Judging NFL playoff overreactions: How far can an injured QB take you?

The whole Overreactions thing can get in your head, man. Like, I've been watching the Bengals for the past two months thinking, "What if they're really the best team in the league and most people just haven't realized it yet?" and wondering if I was overreacting.

I'm starting to think I was not.

In the press box Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium, after Patrick Mahomes sprained his ankle, someone sitting near me professed aloud a belief that the Chiefs could not win the game if he didn't come back 100 percent. That, I thought, is an overreaction.
