Breaking News: Chiefs Will Face Steelers in Wildcard Round on Sunday Night
49 repliesWith the Texans failing to pull off the upset over Tennessee, the Jaguars shockingly blowing out the Colts, and the Steelers beating Baltimore, it is official that the Chiefs have the 2nd seed and will host the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round of the playoffs.
(Barring a Raiders and Chargers tie.)
UPDATE: The NFL has announced that the Chiefs will play on Sunday Night on NBC at 7:15.
Forgot a tie tonight would change it, but screw it let’s go ahead and discuss it.
They just announced the Chiefs play Sunday night
CHIEFS 11 POINT FAVORITES
KC WEATHER
GREAT NO RAIN/SNOW
So we ended up getting a first round bye anyway
Si
Chiefs NEED a MOJO game
the other thread is broken Tony
a new comment ends up halfway down the thread
Try refreshing, it works fine for me.
it was working till I did refresh
all good
Best outcome besides getting the 1st seed.
The first half of the season, I wasn’t sure we’d make the playoffs at all!
I agree. I’ve been beyond frustrated with this team this season but we’ve made it in. But we can’t afford to lay any more eggs.
I like that…” The league office prohibits such efforts to undermine the integrity of the game”
Really? Do they not monitor their officials?
So other than the Titans losing, this is the best case scenario right?
Our worst matchups seem to be teams that can sustain offensive drives, limiting our TOP and flipping momentum away from our offense. The Steelers have a terrible offense and we saw how that worked out for them against us recently. So glad we aren’t getting the Chargers as the 7 seed.
Side note: If the Steelers and Saints get the 7 seeds, can all NFL fans please come together and lobby to get the 12 team playoff format back? The 14 team format is really stupid and a huge downgrade imo.
I’d slightly prefer the Raiders, but yeah the Jags winning was a nice consolation prize.
Also, welcome!
Thanks, I’ve been a lurker since the AP days. Playoff time just gets me so amped I had to join the conversation 🙂
welcome, and totally agree the “new format” is silly
Trying to remember the last time the NFL listened to the fans…
We could all just lobby anyway. Hated the idea of a 7 team playoffs. The last seeds don’t deserve it.
I think with that match-up we have a real shot to get the MNFer. I’m sure ESPN wants Bens epic last season playoff run. Bahahahaha
Brady/Murray is enticing, I hope
Patriots loss would drop them to 6th seed probably heading to Buffalo for Wild card
Chargers/Raiders to Cincinnati
what’s the Odds of seeing the most consecutive FB Dives in NFL History tonight? (by both teams)
They absolutely should. People would be pissed, but the coaches and players have one and only one job, to win the Super Bowl, and you can’t win the Super Bowl if you don’t make the playoffs.
yeah, but like discussed in the early game thread, the league would hand down some pretty impressive penalities for collusion if they intentionally manipulated the outcome like that
The league turns the other cheek when it’s one team doing it, but both teams? No way they let that slide.
Pats are choking
That 1990s chiefs running ball shit does NOT work in the NEW NFL
tell that to Derrick Henry …
Love it!
What is it with the Dolphins and NE on the last weekend of the season?
Fins 14-0
Al Davis: “Just Tie, Baby”
Fuck the steelers
Probably.
I worry about the refs on the “Big Ben Farewell Tour”. I hope I’m wrong, but we have a history with bogus calls in the playoffs with the Steelers
Time to continue killing ghosts
Nah..
Pitts a badddd team
Chiefs know its BALLING time = playoffs
Fishers holding call on Harrison still is burned into my memory. Kill some ghosts!
Good matchup for us – that is assuming that the Chargers and Raiders do not tie.
Chiefs have a bye, next week
PITT, Best team for Chiefs to play to get full MOJO back
“Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery Opening”
MOJO
Not ideal, but of all the teams we could have faced the Steelers were a good get.
yup
