Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (15) is thrilled with victory as the Chiefs defeat the Buffalo Bills at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City in the AFC Championship game on Sun Jan 26, 2025

On Super Bowl LIX podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had himself an afternoon against the Washington Commanders running for a 60 yard touchdown on the Eagles first play and had a total of 118 yards and three touchdowns.

#2 For Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts for him and his teammates it’s their second trip to the Super Bowl in three seasons and for Barkley it’s his first with the Eagles.

#3 The 55 points in Sunday’s game in Philadelphia is the most that any team had scored in a NFL Championship game since the merging of the NFL and AFL in 1970.

#4 Quite an afternoon for the Kansas City Chiefs defeating the Buffalo Bills. The Chiefs were favored by a 1.5 and that prediction was pretty close as the Chiefs advance to the Super Bowl defeating the Buffalo Bills at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday 32-29.

#5 Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes went 18-26, 245 yards, and threw for one touchdown and this was not an easy one but Mahomes kept the Chiefs in a close game.

On Headline Sports with Charlie O:

#1 Charlie the NFC Championship kicks off all the excitement of post season football between those Cinderella Washington Commanders and the favored Philadelphia Eagles.

#2 In last week’s games, Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels was key in defeating the heavily favored Detroit Lions last week going 22-31, 299 yards, two touchdowns. For the Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts 15-20, 126 yards and no touchdown passes to beat the Los Angeles Rams.

#3 In the AFC Championship the Buffalo Bills are one of only two teams to have beaten their opponent the Kansas City Chiefs during the regular season back on Nov 17th 30-17. There also had been an outcry that the officiating is favoring the Chiefs in these post season gams.

#4 The Bills in the AFC Division game last week edged the Baltimore Ravens 27-25. The Bills just got by the Ravens and head coach John Harbaugh in a nip and tuck game. The game boiled down to a missed two point conversion on a pass from the Ravens quarterback LaMar Jackson on a 24 yard pass intended for wide receiver Isaiah Likely failing to tie the game and a two point difference going to the Chiefs.

#5 Charlie it boils down to today’s two NFL Championship games who do you see getting to the Super Bowl and can you see anyone of these two games being a nailbiter?

Oakland host Philadelphia Sunday looking to reach .500

OAKLAND — After gutting out a 21-18  home victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday, the Raiders can reach the .500 mark with a win over another team from the Keystone State, when they host the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday at O.co Coliseum. This will mark the fifth straight sellout for the Silver and Black this season.

The game will be seen locally on Fox KTVU Channel 2 in the Bay Area.

Terrelle Pryor took the first snap of the game and blazed past a slow and old Steelers defense for a 93-yard touchdown. Pryor’s touchdown run was the longest in NFL history by a quarterback, and broke running back Bo Jackson’s franchise record 92-yard touchdown run set in 1989.

Running back Darren McFadden played a key role in the running, racking up 73 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries.

But the strength of the team was the play of Oakland’s (3-4) 10th ranked defense. Oakland’s defense limited Pittsburgh (2-5) to 276 yards of total offense and intercepted Ben Roethlisberger twice and sacking the Steeler’s quarterback five times.

Philadelphia (3-5) is coming off a 15-7 home loss against NFC East rival, the New York Giants. The Eagles looked inept on offense, and was nearly shutout by the Giants if it weren’t for an Eagles’ touchdown on special teams late in the fourth quarter.

Nick Foles, who has been cleared after suffering a concussion against the Dallas Cowboys two weeks ago, is expected to start for Philadelphia in place of Michael Vick. Vick left last weekend’s game  with a pulled hamstring after passing for 158 yards. Third-string rookie quarterback Matt Barkley finished the game for Philadelphia.

Let’s face it, the Eagles are a bad football team that has been playing musical chairs at the quarterback position. Oakland should feed off from a strong defensive effort and raucously loud crowd against Pittsburgh, and continue that intensity against Philadelphia.

.500 mark for Oakland? Could be in the cards.
