THe NFL seems to be pushing Mahomes getting 3 in a row, I doubt he will get another chance to do it again (?). If it's not KC, BUF, or BAL in the AFC-C it would surprise many I believe.

You give Mahomes all day, you're going to lose. Thanks Lou. It's kind of crazy to think us rushing 3 is going to somehow generate enough pressure before one of his WRs gets open for a potential catch or PI.

Either way, it was too close for comfort for Reid I bet. The only loss being against Josh Allen is just set up for a playoff rematch/story.
When Josh Allen folded against Burrow at home in the snow, something didn't look right to me...

Remember how depressed they look before the game even started? The whole Hamlin situation, games being moves due to snow, arguments with Diggs and Allen, they were wiped out.

Slow and awful start, which continued for 2/3rds of the season... one of the worst defensive units I can remember, and a real lack of clutch in close games. We could easily have won the majority of the games we lost, with a few of them literally down to a single play. Would've been great to make it in, but tbh I do think Buffalo would've sent us packing next week anyway. We need to figure out how to field a capable defence before thinking about a SB.

I'm not saying that's your stance, but there's plenty of Chiefs fans that are admitting to that.
