You don't want to see Burrow healthy in the playoffs and you know it because he's coming to your gun fight with a knife and he doesn't give a shit.
Wait...too soon?

Josh Allen has done a pretty dang good job against the Chiefs in Playoff games. I think a key difference is that Lou Anarumo is a much better DC than Sean McDermott & Leslie Frazier. Buffalo cannot seem to figure out a way to slow down Mahomes in the Playoffs, whereas Cincy's defense has done a very good job of it. So we end up with high scoring shootout games between KC & Buffalo, compared to very close lower scoring games with KC & Cincy. Either way it's a pretty good battle between the Chiefs and these other 2 teams every year.
Now I'm curious to see what happens with some of the other AFC teams. CJ Stroud is only 22 years old and has shown big time potential. Houston will load that roster around him as much as possible while he's still on the cheap rookie contract for at least the next 4 years. Jim Harbaugh is bound to make the Chargers a better team than they were with Brandon Staley. Steelers & Browns are dangerous if they can figure out the QB position. Obviously the Ravens have a good coach, very good QB, and very good roster in general. I'm not sure if Miami can ever do anything in the Playoffs unless they have the #1 seed to guarantee warm weather games.
