It does seem that the formula of QB on rookie contract and beef up on the offensive and defensive lines matters at this time of year. Eagles and 49'ers definitely are strong on both lines and the Bengals have invested a lot in theirs too. Even the Chiefs have a Defensive line who can get after the QB.
If Mahomes was healthy I would feel okay about their chances. All three losses have been by a firld goal. But it's going to take a hell of a game plan and something big from their defence to be in this game. Too bad a healthy Mahomes would have made this a great game for fans.
Eagles and 49'ers should be a good one. The Eagles D Line flies under the radar but they have outstanding depth there. They really do match up with San Fran well everywhere and have the edge at QB.
