Neither game was terribly compelling yesterday as both of them were basically over in the 3rd quarter.
I was very disappointed in my Brownies. The defense gave up way too many big plays which took away any momentum the offense had given them with those early TDs. Flacco looked his age and threw a couple of absolutely atrocious INTs which were both returned.
I'm not sure if it was mentioned, but I think the difference in punting was a significant factor. The Cleveland punter hit a couple of semi-shanks and was mediocre the whole game. He had them at a disadvantage constantly. A lot of punts were around 40 yards. It seemed that Houston was getting the ball at no worse than their own 40. They even started from the Browns 45 on one series. Cleveland meanwhile was scrimmaging from around the 15 yard line on each possession. Oh, well. They had a more than respectable year.
The other game was a matter of who dealt with the conditions better. KC was clearly the better team and Mahomes was far superior to Tua. I don't think he was ever able to grip the ball properly judging by how far he was off on a lot of his passes.
Gonna go with Detroit today. Home teams tend to do much better in the playoffs that during the regular season. But now way an I betting on Dallas, just on principle. LOL.
