I'd say the one encouraging thing was it seemed like they were getting to 3rd and short quite a bit, like the older days. I could be wrong, but didn't seem like they had nearly as many 2nd and longs that turned into 3rd and longs.
Even in the 2nd half, they ****ed up several manageable 3rd downs. In the playoffs that means Mahomes is probably running for more 1st downs, and Kelce most likely isn't dropping everything.
And I'm usually the one screaming offense wins championships and you have to be able to score 30+ in a game or 3 when the games really matter... but, just not sure that's true on the AFC side this year given Burrow is out, Allen is struggling, and the defense is ****ing legit.

The highest opponent score this season was the broncos with 24 and that included a bunch of turnovers. So you don't even need to score 30. 24 is probably enough with this defense. Average so far is 22.5
