The guys who got hosed the most were the guys who played on Monday Night. And we got an extra day this week by playing on Saturday last week.
What I meant by choice playoff time slots is it reflects who the NFL thinks is the better draw. Sunday evening is much more prime time than the first Saturday game.
I can't tell you how many people I ran into who missed the Saturday game because Saturday is either a work day or be busy doing domestic duties. Sunday evening is the place you put teams you think will be the biggest draw. And the NFL was correct in that assessment. I just believe they also figure KC and Mahomes will be the bigger draw in the Super Bowl. And the league is all about making money.
I just don't imagine this referee crew was chosen by accident.
