This Chiefs team overcame playoff failures of the past
I was thinking about how this game was a microcosm of our past heartbreak. Missed kicks by Elliot and Butker. Pass to himself by Marriotta and Mayfield, A second half lead in danger because the offense couldn't score against Indy and Cleveland, and a concussion on Montana and Mahomes. I gotta admit. I had some serious PTSD with all of that going on and I thought for sure that they were going to lose. But this time it was different. Mayfield didn't score a TD on that tipped pass, Butker made just enough kicks to keep the lead, Henne made plays to keep the clock moving, and Andy Reid had the courage to go for it on 4th and short at midfield to ice the game. Man. It sure is nice to be on the winning side. This team truly is special.
