The Monday after the Music City Miracle, WCW Nitro was in Buffalo. Jeff Jarrett came out in a Wycheck jersey. The crowd response was magical.

The Vikings kicked a field goal at 1:57 in the 4th quarter.

Right now, outside of Mahomes existing (which is, admittedly, a massive force multiplier) I would put the Colts over KC. Minshew has been Him enough to get them somewhere.

8-5 Kansas City - good but flawed
8-5 Jacksonville - the Lions of the AFC
8-5 Cleveland - maybe the scariest team on this list somehow
7-6 Pittsburgh - nope
7-6 Indianapolis - fun but no
7-6 Denver - don't buy it
7-6 Houston - a year early but fiesty
7-6 Cincinnati - how are you still alive

If nothing else the Broncos show that head coaches actually do matter, the difference between last year and this is :stare:

Jerry Jeudy hosed up no less than 3 huge plays in that game. If he could catch wide rear end open bombs or get his feet in bounds the score would have been even more embarrassing.

Broncos are teetering on the cusp of being Good which is wild to say. Russ is always going to be an albatross but if they had one more pass catcher who could, ya know, catch passes they’d be pretty feisty

It makes me wonder what Denver is actually going to do with Russ. He's obviously not as bad as he was last year, it he's also going to be 36 next year, has an albatross of a contract going forward, and if Denver is going to try and get out of that contract, this is the offseason to do so

No way they do it this offseason. They're already 20 mill over in 2024. Which I know you can kick the can but not if that number is 105 million - which it would be.

His functional out year is pretty much 2026. His Cap hits if they cut him:
RN: 107 million
2024: 85 million
2025: 40 mill - potential cut year here I guess
2026: 31 mill - likely cut year here
2027: 13 mill

Hopefully the Bills do get in. The AFC playoffs will be boring without them

Wonder if the Ravens vs Dolphins game can get flexed? That's probably going to determine the #1 seed in the AFC

Please do not underestimate the Dolphins ability to collapse.

Though in fairness all of Raven, Cowboys and Bills are just as prone to a hilarious face plant.

Ravens have collapsed against the Dolphins the last two meetings in different forms. First one offensively second one defensively though that one was very injury-related. And dumb offensive playcalling toward the end.

The Ravens will not win a single playoff game in the divisional round or beyond--we are just not very good and the defense has regressed a bit. But honestly I don't know if there even IS a good AFC team at this point. The Browns might actually be the best one.

There really isn't. It's certainly not Cleveland. They're fine, they're absolutely in the mixer, but the Chiefs, Dolphins and Ravens are a bit floatier than them

I just want to win a playoff game and break the streak I don't care if it's against Easton Stick or Mitch Trubisky.

I think that if Garrett gets healthy they should definitely be considered as one of the top AFC teams. Cause when that defense is on its game I think they can beat just about anybody and they did beat SF even.

No only one game on monday and no games on other days. NFL wants there to be football spread out across every day they can get away with but I strongly prefer the sunday afternoon madness format. I hate when games start happening on saturdays too.
