Okay, the finals are here. Against my greatest hopes of an old-school showdown, both Pittsburgh and Miami have been upset. Tennessee and Kansas City have moved on to face each other in the “Choose My Second Favorite Team Bracket.” Who will win? That’s a very good question.
This is a showdown between two former Texas teams: the Houston Oilers and the Dallas Texans. The Texans moved to Kansas City after only four years in Dallas, and the Oilers moved to Nashville after a long (illustrious) history in Houston.
Kansas City is the greatest rival of my former AFC favorite, the Denver Broncos. Tennessee doesn’t really have a strong rivalry, although cases could be made for the Jaguars, Ravens, and Colts. Kansas City is in the midst of rebuilding primarily with a group of players I don’t like (especially their quarterbacks). Tennessee has head coach Jeff Fischer, the longest-tenured coach in the league (and one of my favorite). Kansas City has a strong history of smash mouth defensive football. The Oilers and Titans have had two of my favorite quarterbacks ever (Warren Moon and Steve McNair), and one I really like (Kerry Collins).
Alright, that’s the rundown. It’s all in your hands now. Let the battle of the relocated begin!
