I prefer to think of boomer as a state of mind rather than a literal age. For instance, calling me son makes you a boomer. Hi, dad!

Just MAKE SURE you go stand and wait by the George Brett statue.

Technically the first "AFC Championship Game" to decide the representative from the AFC was the Baltimore Colts beating the Oakland Raiders in Baltimore in 1970.

For the first four Super Bowls in 66, 67, 68, and 69, it was the champion of the AFL vs. champion of NFL.

It's generally agreed that the Super Bowl era started with the first game.
Not the 5th...

There are far more advanced tests that measure ability to process and have done a much better job of predicting QB success.

Josh Allen smoked Mahomes in Wonderlic.

Be a genius like Fitzpatrick but dont have elite physical ability or average smarts and elite ability like Mahomes. Pretty easy choice.

This sounds vaguely threatening. Which is rude because I'm already scarred for life from the Royals emerging from nowhere to steal the 2014 WS from the Orioles before promptly returning to the abyss again.

My understanding was that the first official AFC Championship game was in 1970 and before that you had AFL championship games. But maybe the record keepers lump them all together.

Give me a break, I'm trying to troll here.

Two years of glory. Still can't believe the Royals won a WS on the back of a bullpen.

If we only use the Texans game to measure how the Ravens will play, Lamar is going to get sacked 6 times and throw at least one pick.

In addition to that, your defense was vunerable in the middle all game and if you don't think that Mahomes is going to chew up!

This should be a good game, but you are clearly not being realistic if you think this is going to be a blow out. You are not going to dominate the Chiefs o-line with a four man rush.

JT O' Suklivam has a filmstudy on Lamar against the blitz. Go watch it.
