Similar to the Detroit game, turnovers are making the difference. Can Buffalo continue to contain the Ravens running game?

Great revenge win and the turnovers hurt Baltimore. Flowers might have made the difference. Baltimore ran well but Henry didnt have the huge runs that could have hurt the Bills.

Both of my SB picks out of it now. Lamar cannot shake his reputation as a playoff choker. Calling BUF over PHI now.

Well, got 3 out of 4 this weekend. Only miss was...sigh...my Lions. They got close to the 35 I figured they'd score on Wash but I also knew they'd have trouble with Daniels (but not 45 points worth). Also didn't count on Goff having a shit day, especially at home. Didn't hear many of those Jar-ed Goff chants. Also predicted Barkley would have a really big game in the slop, which he did (but was admittedly a pretty safe prediction).

My pick for the conference title games:

The magic runs out for Washington at Philadelphia and, altho I am an ardent ABC (Anybody But Chiefs) guy and I've grown sick of Mahones, Kelce, Swifties, and the old fat coach shilling everything from burgers to insurance on every broadcast, I think KC prevails. And I can't believe this is only Buffalo's second AFC championship game since 1991 or '92, according to some talking head. Is that right? Too lazy to look up myself.

I think Eagles keep KC from a 3-peat in SB.

For the Bills, their second AFC Championship game since 2020. Before that, their last was 1993/94. Didnt get to see all the game but hoping to catch the replay*

I was critical of McDermott earlier and was wrong. He finally wins his first divisional playoff since beating the Ravens in the 2020/21 postseason.

C' mon Buffalo and beat the damn Chiefs!

*Just saw the replay where Andrews dropped the two-point conversion to tie. With the lost fumble as well, a game to forget. Too bad, he is a great player.

Commanders = 2017 Jaguars

1 hit wonder that will regress hard next year

Sometimes, chasing points can hurt teams. Had the Ravens kicked the extra point and cut the Bills lead to 21-20, they could have possibly tied the game after their final TD instead of going for two ... I know, the situations might have been different for Buffalo but it was easier to kick FGs at 24-19 and 27-19 than if the Ravens had gotten to 20 points. Still, Andrews should have tied the game anyway with the catch. A tough loss for Raven's fans.

No fanbase deserves an out of nowhere playoff run less than the Washington Commanders bandwagon

Heartily agree. If they have a hardcore group of fans they're not the kind to rub shoulders with the noxious mix of attorneys, politicos, socialites, contractors, and media types that inhabit the DC swamp.

Haha ... I disagree guys. Anything is better than the Snyder years. That guy would have had the first lifeboat off the Titanic. Forget women and children. I dont know how he is not in jail? Daniels has had the best rookie season since Roethlisberger.

Rams fans have to be disappointed with that game yesterday. Despite the three huge TD runs where the defense hardly layed a hand on Hurts and Barkley, the pass rush gave them momentum with the safety, before losing crucial fumbles by Williams and Stafford. Even at the end, I felt Stafford could win the game but Jalen Carter snuffed out their chance. Some people believe Stafford could make the HOF, but another championship game would have really helped his chances.
