The KC Chiefs are a lot like the 1981 Niners. They make mistakes, the blow it off, they keep going.

Joe Montana threw 3 interceptions in the 1981/2 NFC Championship game against Dallas before “the catch.” You don’t have to be perfect; you just have to execute when it matters.

I agree. The defender’s only fault seemed to be that he didn’t dematerialize when the ball was thrown into him. Do defenders have zero rights to occupy their space on the field?

I’m getting bad vibes of SBXLIII, where the Cardinals came back from a 20-7 deficit to take a 23-20 lead and choked it away at the end to Pittsburgh.

Two teams that had great offenses coming in. And it’s not far from 54.

I’m happy for Andy Reid. Sad that the Hunts win. Sad for Richard Sherman and Kyle Juszczck. Happy for KC. Sad that defense and a running game didnt get it done.

Great game. Enjoyed if immensely.
