Chiefs got that TD a little too easily. Bills have only rushed the ball for 34 yards

NFL
Bills have settled well after a shaky start

Might come down to the team making the fewest errors!

That's a great drive by the Bills! TD! Another fumble in the process but recovered

Yeah, both QB's looking shaky ... Allen in the Bills first drive

Mahomes fumbles!! First time since November apparently (Week 11)

Should have been PI for the Chiefs. At no stage did the defender even look at the ball

Eagles 1-6 Chiefs 7-12

The Tennis
And a tremendous final with Madison Keys finally winning a grand slam singles tournament. That's after winning a thrilling SF against Iga Swiatek What stands out most is how hard they hit the ball and constantly trying to hit winners ... great tennis As for the Sinner/ Zverev final tomorrow, if Sinner is at his best, he'll win. Doesn't have an obvious weakness and is methodically great with a dominant serve And his cross-court forehand is just power-laden

The Tennis
The tennis has been fantastic (as it always is) And with players like Alcaraz, Swiatek, Djokovic, Sabalenko & Sinner about, what's not to like? And the Demon of course! Danielle giving it to the mob - magnificent!! Smart, savvy and the lady has got gumption! Novak was correct with his stance and Tony Jones should be tossed. He's an embarrassment to himself and the country

And it's not such a left field scenario either, Gorg. I'd probably have the Chiefs at -3.5 but the Eagles/Washington game as a Pick'em The Commanders have got all the momentum and they're playing with house money

I had to trot off to work but I'm not sure I want to see the dropped catch anyway (listened in via Bills radio) Those moments can stay with you for life. Don't go near social media for starters There's often such a fine line between success and failure 7.00am Monday - (+5.0) Washington @ (-5.0) Philadelphia 10.30am Monday - (+1.5) Buffalo @ (-1.5) Kansas City

Yes, the danger with having the first week off is a rested top seeded team can come out rusty. But the top seeds could always conduct heavily simulated practice on the wild-card weekend (maybe they do that already?) Green Bay succumbed to the Giants in the 2nd week of the playoffs in 2011/12 after a 15 & 1 season. All over in a flash and a really empty feeling In that season, the NY Giants got hot at the business end of the season and ended up winning the SB. In the previous season, the Packers got hot in the playoffs and won it all (as the 6 seed) But I wouldn't change their playoff system, JV. It's incumbent on the seeded team to be ready to go and at their best The issue with Detroit today was that they didn't play very well and looked flat. But that's on them Also, Washington played really really well and committed no errors. They've now won 2 playoff games and have now reached the last 4 One more win and they're in the Super Bowl ... who would have thought?

NFL
The NFC North going 3 and out in the playoffs has exposed a few glaring weaknesses in the division ... Detroit need to strengthen their defence and/or get healthy on defence Minnesota probably need another QB after Darnold got exposed in their last 2 matches Green Bay need to get stronger on defense and with the passing game. The run is ok but another Josh Jacobs type would be handy Bears need a year with Caleb Williams at the helm but need to surround him with a decent running game and not being relied upon re deep passes A greater array of shot cut-out passes with a decent tight end involved wouldn't hurt

So we might get 2 snow games tomorrow if the forecast is right

5 errors is 5 too many for a no.1 seed. No excuses, none I didn't mind the trick play because that defines who the Lions are But to allow the opposition 45 points on your home field is diabolical. Their defense was their achilles-heel going into the playoffs ... and it has played out that way Offense commits the errors placing extra pressure on a dodgy defence It's not quite over but the fat lady is warming up
-
NFL
The Washington defence has been much better in the 2nd half They were 5th in yards allowed in the regular season ... we sometimes see a team that gets 🔥 in the playoffs and it might be the Commanders

NFL
It's all coming apart for the Lions A 15 & 2 season looking like it's down the drain after committing 5 costly errors vs Washinton's zero errors
