Conference Title Games Are Set

The title tilts are set after the Eagles rode a playoff team record 206 yards rushing, which included 2 long TD’s to (-6 plus) the Rams (28-22) to now be (-5) vs upstart “Wash” next week while the Bills won just their second slots/”div” game since the four in a row before Supe losses (’90-’93), holding off the Ravens (27-25) as a slight 1 point underdog.

A Philly/Wash playoffs clash can not be later than a semi and Sunday’s earlier title will be just the second such, the other a “Wash” Bullets 6 games win vs the Sixers in ’78 before winning vs Gus Williams and Sea in the final round.

In ’90, the Wash team opened the first year of 2 wild card games per conference winning at Philadelphia.

Meanwhile a Supe berth will be on the line for a fourth time, in what will be the 6th K.C. Chiefs vs Bills ‘offs clash.

As stated before, the Chiefs denied Buffalo Supe entry with “semis” wins at Buffalo in ’66 and a home such in 2020. Buffalo prevailed in the ’93 AFC title game, before suffering a 4th Supe loss in as many seasons.

The Chiefs are also (2-1) vs the Bills in “div” games having won truly close games in 2021 and 2023 after losing one in ’91.

Things, especially field goal attempts, are still good for Chiefs’ kicker, Har Butker, pictured above.
