Patriots are now back tied with Denver for Top Seed in AFC

Ugh
3 of the AFC semi finalists last year out of the playoffs right now lmao
Need to win that Buffalo game.
KC is missing the playoffs lmao
Is division record not the tiebreaker if the teams haven’t played head-to-head? Shouldn’t Pats be 1 seed?
Really unhelpful results across the league today. I can see it already. Pats are gonna end up playing in mile high.
5D chess to be the 2 seed so we can play Den on the road in the AFC championship and use our road dog buff.
I was torn on that game. It’s great to see KC struggle but I really don’t want the Patriots going to Denver in January, it never seems to end well.

I really hope the Chiefs just miss entirely so they/the league can’t work any voodoo during the playoffs
I don’t hate it. Would rather face Denver in the playoffs than KC with Mahomes
Denver can lose later, let em beat KC!
Not tied. They’re in second place. If the season ended today Denver would get the bye.
Come on. This isn’t a micky mouse sports town. Call it like it is.
Bucs fucked us today but at least Denver, the Jags, and Texans all came through.
It hurts the Chiefs chances, so it’s fine by me. If we have to go to Denver for the AFC Championship, so be it.
What would the tiebreaker be
I don’t even care if we don’t get the 1 seed if it means KC misses the playoffs.
Since this involved beating KC I’m kinda ok with it.
Ima be real some of these comments rub me the wrong way. Like goddamn if we’re so fucking worried about Team A winning so that Team B misses, etc.. why do yall even want to make the playoffs? I see a Pats team that is good on both sides of the football. The “powerhouses” of the AFC dont look all that scary. Bills pulled one out but we beat the same team IN Tampa. Ravens had a tough time against Cleveland. Broncos defense is unreal but idk bout that offense still. Chiefs just lost to em. Have some faith and stop begging teams to lose just for seeding purposes.
Why are we #2?
Watching the Chiefs lose after the unbalanced officiating was great though. Bucs were the true let downs today
Uncanny the number of wins the Broncos have sealed won at the last second. I think at least 3 as time expired?
Peyton and Brady on top, figures. And this Luck guy looking good in Indiana as well.
Chiefs can’t do anything right
KC is still going to make it somehow, not rooting for it, but they are.
Let the Maye/Nix rivalry commence
Honestly didnt know who i wanted to win. On the one hand, it’d been nice to see the Patriots in sole possession of first place in the AFC for another week. On the other, its difficult, if not impossible, to believe the Broncos would be a tougher opponent in the playoffs than Mahomes and the Chiefs.
Ultimately, I’ll always have that Darth Hoodie sith way of thinking: don’t spend a moment worrying about something you can’t control. Let the chips fall where they may, and plan on beating whichever opponent shows up.
Denver can lose a different game. Let em beat the Chiefs
May be in the monitory, but I’d rather have the Chiefs it make it so I’m glad the Broncos won.
