He had the ability to essentially demoralize us with points at the end of the half and then get the ball back to start the second half when we had shown zero ability to stop them. Instead, he went for it and that stopped fired EVERYONE up. That play changed the entire game! So, am I wrong to think Game Ball Andy Reid?

That was on Mahomes. Reid said the throw was supposed to go into the EZ.

Burrow made so many plays with his legs to keep us in the game. And win the game. Without him we don't get in FG range. I gotta go Burrow. Defense was awesome! WHO DEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's 2 FGs away from tying the most FGs made in a single postseason in NFL history.

Voted the same.  Hopefully in two weeks he'll just have to kick about six XPs

Huh.  I had not seen that.  Regardless, it is on Reid for choosing to go for it instead of kicking the field goal.  I'm pretty sure that Mahomes would have thrown into the end zone if the play was there.  Guessing everyone was well covered, thus the check down pass.

We are going to the fking SUPER BOWLLLLLL

Other...Lou for whatever voodoo he pulled out at halftime.

That second half defense was insane. It just does not make sense. Our pass defense is not that good.

"Don't Fear the Reaper."

One poster on here suggested a meme with Mahomes as the grim reaper in the foreground and Burrow in the background smoking a cigar.

Someone please make it happen.

I think at some point they figured out the refs were not going to call defensive holding and adjusted accordingly.

Joe Burrow never shows any quit

Mixon was showing big heart out there today

Higgins stepped up when the bengals really needed it

MacDaddy is incredible and just 4 years out of high school, dude has ice water running through his veins already. Records will tumble from his leg

But think it has to go to the defense who held a potent KC offense to 3 points in the entire second half and OT. Remarkable feat AGAIN.

So its between Hubbard and BJ and both are very worthy as well as everybody listed.

But BJ Hill picking off ball in the AFC Championship game against Mahomes, when the Bengals needed it the most got his very first INT of his career and gets my vote.

Yet could have just closed my eyes and thrown a dart at the names and hit a worthy game ball recipient.

I thought the Chiefs jumped early, too, but oh well. Didn’t end up mattering.

Bj hill... The int was a complete game changer.

Hill changed the game.

We don't win that game without the defence. Might have been a blowout. The Chiefs put up 42 points and 42 points in the past 2 weeks. Our defence gives up 21 in a half, and then almost shuts out that same offence in the next half and a drive. Can't think of one guy who made the absolute difference, but that Hill pick was a huge swing on it's own. But every stop we got in that 2nd half was huge too.

Yeah in this case I'd say Lou if it's one person.  The way the defense made stops and handled Mahones in the 2nd half was again a thing of beauty.  

1000 percent has to be the entire defensive unit. I jumped to the end so not sure if anyone posted it but I'm curious about the post game locker room. Specifically who Taylor gave the game ball to? Had to be the Defense.

I voted BJ Hill. Had the pick. But it could've gone to just about anybody on defense. Really liked the big runs at the end by Mixon.

This is my pick too. Not only was it a huge play, when we needed it, but to me it was also the tipping point for when mahomes went from Superman to Akili Smith.

Funny to think about the grand scheme of things, that Billy Price selection doesn't look so bad right about now.

this one was tough, I selected BJ, as any sane man would

I'm split between Hubbard and BJ. The sacks and the pick and the fumble... Mahomes seemed genuinely rattled. The secondary was playing great man, but that line was giving Mahomes nightmares and it showed.

Mad credit to the offense for once again rebounding in the second half and finding a way to make it work (and without Uzo). But that defense was lights out against an insane offense and I've got to give them the ball. Going into the game, I figured they'd be the make or break, and wow did they deliver.

This right here. The no calls of this crew left me scratching my head. There was offensive and defensive holding all over the place. When apple got flagged I thought for sure he must have mugged him. He did but In the context of what they didn’t call it wasn’t horrid. That’s how lax they were
