And, though it didn't get bad calls late, THIS was apparently called Roughing the Passer against the Chiefs...
The NFL couldn't get so blatant, but they get Kansas City out, which means Tom Brady and Bill Belichick (and I don't know how many others on the Pats) get to their NINTH Super Bowl.Your honor. I present exhibit B after the exhibit A from the @saints game. This is proof the NFL wants a Boston/LA Super Bowl. How is this “ruffing the passer” unless there is collusion? #COLLUSION pic.twitter.com/8GtmZhKZZt— Sean Montgomery (@gomery) January 21, 2019
I have a number of angles on this game, and, as a result of at least one of them, cannot hope to make a call at this time.
There was an apparent NFL Shop ad which actually was hawking New England AFC Championship apparel after the end of the first quarter, though...
But, unlike the NFC game earlier today, they didn't have to get so blatant about it on the field.Hey @OfficialNFLShop - just a question: why, at the end of the first quarter, are you airing a commercial, saying the @Patriots are the AFC champs? The game has 3 quarters to go. @TheFixIsInTuohy pic.twitter.com/HA2rgBd2Wk— Panic at the Citgo (@XanderRich) January 21, 2019
Game was immediately bet to a pick when the line opened in Vegas, total right now is around 58. Within 20 minutes, what opened as the Rams a point and a half favorites has swung to New England being 1 1/2-2 point favorites.
This year, the trial balloon WAS a call.
Super Bowls are not won,they're awarded.And New England is owed by the league for last years game.Still think it was supposed to be the Eagles in the rematch with the Patriots but since that didn't happen CBS chose the coast to coast match-up instead of Saints/Patriots.Speaking of..Your right.At least the AFC does a better job of scripting games.
