Six time All-Pro Center Jason Kelce announced his retirement to his teammates in the locker room after lasts night defeat.

15 Chiefs fans were admitted to hospital on Saturday after temperatures at kick-off were-4 degrees -27 windchill. At least 7 were treated for hypothermia & 3 for frostbite.

Green Bay's win in Dallas was a shocking score. I thought it was possible for the Packers to win, but not by such a big margin.

Some bookies are making Kansas City underdogs against Buffalo. I'm surprised about that, why do you guys think that's the case? Ok Buffalo are at home but it can't be the cold conditions as the reason can it - I mean it was arctic conditions in Kansas City when the Chiefs destroyed the Dolphins. QB Patrick Mahomes has been incredible this season.

I was a little surprised that the Packers were able to score at will in the first half, the Cowboys have a decent defense. Too much expectation on Dallas with the drought for a Super Bowl. Their offense is simplistic, but credit to the Packers for having a great gameplan, Prescott was sacked 4 times & picked off twice.
The bookies have the Niners 10 point favourites which I think is an insult to the Packers. Jordan Love looks a better prospect than Brock Purdy.

The Chiefs Bills game is the most exciting match-up, I expect it to be close. Currently, I like what I see from Josh Allen, but Mahomes is hard to back against.

Yes, I suppose the pressure and expectation is always high on the Cowboys. In almost every game weekend the pundits refer to them as "America's Team". Well done to Green Bay though. I've spoken before about my admiration for their achievements historically and how Aaron Rodgers became one of my sporting heroes.

Yeah I often feel the bookies odds are way off the mark when it comes to both the points spread and money line offers. A 10 points prediction for San Francisco is definitely an insult on Green Bay. Lots of the predictions they've come up with have been staggeringly wrong this season.

Absolutely Chiefs Vs Bills should be the form clash of the round and how about those Lions? What a story.

The 49ers have been the Packers kryptonite in the playoffs. If Jordan Love makes throws like he did against the Cowboys, I'd expect a close game. 49ers are tough to beat, and they can pull ahead quick in games

C.J. Stroud has been amazing this season. It's a tall order for him to go on the road and beat the Ravens. I'm not counting him out, but they need get up early. At the very least stay within striking distance of the Ravens. The Ravens have hardly trailed all season. Even their losses were mostly last second field goals.

Lions vs Bucs should be interesting. The Lions are the feel good team of the NFL now that they've gotten over the Playoff Hump. That crowd is going to be super loud.

Bills vs Chiefs, anything can happen. Not counting Super Bowls, it's Mahomes first Road Playoff Game.

Jason has now stated that no decision has been made on his retirement as immediately after a game was too soon.

^ When I saw the name Kelce I thought that it was the guys who dating Taylor Swift.
It turns out that this guy is Travis who is Jason's brother.

^^ The brothers do a regular Podcast together called New Heights.
