Hope vs Expect

You did better than me. I don't know if I expected anything until we were clearly in FG range at the end. 

I was excited for what this team ( and by that I mean what Burrow would do in first playoff appearance). But this team has just been getting it done the postseason. That defensive performance in the 2nd half was insane. I didn't think there was anyway we would duplicate the 2nd half performance from week 17.
