–We’ve seen this movie before.
The Kansas City Chiefs are heading for their third Super Bowl in a row and a shot at the first threepeat since the Green Bay Packers did it in the 1960s and the first time in the Super Bowl era after beating the Bills, 32-29, with a fourth period drive in the AFC title game.. Yes, they found a way to win another one score game and they did it with the help of a controversial call.
–The controversial call came early in the fourth quarter. The Bills were at the Kansas City 41 when they decided to try Josh Allen on the push play on 4th and one after failing to make it on third and one. Allen appeared to get just enough for the first down before being pushed back although it was difficult to tell because the camera angle was to Allen’s back. The officials on each side of the field seemed to disagree but the call that was made that he was stopped short and the review didn’t overturn it. The Chiefs took over and scored a touchdown and the Bills matched it to tie the game 29-29 before the Chiefs got a field goal for a 32-29 lead..
–The Chiefs took over with just over three minutes left. Plenty of time to drive for a game tying field goal or game winning touchdown. But the drive ended after six plays when the Chiefs called a corner blitz on fourth and five and Allen had to rush a deep throw and Dalton Kincaid dropped to it and the Bills had another heartbreaking loss the Chiefs. The Bills may have made a mistake by not giving James Cook a carry on the last drive. It was another heartbreaking loss for the Bills, who are 4-1 against Patrick Mahones in the regular season and 0-4 in playoffs.
–Anyway, the Chiefs kept their drive alive for the first the first Super Bowl threepeat. They will take on the Eagles for the second time in three years in the Super Bowl. The Eagles beat the Commanders 55-23. Saquan Barkley ran 60 yards for a touchdown on the first snap and wound up with 118 yards and three rushing touchdown and quarterback Jalen Hurts added three more.. The Eagles scored three touchdowns off Washington turnovers.
–The Chiefs beat the Eagles 38-35 without Barkley two years ago in the Super Bowl and it figures to be another close game now that the Eagles have Barkley. Let the hype begin.
