The NFL playoffs are the most riveting in sports, Tribune columnist Gordon Monson writes, with all the drama wrapped up in a few hours each week, now or never. No second chances. No room for goof-ups.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes celebrates after throwing a touchdown pass Sunday evening.The NFL has a distinction that does what distinctions do.Anyone who watched the games on Sunday would likely agree.If those games didn’t scratch your sports itch, then there is no itch to scratch.Not as long as Tom Brady is in the huddle.
Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen, two of the great young quarterbacks in the game, went after each other, or after each other’s opposing defense, and the result was a stirring win for Kansas City. The Chiefs won the coin flip at the start of OT, and that’s what it took to give them the ball and, as it turned out, the victory.
It’s cooler, though, to see that drama unfold now, inside of four quarters. The ebbs and the flows, the immediate changes in strategy and mood, the necessity to recover from adversity in the present, to bounce back from an onslaught and respond right away.
