- Here is what "Inside The NFL" captured... "We want the ball." - Kyle Shanahan "They wanted it, baby!" - Patrick Mahomes "They want it, they can have it." - Travis Kelce
00:43Travis Kelce was stunned the 49ers chose to take the ball first in overtime 😬 - “With your first experience in Vegas — what did you think?” “On earth, it’s probably the closest thing to a dystopia.” - Victor Wembanyama 😂
00:00 - Two QBs have engineered an offense on the road in the playoffs with 0 punts and 0 turnovers... 2024 Jayden Daniels 2003 Peyton Manning
- In the Chiefs last 7 OT games, they won the coin toss 6 times. The one time they didn't? Last year's Super Bowl, where they went on to win anyway.
- Since 2019, the Chiefs are now 5-1 when trailing by 10+ points at any point in the playoffs. The rest of the NFL is 6-48 in those games in that span.
- Bills stadium at 1p ET today — the original kickoff of the game, before it moved to tomorrow at 4:30p ET (for now).
00:00 - -14.5 vs. Raptors ❌ -12 vs. Grizzlies ❌ -12.5 vs. Wizards ❌ Bucks are the first team in the last 30 years to lose three straight games outright as double-digit favorites.
- New York Governor Kathy Hochul addressing the weather & Steelers fans: “We think it's just better if you (Steelers fans) stay home and tune in on television. It's going to be safer for all of us. It's going to be a rough game for you anyhow."
00:00 - 31-19-12 has been done once in playoff history: Oscar Robertson in 1963. Nikola Jokic just did it in three quarters.
GIF - Most profitable QB against the spread... + Since 2022: Jared Goff (15-6 ATS) + Since 2021: Jared Goff (24-11 ATS) + Since 2020: Jared Goff (32-19 ATS) + Since 2019: Jared Goff (42-24-1 ATS) + Since 2018: Jared Goff (51-33-2 ATS) + Since 2017: Jared Goff (60-40-2 ATS)
- Doc Rivers has the most blown series leads in NBA history... PHI: 2023: 3-2 lead 2021: 2-1 LAC: 2020: 3-1 2017: 2-1 2016: 2-0 2015: 3-1 2014: 1-0 BOS: 2012: 3-2 2010: 3-2 2009: 3-2 2005: 1-0 ORL: 2003: 3-1
- Cowboys/Eagles total was 47.5 -- after 41 first half pts and just 3 second half pts, the under cashes... Games with 40+ pts in the first half, with a full game O/U below 50, were 172-1 to the over last 20 yrs -- now 172-2.
