So on the one hand you want to mock the Ravens for being regular season champions, but on the other you want to act like they're an unremarkable regular season team. Which is it?

[WilliamTheIrish]

Both.

So I guess we’re the Cinderella story now??

How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, NFL?!?!?

I might have missed it, but why did the line go from 3.5 to 4.5?

Didn't even cite the right numbers. Three times in six years, which encompasses the Lamar era.

Unlike the AFC West, the AFC North is a real division with parity, so the titles aren't just awarded to one team every year.

Literally all of America is cheering for the Ravens to beat the Chiefs. The delusion has affected the players.

Chiefs by double digits!

So, how many AFCCG’s? Gotta be like 6, right? Play in such a tough division. Now way you’d get beat by the titans or bills, right???

I'm sure the Steelers wouldn't appreciate you stolen valoring their respectable record against Lamar.

No one in the AFCN has drafted with the intent to beat Lamar Jackson. No.One. full stop

The Chiefs are playing in their 6th straight AFCCG. They've played in 3 SBs and won 2.

Lamar Jackson has won 2 playoff games in his career. He's won 2 playoffs games, in his career. He doesn't command the same respect that Mahomes does. He's missed the 2nd half of 2 of the last 3 seasons. He's thrown for 200+ yards in the playoffs, one time. After throwing 2 TDs last week he's now 5/5 td/int for his playoff career with a passer rating of 75.7

You've had a great year and as usual, you've gotten there due to Jackson's legs, whether it be literal running or getting outside the pocket and throwing a pass 4+ seconds after the snap.

If the Chiefs keep RB8's TTT below 2.7 seconds tomorrow, you will lose by two scores.

yaaay

Parity is just the NFL's word for mediocrity.... except for the Bengals of course, who have actually won the conference and beat both the Bills and Chiefs when it matters.

Right. Why would a team that is 1-8 against the 2x MVP in the division take that into consideration when drafting? Totally implausible! And definitely within rfaulk34's purview to definitively state that "no.one. full stop" in the Bengals' front office has done this. Not even within the realm of possibility according to rfaulk34.

I expect this from the hordes of zombies on Chiefs Planet who are, ya know, Chiefs fan. But what is in spouting off this surface-level nonsense for you? Is the inferiority complex of Bengals fans such that you need to look to Chiefs fans for some sort of recognition? I know the Ravens and Steelers couldn't give two shits about the Bengals, but you always have that toilet bowl with your Ohio brethren in Cleveland, no? Surely you can find some sense of self in being better than them!
