KANSAS CITY - The teams playing in the NFC and AFC championship games ought to provide us with a moment of clarity, as far as what is important in the NFL of 2017.
The quarterbacks involved are Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger and Matt Ryan. Brady, Rodgers and Roethlisberger will one day grace the Hall of Fame. Ryan is the favorite to win the NFL MVP award this season.
For a while there, it was fun pretending that elite quarterbacking wasn't as important as it has been for the past 15 years or so.
