It’ll be hard for Championship Sunday to compete with the football we all witnessed in the divisional round. All four playoff games were decided in the final moments on either a last-second field goal or touchdown. And in the case of the incomparable Kansas City Chiefs-Buffalo Bills showdown, the final moments featured both.
But last week wasn’t the apex of the NFL season — it was only the second round of the playoffs. All four teams still have two games to go before they can hoist the Lombardi Trophy. So with the emotional highs of last-second victory fresh on everyone’s mind, the threat of a subsequent letdown exists.
