The Rams showed more life in the 2nd half than the Chiefs did, unfortunately.
Time will tell. I can easily see the Bengals winning it all next year and making us seem like a bunch of neurotic worriers. With that being said, Burrow getting hung out to dry by a franchise that has had long-term issues while Stafford became an instant SB champ after leaving the woebegone Lions could be seen as a sign.
As fans, we have "another life" to deal with. As sports players, this is their life. As you mentioned, they are used to this adversity, it is their life, sports is adversity at its definition. Someone is telling you they're better than you, that you won't win.
Their goal is to win a championship, our goal is to watch them win a championship. We don't have to do anything for the latter and their life is dedicated to the former.
