Now that Vrabel and Drake Maye are on the board, every post season game is legacy ball. Very serious “MVP” candidate (as lame as that award can be), on a top seed, out-of-nowhere team, absurdly soon (in NFL years) after a two decade long dynasty, coached by a Red Jacket from the first era.
The difference in trajectories between wins and losses soon is huge. Would rather face a 7 seed Mahomes in Gillette than have to go to Mile High. Home field advantage is huge. Need the Broncos to start dropping games.
It’s such a turning of the page for the AFC all around that whoever has home field advantage is going to have a loud as fuck crowd. All the pink hats from every franchise have cleared out. Home playoff games are probably going to be a buzz saw this year for New England, Pittsburgh, Denver, and Indianapolis.
Mahomes and/or the Jags/Colts in a loud AF Gillette stadium snow game in January.
Easy money.
