Funny thing happened on the way to another one-and-out-postseason-gripe...
Baltimore 39, Houston 13
Baltimore 31, Kansas City 28
Baltimore 37, Washington 6
So, we manage to win our first title in a suitably weird way. We are disappointing in the regular season, as far as I'm concerned, but weird circumstances see the division and conference elite fall back a bit, so our mere 10-6 manages to fill the "well somebody has to get the second bye" slot from a three-way tiebreaker. Then we watch the #1 seed NE get upset at home in their opener (that's usually our gig), so we actually get to host the AFC title game, where we needed every edge we could get against corbes's Chefs, great googly-moogly. We then get an apparently drunk-on-firewater team from Washington in the Beltway Bowl, and make quick work of them, tearing a page from the Raiders playbook of yore.
Fun times.
