Sammy Davis Jr. sang about it way back in 1955: “When an irresistible force such as you meets an old immovable object like me, you can bet as sure as you live – something’s gotta give.”
The lyrics feel especially appropriate for this weekend’s big clash between the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs are that “irresistible force” taking the NFL by storm, spearheaded by a young and exciting MVP-frontrunner in quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
The Patriots are perfectly cast as the “old immovable object,” the 800-pound gorilla planted firmly atop the conference for nearly two decades now.
