Brady in yet another Conference Championship game. His stats weren't the most overwhelming (though if you look back, his stats often haven't been in the playoffs), he didn't commit many errors and Tampa are in the NFC Conference Finals. They faceoff in Green Bay, which will be an issue for a lot of the Tampa players. So Green Bay will be the favorite, but Tom Brady is Tom Brady. And you can never count him out.
Bills and Chiefs, based on this weekend, the Bills are the favorite, but the Playoffs are always a reset week after week and its a system verses system matchup. The good news is that the Chiefs are better on paper, but the bad news is two fold. Mahomes could be problematic with a head injury and foot injury. The worst part, yes, KC and Reid finally broke through last year, but they are still KC and Reid, notable underachievers late in the playoffs. I think the Bills are the favorites. I found it funny that the TV crews forgot that Buffalo played defense when picking the Ravens because of their defense.
Browns put up a hellof an effort.
Yes, KC had problems when Mahomes left, but Cleveland did make the game close. If not for a(nother) fumble at the goal line, the outcome could have been different. Cleveland had a wonderful season this year. Even going out very respectably in the playoffs.
Next year will be interesting. Everyone makes these unfortunate assumptions that inertia is the rule of law in the NFL for good teams, but it isn't, and the NFL is always adapting, so hopefully the coaching for the Browns can keep up and they can finish 10-6 to 12-4 next season.
