And before Chiefs fans start the full-on, team-sponsored circle jerk, let's take a quick reality break. This is a flawed team that is in a precarious position. They could end up going 12-5 and winning the division. And they could end up 9-8 and end up on the cusp of missing the playoffs. It's hypocritical to shout from the rooftops that the Broncos wins against the Giants, Jags, and Jets are meaningless, while your win against the Eagles (a team that is right there with the worst teams in the league) somehow means you are elite. You gave up 30 points and almost 500 yards. To the Eagles. The game was not decided until halfway through the 4th quarter.

Right, it's the win against the Eagles that has KC fans thinking they're good. Has nothing to do with 3 straight seasons with HFA or a SB victory.
The Chiefs have defensive issues right now, but when you're down several starters/contributors and facing good offenses, there will be some struggles. When everything shakes itself out, the D will likely be on par with last year's. It's the same group minus a few mediocre players.
