Now, there are still 37 minutes to play in the game, but it is becoming evidently clear that the Houston Texans have been ordered to take a blatant dive to the Kansas City Chiefs for the league narrative. (Which I now, increasingly, am beginning to think reads "Green Bay vs. Kansas City -- Rodgers vs. Mahomes -- Super Bowl I Rematch. (And will that look stupid in about seven hours if Seattle wins!!))
Houston scores on a 3 minute drive after getting the ball first for 7-0.
Three and out, block the punt, 14-0.
Muffed punt, recovered by Houston inside the KC 10. 21-0 end of the first.
Houston then gets a field goal for 24-0 10:58 to go in the second quarter.
THEN...
Long kickoff return, 2 plays, one touchdown. 24-7.
Then Houston decides to FAKE PUNT???? Three plays later, 24-14.
Then a fumble on the next play from scrimmage. Three plays later, 24-21!!!
6:37 to go in the second.
THREE KC TOUCHDOWNS IN 4:21.
UGH.
EDIT TO ADD: 50 seconds to go second quarter, 28-24!! Comeback complete.
And KC gets the ball to start the second half.
EDIT TO FURTHER ADD: And it was an illegal forward pass on top of it!!!!

Well as the saying goes....Super Bowls are not won;they're awarded. And yes Fox Tv who is televising this years Super Bowl err Superb Owl is creaming in their drawers over getting Aaron Rodgers and the Packers;one of the leagues oldest teams against the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes. And of course State Farm gets to run their two QB commercials endlessly now.
ReplyDeleteI almost cringe at the amount of Refball necessary in San Francisco to pull THAT ONE off, though.
