I grew up in a Texas football family, so you know it was serious.

Friday nights were spent at the high school stadium watching my linebacker brother and his team marched to the state playoffs.

Then he walked on to the Texas A&M team and there was the Cotton Bowl to cheer at.

But you could still say I was a casual fan.

That is until Patrick Mahomes.

In a 2021 AFC divisional playoff game, the quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs had just 13 seconds left to catch the

Buffalo Bills, and the Homes did it. First, a 19-yard throw, then a 25-yard throw to get them

in field goal range to tie the game. It's going to be 49 yards is what it is. 49 yards to send

it to overtime.

Harrison Buckford.

I'm so nervous.

So hundreds of thousands around the planet.

The kick is good.

It's going overtime!

The Chiefs later won in overtime.

13 seconds! It changed the way I thought about the game of football forever.

And maybe you need a rethink too.

From KERA in Dallas, this is Think. I'm Paige Phelps in for Chris Boyd.

Today we're going to talk about football and as it happens tonight as the University of Miami and the University of Indiana playoff to decide this year's college football national championship.

But don't worry, we're not going to list off stats or discuss RPO's or even discuss if the

Eagles get punished

by penalties more than any other team in the NFL.
