It is interesting as the Chargers have been a laughing stock for so long and they appear to have hit gold with the QB like the Chiefs did with Mahomes. I think with the Patriots - 20 years is a looong time to dominate. There were good teams in the East over that time that they had to beat but not a true franchise QB. But great teams and great QBs rise to the occasion. The Patriots still had to play Manning and Roethlisberger to get out of the AFC so the competition was always fierce in the AFC.
I still don't think the issue for the Chiefs is the Chargers though. The defense is just awful, no talent on that side and the offense has been figured out since the SB. There needs to be adjustments which I am sure there will be.
