Are we supposed to pretend he hasn't broken dozens of records over the last 3 seasons?
The simple fact is that the only thing more unbecoming than arrogance is fake humility.

No, I don't think you pretend at all.
You know he did that.
You call it for what it is (greatness).
You recognize that you have one of the greatest to play the game.
You enjoy it.
And then you think about NFL history and you still retain some level of humility.
You remember that even the greatest QB's of all time didn't win SB's more than 28% of their seasons.
You remember that the 2007 Patriots, which is likely the greatest NFL team to ever step on the field and would likely beat any current NFL team, LOST in the Super Bowl after going 18-0.
Summary: You know he's great, the Chiefs are great, you recognize it and you love the fact that you have a great chance in any game, but you don't be a dick about it.
It's also called being a nice person.
