The One Where the Patriots Go to the AFC Championship



Yesterday, it became evident that we, as a family, have finally hit that stage where it is fun to watch a football game together because we watched the AFC playoff game between the Patriots and Kansas City chiefs.


Sure, Bri and Kiff may not have been totally focused on the game, but with all the snacks we were serving, who could blame them.


We had a ton of fun watching the game. The Patriots played well with all of their injured players making a return. It was like the Patriots of earlier in the season as they raced out to an impressive lead and the defense was able to contain the chiefs...until they made a late score with 1:18 in the game to make it tight.


Still, the Patriots were able to win 27-20 and advance to their fifth AFC championship in a row (and 11th in the 22 years that Robert Kraft has owned the team...and 10th since Tom Brady has played. Wow). The only other team to go to 5 straight conference championships were the Raiders from 1973 to 1977.  Impressive.

Go Pats!
