When the NFL season got underway, most pundits and sports betting enthusiasts had the Kansas City Chiefs as the favorites for Super Bowl glory and their quarterback Patrick Mahomes as the likely NFL MVP, but while the Arrowhead Stadium side is sitting pretty at the top of the AFC West, it would be fair to say that their star player hasn’t been performing all that well.

According to the Yale Book of Quotations, it was Texas Tech sports information director Ralph Carpenter who deserves credit for coining the phrase “It ain’t over until the fat lady sings,” forever interring it into the sporting lexicon.

Oh, what a difference a year makes. A mere 365 days ago, the sports universe happily descended on Miami, with an estimated 150,000 visitors and another several thousand media members spending up to a full week on the ground in preparation for what would turn out to be a 31-20 Kansas City Chiefs triumph over the San Francisco 49ers.

This weekend not only represents the beginning of the NFL postseason, but also perhaps the living embodiment of every football fans collective dreams coming true. For the first time ever, lovers of the great game will have the opportunity to watch a grand total of six postseason games, presented via tripleheaders on both Saturday and Sunday. Thank you brand new playoff format for making dreams come true! Well, more specifically, thank you Roger Goodell!
