I feel like I’m living in an alternate universe where Ryan Tannehill just beat the New England Patriots in the playoffs.

Thank you Tennessee, now I can enjoy the rest of the playoffs.

Not going for it on 4th and 6 felt like a terrible decision for the Pats late. I don't like when teams punt there and hope to use their timeouts. They maybe give up a FG and then get the ball back with solid time left and a chance to win. With the way Henry was running, no way I would have punted.

I would love to see Tennessee shock the world next Sat night but they have to let Tanny play if that's going to happen. They were lucky to get by with such a conservative game plan tonight... won't work next week.

I typically root for the Hood but I’m not sad NE is eliminated. Aside from some defensive highlights agains piss poor competition in the first half of the season, they’ve been unwatchable for the most part. Of course I always watch. Would much rather see Tenn play again.

I'm honestly not very surprised by this outcome.

The biggest thing the Patriots had going for them was the aura of being undefeatable at home in the playoffs and a good defense. But looking at especially the 2nd half of the season their offense looked pretty terrible. Brady looked old, Edelman looked dinged up more often than not, Harry looked like the rookie he is, and... well... that's about their offense really. Tonight was no different, and the Titans beat them deservedly, closer than I thought it would be tbh.

Patriots had the worst record in the AFC East over the last 8 games.

Blake Bortles almost did this a couple of years ago.

Everything comes to an end at some point. Will be very interesting to see how New England approaches this off-season. Not to mention it is not a bad off-season to have a higher 1st round draft pick in. ;)

Duke Williams seems he he was suddenly very involved with 10 targets. He's been on my watch list for some months. Unless/until they start getting consistent TE play, he may earn high snap/target counts with his 6'3" frame.

Vikings getting some bad treatment by the referees so far. Sucks to see that.

So much for Cousins can't win the big game.

Also, so much for Diggs is better than Theilen.

Hopefully we've heard the last of all that nonsense.

I don't think this game settles the second point. I don't think it's worth arguing either. Both are very good and kind of limit each others ceiling in that run first offense.

Don't tell that to Saints fans, they're convinced they got screwed "again". Couldn't happen to a better fanbase.

dang both Brees and Brady look done. Brees looked like he was going to cry from the 4th quarter on, I suppose when he knew it wasn't happening. feel bad for the guy.

having said that, I'd bet both come back next year. or try to?
