• Doug Pederson vs his mentor Andy Reid - Reid has won both prior matchups - does student become master? 
  
• Kelce vs Jenkins/Herndon/Jags LBs  - be afraid
  
• Mahomes (do I need to elaborate?)
  
• Chris Jones vs Fortner, Shatley and a banged up Scherff - again - be concerned here and other chefs' DL guys rush well too
  
• Jags scrap patrol defense - can this scrappy unit find away to force turnovers like they did in weeks 14-18?
  
• Jags run game - would be nice to establish it early - chew clock - and take advantage of a team giving up 4.4 per carry early in case we must resort to more passing in a comeback effort later
  
• Jags pass game - TL will be under pressure quickly most drop backs. Gotta ID the right guy quickly and get the ball out. They don't have the horses in secondary to cover all of our weapons, but they will pressure the QB. Should hit the short and intermediate stuff on second downs where they struggle this year in order to move chains. 
  

Adding one more storyline here:

Yellow Flags:
Not just because of the wild card game crew botching a few calls, but because Andre Cisco removed a few chefs players from their cleats in the last matchup in KC. 
Will chefs players will be looking for retribution? 
Will they get flagged for it? 
Do the chefs favor Reid and Mahomes to Pederson and Lawrence in their leniency?  (otherwise known as the Brady effect) 

Keep an eye on this.
