You're trying to put this awful, crushing loss behind you, and yet you are staring at the first game of the season all pre-season, and you have to start your season watching film of you losing the SB. Emotionally difficult.
So the thinking is that the NFL won't force the Falcons to do that too, which shifts the focus to someone else. Pretty much comes down to Chiefs or Texans, and with the Texans being roadkill for the Pats twice last year, I think it's almost definitely going to be Chiefs.
