Clay Travis is reacting to the AFC and NFC Championship Games, and one major thing that stands out to him, is the display of aggressive coaching by the two teams that won, and the lack of aggressiveness shown from the two losing teams.
In the NFC, the end of the first half may have won the game for the Bucs. With just 8 seconds left on the clock, the Bucs took a deep shot down the left sideline for a touchdown to put them up by 11 going into the locker room. The Packers on the other hand, very late in the 4th quarter, chose to kick a field goal on 4th and goal rather than go for a score down 8 points. Aaron Rodgers never got to touch the ball again.
In the AFC, the Chiefs were their normal aggressive self, moving it up and down the field and converting in the red zone. The Bills however, weren't really aggressive at all. On two occasions, they chose to kick field goals while down two possessions, that still made the game a two-possession game. That's not the formula to get past the Chiefs.
