It would’ve helped tremendously with three timeouts.

Reid said he did not expect any members of his current staff to accompany offensive coordinator Doug Pederson to Philadelphia, where he is expected to be announced as the Eagles’ new head coach this week.
Then came the two-minute warning.
“We didn’t worry about what’s happened in the past or what’s going to happen in the future”. “It was 2:20 on the clock”.
A false start penalty on left tackle Eric Fisher followed.
Danny Amendola had two catches for 18 yards as he worked his way back from a knee injury.
The Chiefs didn’t allow more than 22 points in any game during their winning streak, also forcing at least one turnover in each game. “We’re going to need it”.
“When you’re at the plus-5”, Reid said, “you want to score”. Time was of the essence. You’re at the 1-yard line.
The Chiefs closed within the final margin after Charcandrick West scored on a 1-yard run with 73 seconds remaining. The Chiefs had a shot at an interception on this Patriots possession but failed to capitalize on the opportunity. “It’s great to have a lot of guys back that we had back today”.
If Denver beats Pittsburgh Sunday, the Patriots visit the Broncos. The atmosphere was festive, with the home side clearly happy to host another mid-January post-season game.
“Anytime the Clydesdale gets running, the crowd goes insane”, Edelman said. “You’ve got to get that one score”. “I mean, if you get any yards there, you’ve probably got points and we weren’t able to do anything”.
The Chiefs did answer however as KC converted another fourth down then finished off with a touchdown pass to Albert Wilson.
Brown made 136 catches for 1,834 yards and 10 touchdowns this season, enjoying a stellar campaign that included 16 catches for 189 yards and two touchdowns in a comeback victory at Denver – the best receiver showing against the Broncos’ defense all season.
“It was tough man”, said Maclin, who suffered is high ankle sprain last Saturday against Houston.
After being forced into overtime by another Hail Mary from Aaron Rodgers, the Arizona Cardinals wasted no time calling for the “Hail Larry” to get to the NFC Championship Game. The tight end pulled that one down, the 61-yard reception giving the Packers an improbable 27-23 victory. Chris Conley also had five catches as Smith connected with 10 receivers.
The Patriots will meet the victor of Monday’s (AEST) game between Pittsburgh and Denver for a spot in Super Bowl 50 as they try to become the first repeat National Football League champs since they did it in 2003-04.
It’s business as usual for the Patriots and Tom Brady, who will be appearing in his 10th AFC Championship Game on Sunday when faces off against the Broncos and Peyton Manning. You got to grind. Belichick has won quite a few games in his own right, and the cagey coach likely will have Julian Edelman (broken bone in foot) back in the lineup for the first time since November 15.
The Patriots called all passing plays on an 11-play, 80-yard touchdown drive to start the game. With no receiver open, Brady took off in a dash for the end zone.
They could laugh because Brady, on the next play, did something else he does well. On the next snap, Brady leaned forward and reached into the end zone to make it 14-3. Ryan Allen’s punting was a little off in the first half; a line drive punt in the second quarter went for only 43 yards and was brought back 19 yards by Kansas City punt returner Frankie Hammond.

“I thought the situation we were in, I thought we were handling it the right way”, Reid said.
