Ah, the NFL Conference Finals—a day that’s supposed to deliver drama, excitement, and the matchups fans dream about. And what did we get? Well, not quite what we ordered. Instead of the headline-grabbing Bills vs. Commanders showdown that would’ve injected fresh energy into the league’s biggest stage, we’re getting a repeat. Eagles. Chiefs. Again. Cue the collective sigh of football fans everywhere.

NFC Championship: Eagles Flatten Commanders

Let’s start with the NFC. The Eagles bulldozed the Commanders, 55-23, in a game that was over faster than your last DoorDash delivery. Jalen Hurts, doing his best Superman impression, notched three rushing touchdowns while casually throwing for 246 yards. Oh, and Saquon Barkley—yes, they added Barkley to this juggernaut of a team—chipped in with 118 rushing yards and three touchdowns of his own. Because why not?

The Commanders, led by rookie QB Jayden Daniels, gave it their all. And by “all,” we mean a valiant but ultimately futile effort. Daniels, however, deserves a standing ovation for his record-setting postseason, but records don’t mean much when you’re watching the Super Bowl from your couch.

AFC Championship: Chiefs Get a Little Help From Their Friends (Again)

Now, to the AFC, where the Bills and Chiefs gave us a nail-biter—if by “nail-biter,” you mean “a game decided by officiating controversies.” The Chiefs edged out the Bills 32-29, with more than a little help from some timely whistles. You’d think the referees were running routes for Patrick Mahomes at this point.

And then there’s Travis Kelce, who spent the post-game celebration canoodling with Taylor Swift on the field, as confetti rained down. Don’t get me wrong, it’s adorable—love is in the air and all that—but let’s not pretend that overshadowing the Bills’ heartbreak wasn’t a perfectly on-brand Chiefs move.

Super Bowl LIX: Eagles vs. Chiefs—Again

So, here we are. Super Bowl LIX will pit the Eagles against the Chiefs in what’s sure to be a thrilling rematch of a game we didn’t ask for. Sure, Andy Reid facing his old team adds some narrative spice, but let’s be real: We were ready to see Josh Allen and the Bills’ electric offense light up the Superdome or watch the Commanders prove they were the underdog story of the decade.

Instead, we’re left with yet another Chiefs Super Bowl appearance—brought to you, once again, by Mahomes’ brilliance and a few questionable calls.

Mark your calendars for February 9, folks. The game may not be what we wanted, but at least the commercials should deliver.
