Touchdown Broncos. 

Fins still up 3-0.

Not looking good another Denver touchdown to make it now 14-0 with just under 5 minutes left in the first quarter.

Doesn't look like Kansas City is going to put up much of a fight today.

Not even remotely. 

Beat New England at home to start the season and you’re in the playoffs, pretty pathetic!

Mayo just got the axe in New England.   Not really fair.  You hired him and gave him a bad roster.  All I can think is they are finally cutting all Belichick ties and moving in a completely new direction.

And if you are mad at him for winning today and having the #4 pick instead of the #1 pick, then sell the team because if you don't want a team to try, you are a bad owner.

Not cutting all Belichick ties because they’ll be hiring Vrabel. Still not fair for him though.

Welcome back.  Here's a bad team.  If you don't win a SuperBowl, we'll replace you with Julian Edleman or Danny Amendola

24-0 Denver at the half.  They are playing like they know KC doesn't care.

To me, KC may not only not care, they may view it as legitimately better to have Cincinnati out. The best case scenario is Cinncinati takes out Buffalo and then KC has to deal With Cincinnati. Bengals might be the most dangerous team KC could see in second round. Better to just have them out. 

4:05 & 4:25 Kick Updates:

Seahawks 24 Rams 22

Jets 18 Dolphins 6

Broncos 31 Chiefs 0

Chargers 27 Raiders 13

Cardinals 26 49ers 24

It is all over but the shouting for the Bengals playoff shot.

4:05 & 4:25 Kick Finals:

Seahawks 30 Rams 25- With loss the Rams fall to the #4 seed in the NFC and the Buccaneers #3 seed

Broncos 38 Chiefs 0- With win Broncos get the #7 seed and Bengals and Dolphins are eliminated

Chargers 34 Raiders 20- Chargers get the #5 seed and Steelers fall to the #6 seed

Cardinals 47 49ers 24

Jets 32 Dolphins 20 

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times (from the classic “A Tale of Two Cincinnati Half-Seasons”).  
 

After 8 games, who thought the Stripes would eventually look like a deep playoff-run contender?   After 17, who thinks they look like an 8-seed?   
 

 

Kinda of weird growing up as a Bengals fan that a back to back winning seasons feels like a complete let down.

In the last game of week 18 and of the 2024 regular season the Lions led the Vikings 7-0 early in the 2nd quarter.
