Holy shit, from winning a playoff game to this in 30 seconds. This changes the rest of the AFC playoff picture in a big way.

    Sounds like it was the second to last play. So the kneeldown sort of thing they did to try to set up the ball in the center of the field for the kick? It’s crazy because he was interviewed on the field just after the game and didn’t seem to be having any issues. How do you go from that to needing surgery so quickly? Did his foot come off with his shoe when he got back to the locker room?

    Weird but I did notice the kneel down was a bit awkward, and then they took the timeout for the kick. I don't know how many bad ways there are to end a season, but that's gotta be up there with the worst.

    Bears fan checking in. We saw our team perform 7 miracles this season and then it looked like they were gonna do it and 8th time. Just when we had started to accept that might just now how they are.

    Would it have been better if you barely won a beat down brawler for the right to play for a Conference Championship title with one of the biggest home field advantages in the league, except your QB is out for the season and one of your rivals virtually guaranteed to be the ones getting crowned in your house?

    I just checked the last drive in OT and yeah, he was playing. If the Broncos go on to get destroyed next week, then the Bills will have lost for nothing. Like, the Broncos eliminating the Bills and then immediately bowing out.

    There's only evil in this world. It's a dark world. A broken world.

    Less than a month in and 2026 is already the worst year ever.

    Bummer. I’m hoping Pats clear the Texans but I wouldn’t want the path to the Super Bowl to be marred by being “easy”.

    That's wild. I'm a Chiefs fan but I feel for Nix and the Donks. Injuries suck and that is a garbage way to end his outstanding season.
