If you pay any attention to American professional football, you probably know that we’re down to the last four teams in the playoffs and next week there will be two games to determine who will meet in the Super Bowl in Las Vegas in three weeks. If you have been here any length of time, you know that we’re huge fans of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Somewhat unexpectedly, even to die hards like me, we find ourselves in next week’s AFC Championship game against the Ravens. I’m not sure that many folks gave us much of a chance a few weeks ago. While we started something like 6-1 (it’s really late, I had the Gala Friday and I’ve been working all weekend on the budget that’s due this week, I’m really tired, so I’m not going to look it up, you can Google it yourself) we went something like 4-6 in the last part of the season, including a loss to the hated Raiders. While we won our conference, for the first time in several years we did not have a bye the first week of the playoffs, and tonight we had a playoff game on the road for the first time in several years. (Other than for the Super Bowl, obviously, which is at a neutral site.)
Buffalo had several opportunities to win the game, but they’re the ones who had the dropped and missed passes and missed field goals tonight, so the Chiefs won and will have a shot next week at going to their fourth Super Bowl in five years. Not bad.
It’s nerve racking, and there are plenty of other things out there shredding my nerves to begin with, but winning is nice!
