As usual the Chiefs toughest opponent Saturday will be... the Chiefs.
No self-inflicted mistakes, convert the high % plays (i.e. 3rd and 1 and stopping Jacksonville on 3rd and long), make extra points, etc.

Andy Reid is generally the biggest threat to the Kansas City Chiefs on any given playoff game. He's the best run defender on their team, outright taking the ball away from our backs, and that old school sportsman in him guarantees he will put the other guy's feels ahead of stomping on their necks and "scoring an unsportsmanlike amount of points."
He's a win my way or no way guy, and he always has been, and always will be. So if any of you are looking for Andy Reid to suddenly coach football games any differently than he has for 20 years, you're in for some frustration.
We simply need to hope that Patrick Mahomes remains the superbeast that he's been at his best, and influence the game in such a way that Andy Reid being required to pass a pop quiz on situational football is not even a scenario that takes place.
For example, when we last played the Bengals, Andy failed the pop quiz.
Defense has not stopped the Bengals all game, you're down 3 with 3 and change to play. Its 4th and 7 and you either put the game in 15's hands and let him go get you the go ahead td, or you trot out the most untrustworthy kicker since #2 for a shot at a 56 yard field goal just to tie, and give the ball back to Joe Burrow, saying that you believe your defense that hasn't done shit all day, will be able to stop Burrow from draining the clock and kicking a gane winning field goal..
He elected to kick.
If this is the Andy that appears on the sidelines, Patrick Mahomes is going to have to be flawless.
