It’s the most crushing playoff loss in Chiefs history.
Worse than any of the playoff losses during the Marty-era… the limitations of Steve Bono and Elvis Grbac getting exposed in those playoff heartbreaks were understandable. The (in)famous Christmas Day playoff loss to the Dolphins in 1971 was in the Divisional Round and didn’t involve blowing an 18 point lead.
Blowing a 21-3 lead to an inferior opponent at Arrowhead when your all world franchise QB collapses in the second half and can’t come through to win the game with a first and goal late in the 4th quarter and then getting the ball first in OT?
I can rationalize choking with Steve Bono, Elvis Grbac or Alex Smiff… not with Mahomes when he is the primary reason for the collapse.
