Are the Chiefs Heading Toward an Unthinkable Fall from Super Bowl Glory?
Now there’s a lot of negative there for team that was 15-1 heading into that Broncos game and has knocked off the Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills (again) in two more close playoff games to claim yet another AFC championship.
However, we can’t hide from the data, either. If nothing else, it gives the Chiefs another challenge to push aside heading into its showdown with the NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX Feb. 9 in New Orleans.
Not only did KC rank 19th in the NFL in overall EVE (Philadelphia was second), but it also sits just eighth in TRACR heading into Super Sunday (the Eagles are third). TRACR takes data on both sides of the ball to calculate how many points per 10 drives better or worse teams are than the average team during those specific seasons.
