Remember how miserable you felt last night? Remember all that rage coursing through your veins after the Bills once again failed to beat the Chiefs in a very-winnable AFC Championship game? Remember how annoyed and frustrated you were at Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady for a handful of ... questionable? ... play-calling decisions?

What if – hear me out – you felt all those things all over again? Now you can! Emotionally regulating is overrated. Thanks to one single tweet from Sunday night, you can wake up almost 24 hours later and still react the exact same way you were reacting last night. Nothing ever has to change! You can be Mad On The Internet forever, if you want to be. That's the power of the internet, and that's the power of the Chiefs. Anyway, here's a fun ("fun") fact from last night's game, courtesy of a Buffalo sports radio guy.


This James Cook stat will have you way more angry than you need to be on a Monday

"James Cook had 139 yards and 2 TD's on 16 touches," Howard Simon tweeted on Sunday night. "That's 8.6 yards per touch. He didn't get a touch on the final 6 play drive."

Nice! Love to see it. Any time you can point out the obvious in the hopes of going viral, you just have to try. How dare Joe Brady throw the ball when his team was losing? Didn't he know that James Cook was averaging 8.6 yards per touch?! No one listens to radio guys anymore.

So there you have it: another reason why the Bills didn't beat the Chiefs. Go into your day with the white hot anger of knowing that James Cook didn't get a chance to average 8.6 yards per touch over the final six (6) plays of the Bills' season. The lesson here is that the internet will never get over anything, and if they don't have to, neither do you.
