 thanks to a freak, but great call, to give up a safety to hose the betting public), then line 1.5 (wins by 2). I didn't even look at the prop bets. I'm glad I don't gamble, those big buildings out there didn't get built for nothing.

What some fun games when you don't have a dog in the hunt! Goff giving the game away, Lamar fumbling and bumbling through a lot of that game. There was one drive in particular, Henry and that other kid were running it at almost 10 yards a clip, then, the OC puts the ball in Lamar's hands, backwards they go. I will say this, Lamar led them right down the field when he needed to do it, scored the td., just couldn't seal it.

I know they are pros, but falling backwards, slipping to boot, trying to lean backwards too, because he knew he wasn't in the end zone yet, and catch the ball, lots going on during that few seconds the ball was in the air.

The Bills D. really stood out to me in this game, great gameplan to disrupt Lamar, Rams D. stepped it up, so did Washington's. I haven't mentioned Philly, Barkley took that game over, Rams didn't have an answer for anyone running the ball. Philly's D. did just enough.

Looking at the stats, I think the story of that game was 3 turnovers don’t win games.

Agree, especially when the other team has zero :D

I was pretty impressed with the Bills O line. I think the Ravens had one sack. They have the number 1 defense for runs, that’s number 1 I the NFL, and while Buffalo didn’t rack up a ton of yards, they racked up enough and at the right times.

The Ravens have an outstanding team, both sides, and they aren’t going anywhere soon.

On to KC.

2 awesome games yesterday! That 2 pt conversion drop is going to sting for a while. Going to be a staple memory of Andrews' career.

Andrews dropping two balls that should be routine catches and Lamar just fumbling the ball when his arm wasn't hit. If the fix was in those plays felt like they could be involved. I'm not saying it was, but if it were.. The fact that there were 2 games yesterday with lots of struggles holding onto the football makes everything more explainable.

The best teams don't make those little mistakes in the big games. They don't beat themselves. Chiefs aren't the best team in the NFL. They have the best coach and they don't beat thmeselves.

Looking back obviously three turnovers to none was the big difference in the game, some may say the Bills got lucky. With that I decided to delve more into the turnover ratio across the NFL.

Team with the best turnover ratio in the NFL........ Bills +24, and not by just a little—second best is the Steelers with +16 (30% lower). Ravens +6 (as are the Chiefs)—significantly lower. It's just one of many factors, but obviously a big one last night.
