I know I'm late to the party but I only just finished watching teh AFC game after work (wasn't staying up to watch that even though it was the better game).

Shanahan lost that game for SF. Why the hell not challenge that play? It's the championship game, throw the red flag! And he knows he has 1 good QB left to him but he has a TE blocking the blindside end? Come on. And once Purdy went down I feel his demeanour set a bad tone for the team. A lot of haranguing the officials and getting upset; his D then started playing with really poor discipline. I don't want a cold fish HC but you have to set an example for your team, and I think he set a bad one.

Taylor also lost it a bit with the officiating shit show, and maybe that contributed to the late penalty, but realistically it was his OL injuries that probably lost that game for Cincy. Had they kept Burrow upright early on, KC may well have been chasing that game. Mahomes though, has to get kudos for playing through the pain. I hope he's OK for SB Sunday, not least because I want the Eagles to lose, but at least so we have a competitive, entertaining game. If he's not, the Eagles D may well eat him alive.

I wanted to see 49ers vs Bengals, and Bengals win, but now all I (we?) can hope for is another KC ring.
