In the AFC Championship it was KC who was behind and the defense rose to the occasion and held them to a regulation ending tying field goal. Then got an interception and drove to a field goal in OT
Against the Raiders we held the 26-19 lead and came up with the last second INT to ice the game. That’s not a fluke. We led almost the entire game.
The Titans game was close the whole game. The lead changed hands but the game was tied when we got the last minute interception. How is that any different than Jimmy Garrapolo throwing a late pick to lose to LA? It’s not
In the regular season game with KC we took the lead in the fourth and it was the Bengals defense that held KC to a tying field goal. Then we went on a consuming 6 minute drive to go win the game and keep the ball out of Patrick Mahomes hands as time expired.
Such a false narrative by Fred
This.

More importantly, so your only definition that our playoff/Super Bowl run was flukey was because 4 games were decided on last plays? So, our defense was just lucky to get those INTs? McPherson was just lucky to make those FGs? GTFOH None of those plays were the result of luck. They were the result of skills, scheme, etc.
I usually agree with you in Jungle Noise, fred, but the only way one can say we were lucky/a fluke is due to our health and even then some have pointed out that we weren't that unusally healthy during the playoffs last year.
And this. Don't forget instincts, Pratt, Wilson, Hilton, Bates, Bell making timely interceptions in the clutch...

No doubt.
