Decent article from SI...

 

THREE THINGS YOU SHOULD CARE ABOUT

 

1. The Chiefs have yet to beat a team anywhere near as good as the Ravens.

Beating up on the mediocre-to-bad teams that fortuitously happen to populate your schedule is a perfectly valid way of making the playoffs, and it's not as easy a thing to do as it might seem. But it has done little to prepare the Chiefs to take on a tested team like the Ravens....

 

2. The Arrowhead Advantage might only go so far.

 

3. The Chiefs' top-ranked running attack can be stopped.

...Charles had the great fortune of playing what seems like most of the league's most inept defenses against the run -- including six games against the league's 29th, 30th, 31st and 32nd-ranked run defenses (Oakland, Arizona, Denver, and Buffalo, respectively) -- and, in fact, he saw a run defense that ultimately ranked in the league's top half only four times....

I hope the Ravens watched the Seahawks/Saints game.

Don't let the Chiefs and their fans get off and running.

Exactly what I was thinking as I was watching that game. I think that result was good for the Ravens - shows them how big home field can be and how any team, no matter their credentials, can turn it on in the playoffs.

That was a great game.

 

So after today it's 'on to Pittsburgh". Just what I wanted.

If you really want to look ahead, if the Jets beat the Pats we could have a potential home game for the AFC Championship game.

 

 

That's where I've been looking. I was a Jets fan yesterday and will be next week.
