2011: Saturday 3:30
2012: Saturday 3:30
2015: Saturday 3:30
2016: Saturday 3:30
2018: Saturday 3:30
2019: Saturday 3:30
2023: Saturday 3:30
2024: Saturday 3:30

Wow. Picturing how pissed off our board would be if that was the case with KC prior (in a universe without Mahomes).

Really? I thought that was a Saturday game too.

Nope, Sunday. I vividly remember being in KC for the game and watching Derrick Henry stiff arm Earl Thomas and the Ravens into oblivion the night before to give us home field in the AFCCG,.

Yeah, that's right the Titans played the night before.

Was that the Derrick Henry pass game?

Extra day's rest for a potential home AFC Championship game is significant.

Absolutely enormous considering the other team is going to be beat to shit.

Yup. I also remember that was my first time watching AJ Brown showing what an absolute monster he was.

If we can't beat the Texans, it just is what it is and we didn't deserve anything. We suffered through the hardest path last year to now have the easiest path this year. Nothing is really "easy" per se but it's all relative given the gauntlets and wars this team has endured.

Especially if the Ravens win in Buffalo. Ravens win in Buffalo and have to travel home. Wont be home until early Monday morning. Have to turn around and travel to Kansas City on Saturday.

Been saying it for weeks.

We want a Ravens vs Chiefs AFCCG in Arrowhead.

That would be a brutal set of circumstances for Baltimore to overcome.

The thing that really sucks for them is they will come into that game trying to run, run, run on offense.

That's a recipe to fall behind early. This is the BEST Chiefs run defense in years.

With a questionable pass defense and an OL we already destroyed. Twice.

I just can't see the Ravens coming out passing at all after what happened last postseason. Of course, who knows if Zay will even be close to 100%.

Chiefs stonewalled Henry in the 2019 AFCCG which had Mike Pennel. The other good games Henry had was when the Chiefs didn't have Mike on the team.

And that team didn't have Bolton or Chenal either. Both of those guys are excellent at stopping the run.
