Our next most popular answer was played by 4 contestants. The Minnesota Vikings season started bad, then battled back to .500, then got derailed for good with Kirk Cousins' injury. They missed the playoffs this year.

Our next corrects are a pair of 3-point answers. It seems like the shocking playoff collapse the Los Angeles Chargers had in last year's playoffs represented the high water mark of the Brandon Staley Era. They still have a quarterback, and some pricey defensive players that might still be good, but they missed the playoffs this year.

Also played by 3 players, our next correct is the Seattle Seahawks. It's the end of an era, as Pete Carroll is moving on. Big shoutout to Bobby Wagner, who even at this stage of his career, finished the season top 10 in tackles. They missed the playoffs this season.

There were no aces for this question. Question 22 closes with a pair of 2-point answers.

The Jacksonville Jaguars had a pretty epic late season collapse, after leading the division for much of the season. They missed the playoffs in 2023.

Our final two point correct was played by yours truly, and one other (ace-BLOCKER). I never root for injuries, but when Joe Burrow went down, I felt like I had this pick sewn up. The Cincinnati Bengals lost a bunch of quality defensive players, notably Jesse Bates... who is completely awesome, and worth every penny he's making. The Bengals finished a game over .500, and in last place in a tough division.

The LARGEST SHEEP IN THE TOURNAMENT was played by 17 players. The Los Angeles Chargers had TWO chances to beat the Chiefs, including a meaningless Week 18 game when the Chiefs were locked into the 3 seed, but came up short both times.

Our next incorrect was played by 2 players, including yours truly. I went with the Minnesota Vikings, and I think Jefferson was out for that game. Anyway, they lost to the Chiefs 27-20.

The remaining incorrects are would-be ace hunters.

The Miami Dolphins were defeated by the Chiefs in Germany.

The New England Patriots lost by 10 back in Week 15.

The New York Jets kept it close, but lost to the Chiefs by 3 in Week 4.

The only unplayed correct answer, of all teams, were the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl rematch! The Eagles won 21-17 back in Week 11, giving them their 10-1 start.

...It all went sideways after that, at least for the regular season!

This question's most popular correct answer was the Las Vegas Raiders. They haven't been a great team the last few years, but they always seem to play the Chiefs tough. The Raiders lost the first matchup, but went into Arrowhead and got the win 20-14 in Week 16.

Our next corrects are a pair of 3-pointers. The Detroit Lions ended the drama for this question early, by winning the NFL kickoff game in thrilling fashion back in Week 1.

Our next 3-point correct was somewhat surprising when it happened, but it was the start of the Denver Broncos playing much better than they showed in the early part of the season. The Broncos made Mahomes look about as bad as he's ever looked in the regular season, getting the win 24-9.

Our next correct was played by 2 players. The Buffalo Bills got the monkey off their backs, and beat the Chiefs in Arrowhead 20-17. It won't erase the 00:13 game, but if the Bills win tomorrow, they get the Chiefs to come to Orchard Park next week!

Question 23 closes with one lone ace... when the HOMER pick comes in for the WIN! The Green Bay Packers have gotten better in every game they played this year, and they beat the Chiefs 27-19 in Week 13.
