Chiefs-Bills for the AFC Championship? Yeah, sure, anyone could've seen that coming back in August. Commanders-Eagles for the NFC Championship Game? Ummmm, what? These matchups—two predictable heavyweights adding another chapter to their recent playoff rivalry on one side, one mini-surprise and one out-of-nowhere team playing for the third time this season on the other—illustrate one aspect of what makes this sport so great. Robert Mays and Derrik Klassen preview Conference Championship Sunday on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.
