Chiefs 9-4 / Broncos 5-8

This was the Snow Game. We had a young Mahomes here and a heavy snow falling, and the media questions before the game were whether Mahomes could play in the snow. The answer, of course, was yes, as he showed quickly with a 41-yard bomb to Tyreek. (You get a chance to see Colquitt's arm on the botched extra point afterwards, but I recommend that you not watch that. It was not pretty.) This game features perhaps my favorite two-point play ever at the 6:40 mark of the highlights. Mahomes is in the pocket for roughly 45 minutes, stepping around flailing defenders, before casually flicking the ball to Watkins. The story of this game is pretty much all Mahomes, throwing for 340 yards in the white stuff. Butker also showed himself to be a snow kicker with three field goals, and Kelce was seen to be a snow tight end with 142 yards receiving. We got sacks from Okafor and Matthieu, as well as a Thornhill interception and this game was never in doubt.

Chiefs 7-4 / Raiders 6-5

This game is full of fun plays. Check out the great shot of Jon Gruden at 1:15 of the hightlights, after the Raiders gave up their second turnover in the first half of the first quarter. It's priceless. And at 1:48 of the highlights, watch our favorite run stuffer Mike Pennel relentlessly chase down a screen pass. At 3:20, you'll see Mahomes take a 16-yard drop and then complete a pass to a levitating Travis Kelce. Then at 3:58 Thornhill executes a gorgeous long pick six on the the Raiders QB (Carr). At 5:32 you'll see one of the most graceful Mahomes/Kelce passes ever. We led 24-0 at halftime, and the Raiders didn't get a touchdown until the final minute of the game. The fun part about that is that we were up 38-9, and then blocked the extra point and took it back all the way for a reverse two-point conversion (Kpass with the block and Ward with the return). What a nice ending. Now, here's the weird part. Mahomes threw for only 175 yards and we only had 96 yards rushing. It seems that we were on a short field a lot due to the turnovers. Kelce was our leading yardage guy with 90 yards, and 47 of that came on one play. We were just putting points up automatically.

The Raiders game was more fun than a barrel of monkeys, but the Snow Game was great because we got to discover another wonderful thing about Patrick Mahomes II. He's a snow quarterback! Snow quarterbacks are valuable in the postseason.
