Here it is Wednesday the 23rd of January. The NFL conference championships were held on the 20th, 3 days ago. My predictions are therefore a little late, so we’ll dispense with those and just publish the results of the games, both of which went into overtime:
- New England Patriots over Kansas City Chiefs 36-31. The Chiefs forgot to play in the first half, but that was quite the last quarter we all saw. In overtime, Patriots took possession on the coin toss and marched down the field and score a touchdown – game over.
- Los Angeles Rams over the New Orleans Saints 26-23. That certainly was a missed pass interference which should have been called on the Rams in the waning minutes of the game. It is arguably a no-call that resulted in a missed opportunity for the Saints to be in the Superbowl. Instead, as it was, the Rams won in overtime with a field goal.
