I didn't want to necessarily tack on another post-game thread -- but I didn't see this particular subject out there. Forgive me if I missed it.

Basically, I just wondered if anyone else has noticed that some outlets are leaning towards a more "if Mahomes had done this or that" narrative, in lieu of "the Bengals were great" kind of assessment. I know Monday morning quarterbacking is pretty much par for the course, but you don't usually hear this about the "usual suspect" so-to-speak "better" franchises. They usually just tout the winning team's success and not the losing team's shortfalls, as if, if not exclusively for those shortfalls, the roles would be reversed. Know what I mean?  

Is it just me...?  

I think a team up 3 possessions giving up 21 unanswered points is really embarrassing for the Chiefs and, to the uninformed or casual viewer, I would blame that team more than I'd credit the other team as well.

But we know the truth.

Burrow went out and took that game and Patrick's soul. 

Burrow avoided at least 3 sacks or 3rd down scrambles for a first down that made both me and my dad say "How did he get out of that!?"
