Temperature went below 50, and the Chargers fell apart. What a dismal performance.

Well, that went a bit easier than I expected for the Patriots. Have no idea what to expect in Kansas City.
Saints beat the Eagles after the Saints remember how to play defense.
Eagles Saints game was pretty good. I didn’t think the Eagles were going to close the deal. Saints looked confident throughout the game.
Forecast from way on out... for Sunday in Kansas City (the 6:30 PM game... yeah, the dome team in New Orleans plays the afternoon game, granted, only people in Kansas City are aware of what the weather is like during this time of year, so that might explain the oversight)...
Mostly sunny. Frigid. Highs around 18. Wind chill
readings 10 below to 15 below zero in the morning.
Funny that Rivers still threw for 331 yds, had 3 TDs and just 1 INT. Granted, about 2/3's of that was when the Patriots weren't trying.
I was laughing in disbelief during parts of the first half. After the initial drive, I remarked, if the Chargers can't stop the Patriots running game, this thing is over. Then the Chargers scored quickly and my Dad noted it'd be a shoot out and I said, but if the Chargers can't stop the Patriots running game, the Pats won't lose. The Patriots did everything they wanted on the field.
In general, it seems to be which system plays better against the other system on the field. And now I'm doing my best to ignore the outcome for the Kansas City game. What happened in New England was Belicheck out coached San Diego. The Charger defense kept on playing against a team that was playing 3rd and long, despite being manhandled, and the Patriots played very well on defense, obliterating the Chargers running game.
Getting closer to the Maroon 5 halftime show !
I’m hoping the Rams go through and I am quietly confident they will squeak through after a thoroughly entertaining game.
I don’t have a preference as to who wins the other game. I think the Pats will probably win though. And get destroyed in the Super Bowl by the Rams.
Rams squeak through !! Brilliant effort but a little bit lucky with one of the non calls.
Open to interpretation I guess. Rules during playoffs can get a bit fuzzy.
