Yawn. Nothing to report. All four of the “first round bye” teams won their games.

The Saints had some trouble with the Eagles, falling behind by 14 at one time, but the other three “bye” teams breezed through.

The Colts were never really in it at all. They just couldn’t move the ball.

The Rams won with a rare strategy – grinding it out on the ground. They gained almost 300 rushing yards, accounting for all three of their touchdowns.

The Pats scored 35 in the first half against a hapless Charger defense. Life will be much more difficult for the Pats next week. They will not be at their cozy home in Foxboro, where they were undefeated throughout the regular season and the playoffs, but on the road, where they were 3-5 during the season.

==============

The Chiefs will be favored by 3 at home in the AFC Conference Championship game.

In the NFC Championship, the Saints are 3.5 point favorites at home.

  1. Same here. Living in Europe, I haven’t found watching the NFL worth the effort until Mahomes came along this season.

  2. I have weaned myself from watching weekly football but this Patrick Mahomes QB for KC lives up to the cliche of being a “game changer” He throw the football like a frisbee; side arm across his body into impossibly narrow windows.
