The chiefs were on primetime a whole lot when Alex Smith was the starter, so that point was completely false.

Second, the bengals are being disrespected. The Indianapolis colts were given the primetime keys when Peyton got there. They kept putting colts/pats on Sunday night every year, even though before 2006, Peyton didn’t even reach a super bowl. Plus that “rivalry” was totally one sided. Oh, and Indianapolis isn’t a big market.

Burrow’s bengals in 3 years have accomplished more than Peyton’s colts have in their first 3 years. But the colts were propelled to the front of the league. The bengals are near the middle when it comes to exposure

When I look back at 2013 (Andy Reid's first year and they went 11-5), I see the Chiefs having only 2 primetime games.
In 2014, just 3 primetime games.
Only 2 primetime games in 2015.
4 primetime games in 2016.
It wasn't until 2017 that KC got 6 primetime games.
Mahomes took over as the fulltime starter the next year.

So it took until the 5th year with Reid as HC for the Chiefs to get 5+ primetime games.
