No team in the AFC other than the Chiefs can beat the Patriots in the playoffs

Mack Jones is a rookie, so it wouldn't blow my mind if the chiefs beat the Patriots in the playoffs. But I don't think any other team is.

The Patriots were eliminated in the Wild Card round by the Buffalo Bills, losing 47-17.

Steve Kornacki's 'phantom scroll' is a blank prop with nothing written on it

I'm a Kornacki scroll truther. I don't think that he actually has anything written on that piece of paper. [It's] probably a prop.

This is a subjective humorous claim about a TV production element.

The Ravens are the most injured team of 2021

With Marlon Humphrey getting hurt last week and Lamar Jackson getting hurt this week... You officially are the champions of most injured team of 2021. Like I said, you probably already had that crown, but this was like, this was the final piece of having Lamar Jackson getting hurt.

The Ravens were indeed historically injured in 2021, leading the NFL in Adjusted Games Lost due to injury by a significant margin.

Teams down nine points should go for two early to gain strategic clarity

Harbaugh gave us a new little wrinkle to think about... if you're down nine, you go for two, because you're going to have to go for two anyways, to win. You're going to want to know exactly when you need to get that two points.

This is a common modern analytical takeaway that many coaches have started to adopt to manage late-game clock and possessions.

The Colts are even less watchable than the Chargers

They are the deadest, most non-competitive football team, other than the Chargers, that I've ever seen. I think they might be worse.

This is a subjective comparison of two teams' quality and watchability.

The Patriots feel like a one- or two-seed

I feel like the Bills are gonna lose another game. Not against the Patriots. Lose their next game against the Patriots and then we're gonna be in the same spot. So where do you feel though overall? Like are you the two seed? One seed possibly one seed. Two. Two or one seed. Yeah. That's how it feels.

The Patriots' final playoff seed can be resolved after the 2026 regular season, but the outcome is not reliably known here.

The Jets can't build a winning culture

You just can't. It's hard to build a winning culture ever. It doesn't matter what you're doing if you're the Jets.

This is a deliberately broad franchise judgment rather than a claim that can be definitively proven or disproven.
