And unless the offensive line completely falls apart like the Super Bowl a few years ago, I expect Mahomes to be his usual playoff Mahomes self and make plays.
There's a lot of evidence to suggest QB > 'complete team', but as we've seen with say the 49ers SB, that doesn't mean it's easy.

So.... cautiously optimistic is probably the best way to put it. I'd be surprised if it isn't a toss-up game, within 1 score in the final several minutes.

Well, a bit surprised the Ravens abandoned the run, but we had also talked about how having Mahomes on the other sideline makes teams do stupid shit, and of course going up early was perfect in terms of putting the game on Lamar's passing ability.
And also surprised their offense looked THAT bad... didn't expect it to look as good as the Bills considering they wouldn't have to respect hero ball as much, but had still given into a small amount of the hype around them being better offensively this season. They were a ****ing mess and it was glorious. |
