Where Does the KC-BUF Duel From Last Night Rank Amongst Non-SB's All Time?

Has to be up there, yes?

It’s no Tebow beating the Steelers, but it’s probably a top 5 all-time postseason performance…

Unless you’re a fan of defense. People that like a good defensive battle probably put it bottom 5 all-time.

I need a list of past great non super bowl playoff games.

but you clearly haven't watched football longer than 20 minutes

That’s why I said probably. I’m not watching every playoff game ever played. I’ll leave that to dudes that have nothing better to do.

Greatest game I ever saw was the SD-Miami playoff game. I would put the KC-Buffalo game 2nd. Though for the 2 best teams going at each other, nothing could top the early 90's Cowboys vs 49ers playoff games. Hard to imagine a game with more combined HOFer's

I put last nights game at number one all time. Even though I was pulling for the Bills the game, and especially the last 2 minutes, was incredible.

The only other playoff games that had me holding my breath like that were SF@Seattle NFCCG, Green Bay @ Seattle NFCCG, and Seattle vs Pats in the SB. And those ones clearly stick out to me because I'm Hawk fan, but they were all great games (endings) even if you weren't a Hawk's fan.

I feel the same with regards to being a Dallas fan.
ask SF about Staubach...Minnesota too.
The heartbreaks like the 66 & 67 GB championships games. The Catch which launched Montana's greatness.

BUT...I've never seen both QB's play like the two did last night.
GREAT FOOTBALL GAME, hard to see either lose that game.

Drew Pearson pushed off

Packers Cardinals have two memorable ones in recent memory (ok, one of those was in 2009 season, so I guess not that recent depending on age)

Vikings/Saints have good ones, I'm biased to the minneapolis miracle, play that elevated it

Drew Pearson pushed off

were you the fan that threw the orange?

 

[Black Adam]

I still remember the OT loss we took at the hands of the Dolphins('71 i believe). all time great game though. WORST part is it happened on my birthday...

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Great game. Not sure if it's #1 all time though. You can pick and choose those.

I am certain though that this was the best divisional round weekend ever and it isn't even close.

 

[flyingelvis]

Top 5 for me. It was like watching a video game in the last 5 minutes or so.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

It was all right I guess

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

The term "best" is somewhat subjective depending on one's point of view, fandom, D vs O, etc. But this one has to rank very high for excitement level and I can't think of many games where both QBs played this well. Lots of great comebacks over the years but the back and forth from these 2 for the entire game was just fantastic to watch. And the last 2 minutes was amazing.

 

[Janus]

One of the best games ever. Each decade had great games and it may be hard to recall them but when you can 40 and 50 years later, they must have been good San Diego- Miami, Dallas -Minnesota Miami- KC , Hopefully, time will be kind to that game for it deserves it

I wanted Buffalo to win

 

[Clayton]

Imo, Mahomes' most entertaining games would be: KC/Buff 2022, KC/NE 2019, KC/Chargers 2021, KC/LA 2018, KC/DEN 2018

From a Chiefs perspective, the KC/Buffalo game is definitely ahead of the KC/NE game where they were on the other side of the coin flip. I know most fans really like the Chiefs v Rams game but Mahomes kinda ran out of time at the end so from a KC fans perspective I wouldn't rate it as highly as some of the others. The KC/DEN game was partially a collapse by Denver at the end but that game was incredible and I highly recommend going back and watching the highlights if you don't remember it.

UK Cowboy mentioned that Miami-SD game. Thats definitely one of the better games of all time if not the best.

Agreed. Needed more TDs in the final minute…
