One thing that cant be discounted is the NFL is a business....they stand to lose an ungodly amount if Mahomes isn't in the SB.
Sorry, but Tannehill isn't going to inspire non-football people to tune in...or foreign markets. The Titans, as a whole, are kind of like a pair of tan Dockers....just bland and nondescript. The NFL marketing team would be working overtime to create some interesting story-lines.
How would you sell the Titans to the non-football audience?
People want offense...
We saw this happen when Bortles was about to beat Brady...the refs gifted them 60 yards of penalties right before half....then whistled a fumble/TD dead. They didn't call a single penalty on NE that game.
Is what it is...but there is a ton on money at stake. NFL is trying to build it's brand post Brady/Brees/Roethlisberger/Manning/Luck.
I expect the officiating...for the first time in KC history, to be slanted their way. It's just business.
