Introduction: Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports. They started with the AFC and NFC title games, focusing mostly on Kansas City’s 32-29 win over the Bills. Reusse says Buffalo got everything it deserved in the loss because of a stubborn insistence on running the “tush push” in short-yardage situations. And now we’re stuck with Chiefs vs. Eagles again.

16:00: The Gophers men’s basketball team has now won three games in a row after starting Big Ten play 0-6. Neither Reusse nor Rand can figure out what exactly is going on here.

25:00: Reusse has perspective from the Wolves’ big win over the Nuggets on Saturday, plus thoughts on the Twins and their search for a new owner.
