    What a good, entertaining and competitive game. It looks like the ability to run the football will salt this one away and set-up an interesting NFC showdown between two teams who are pretty well rounded: good defense, good passing game and good running game.

    I don't know about that trying for 2 points - now the Bucs are down by 8.

    It was a bad move IMO, but the defense can’t get the ball back anyway.

    Tampa just made too many mistakes early. They had multiple changes at the start to build a lead and didnt. Their Oline is just not good either. Good season for Tampa for getting to where they did with what they had

    Lions are going to need to play better

    An ill advised throw.

    Absolutely no excuse for either throw, period

    The Baker last pick really wasnt a no excuse throw. He tried to force something or took a little to long. The Love throw was a cross body middle of the field floater. I know its easy to hate on Baker, but they didnt lose that game because of him.

    I never said they did lose because of Baker but your not going to make a claim that Bakers last pass was in any way a good decision, that was on him 100%

    I'm just not sure what the upside was, throwing it into the middle of the field with multiple defenders in front of the receiver

    The bigger point of the argument is that it wasn't necessary for him to throw it at all, there was plenty of time on the clock

    Buffalo can’t play defense. Looking forward to next week, Baltimore can.

    It will harder for Kansas City next week.

    Andy Reid would have owed the Chiefs' fan base an apology if they had lost that game

    hand the ball to that tasmanian devil Pacheco, go up 10 and bury the Bills. nah, how about we get really cute and dial up an end around with a wide receiver who never touches the ball instead.

    i went to twitter after that play and Chiefs' fans were coming unglued

    usually you pull stunts like that and you get what you deserve. they survived their head coach's idiocy

    This will be Jackson’s time to prove if he is for real or just hype. The Baltimore defense will give him a chance unlike the support Josh Allen got.

    I can’t believe KC came away with the win after the Hardman fumble and the Josh Allen fumble the Chiefs should have recovered. Usually you don’t dodge 2 bullets like that.
    Nice that we had the best kicker! 🥳

    Missing a 44 yarder at the end of the game to tie is not a good look, these days that should be made >90% of the time, won't be a happy off season for the Bills kicker.............

    Chiefs lead the league in drops as one of only 2 teams with over 40 drops but Diggs was tied for 6th with several others. Might be time for Buffalo to look around at moving him especially now that hes going to be on the wrong side of 30
