Anomaly. We’d be running away with it if it weren’t for KT…

I don't see anything different than the last 3 decades of salary cap era football. Having an extra playoff team just allows 2 more mediocre as crap teams to back that ass up Herm style into the playoffs

The addition of the 7th seed has kept a number of teams relevant for sure. The Saturday games are really cool as well. The only thing I don't like is the Chiefs playing at noon on Christmas. That's just odd scheduling.

I think there’s better parity at the top in that there doesn’t seem to be a dominant team (unless SF shakes off their playoff yips).
But most of the parity is unfortunately that really really bad teams are for some reason in playoff contention. Leaguewide there are too many teams who are awful to the point of being unwatchable. |

Well, at least be glad it's not the NBA, where over half the teams make the playoffs.

The NFC is a dumpster fire. Pretty much every playoff team after Detroit, San Fran, Dallas and Philly could have losing records including the NFC South champ.

I absolutely love having playoff games at Arrowhead, especially the AFC Championship game 5 years in a row. But, if it doesn't happen, so be it. If I'm being honest, I have often wondered (and, in a small way, want to see) how Mahomes would do on the road in the playoffs.

Normally pro leagues take this and introduce offense friendly rules in the offseason. Wonder if that’ll be the case here. I agree that more teams in contention is good for $ even if it’s uglier to watch. I also feel like Vegas must be making bank on this too because ugly football is harder to predict. |
