Hmm, I see a common theme for all of the game manager/above average guys who have won it:
Elite defenses.
So, basically the Chiefs' hopes of winning in the playoffs with Alex Smith rest on Andy Reid deviating drastically from his career offensive designs and going instead to a ball-control, Martyball approach, and the defense blossoming into an elite to all-time-great defense under the tutelage of an offensive-minded coach.
Sounds like a winner.
