NFL Championship Sunday Recap: Chiefs/Ravens, Lions/49ers
Kevin recaps a wild Championship Sunday in the NFL as we prepare for Super Bowl LVIII.The Chiefs knocked off the Ravens in Baltimore and Kevin believes that we're at the point where nothing in the regular season matters for the Chiefs anymore. It's foolish to bet against them because even through struggles they find themselves and prove their doubters wrong. Patrick Mahomes is the Michael Jordan of his generation because he is shaping the careers of the star Quarterbacks he's playing against. The Ravens were dominated by Steve Spagnuolo, while Todd Monken seemed to be designing a Lamar Jackson masterclass instead of trying to win the game.Kevin's main takeaway from the Lions loss: Dan Campbell can't change who he is. If you're going to change your philosophy when it gets scary you're going to lose games, and that's why he doesn't fault Campbell for going for it on fourth down. Learn more about your ad choices.
