Week in Review: CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY EDITION
Miss anything this week? All links inside...
Good afternoon, Go Long readers! As we close in on the NFC and AFC Championship Games, here are our stories and podcasts from the week to get you set. I’ll also be sure to share a link to the Gameday Chat via email. We’ll dissect both games all evening, and then I’ll record a postgame show on Substack Live following the Bills-Chiefs nightcap.
Enjoy the games.
Thank You for making Go Long part of your life.
The Chiefs have owned Buffalo in the postseason. Are those fateful “13 Seconds” still haunting this team? Last year’s Wide Right? I caught up with Von Miller, Rasul Douglas, Jordan Phillips, Alec Anderson, Curtis Samuel and Dion Dawkins this week to get a gauge of this team’s mentality. They believe this (new) roster is ready to slay the king.
Of course, this all began in the 2017 NFL Draft. Chatted again with former GM Doug Whaley about that weekend. Yes, the man who owns the Buffalo Bills loved Patrick Mahomes before anyone else. What happened?
Nobody understands the sport’s history quite like Michael MacCambridge, who authored a three-part series on Kansas City’s three-peat bid during the summer. We discuss the matchup through a Chiefs’ scope on the podcast.
The Dallas Cowboys are not a serious football operation. Take it from those who’ve seen how Jerry and Stephen Jones run the show up close. I explored the organizational rot in this piece.
