Unfortunately, for fans of the game, this basically relegates the Chiefs to the Browns level. Maclin is THE vital piece to their offense. They literally don't have a single starting caliber skill player left outside of Kelce, who is a big disappointment this year. Combine that with a QB who is about as conservative as a 50's Catholic chick, it's over.

New England is praying Pittsburgh wins.
Denver is praying Cincinnati wins.

The Chiefs are a lame duck.
I don't think NE cares who wins and I think the Chiefs would play them tightly.

The Chiefs, without Maclin, are probably a 6-10 team. There is no way they can win a game without a passing game.

Maclin worth 5 wins over his replacement?

Ok.

They have good defense and special teams....they have won 11 in a row. They are deserving of the elite 8 they are in.

The Chiefs are good. You don't win like they have since week 6 if you aren't a good team.

Could this be another azu hot take that goes horribly wrong?

Also Maclin is important, but not 11-5 to 6-10
Important. GTFO.

Redskins feel like the team to beat in their game....not knowing a ton about them I am skeptical until proven otherwise, especially against Rodgers

Vikings DBs do such a good job at creating contact with the WR but not getting called for it.

Bridgewater with a terrible sack, that he got lucky on with the long FG still made, narrowly missing being blocked, that upped it to a 2 possession game. I wonder if they've checkked the air pressure in the kicking balls to see if they are legal.
