Chiefs - Browns NFL Playoff game thread

The touchback rule is the most costly call in football.

Cleveland would have 1st and goal at the one. Higgens dives for the end zone, the ball comes free and goes out of the end zone....touchback. Chiefs get the ball on the 20........ it was the correct call, but does not seem like a good rule.

I agree too harsh . Should get the ball back at the point of the fumble or the one yard line if fumble occurs inside the one .

Agree...penalty for that fumble far exceeds the violation...rules committee should strongly consider changing
 
Why does every ball carrier nearing a TD being tackled , have to stretch that ball out?
Unless it's the last play or 4th and goal, it's risky for the reason we just seen, it's stupid, selfish and it caused a 10 pt. swing.

Right call officially, minus the targeting.

Unless you're Indiana.

That same play is likely a Targeting call in college.

Was a clear penalty in NFL - they just failed to throw the flag. Again, that specific hit ("Spearing") has ALWAYS been illegal, it's just been incorporated into new Targetting Rule.
 
The Browns would have been better off not throwing a pick there. That’s just me.
 
Chad Henne in for the Chiefs. 13 year career in the NFL. Good for him. Though he still screwed us! LOL
 
If Mahomes has a concussion he cannot play next week right? Looks like Bills going to the super bowl.
 
Andy Reid gets special recognition for calling a QB option and getting his $400 million, MVP QB hurt. Mahomes already had a foot injury. SMH.

Cleveland is going to win. Perfect storm. Missed KC FG and XP. And Mahomes gets hurt on an awful play call.

It was plain to see that Mahomes was concussed but I didn’t see any direct blow to his head. How did it happen?
