Chiefs’ Bold Statement Looms: Can Broncos Handle the Heat?
Looking at the Chiefs record, you probably are scratching your head a bit. This was somewhat expected to be a down year for Kansas City, but four losses in nine games is probably outside of what anyone expected. They are just 1-3 on the road to this point and that is probably even more concerning than the overall record, because they are extremely unlikely to get a Bye or home-field advantage for the majority of the playoffs. That is, if they even make it. As of right now, they would be in, and I’d still expect only the Bills or Ravens to beat them. However, they are in a worse position than I think we could ever assume with them. Let’s take a moment to examine the Chiefs losses – they dropped the opener to the Chargers. Then the Eagles beat them in a close game. The Jaguars capitalized on mistakes from Kansas City and walked away victorious. Then last game, the Chiefs fell to the Bills in Buffalo. The Chiefs played well in each of the games, but couldn’t quite get what was needed in order to win. Maybe it is just a down year, or maybe it is seven years of extended football catching up to them. I’m still not ready to count them out.
