That is a team that is beatable, but have very few weaknesses. Can KC beat them? For sure, but some of that will be dependent on how healthy they are.

I mean, it can't be discrediting when there's nothing to credit them for based on the criteria of playing SB caliber competition.
People can give them all the credit in the world for beating teams that never had a chance of winning a CG or SB.... it just doesn't mean anything when evaluate them in this game.... and like I said, I'm not saying that makes them a bad team.
I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they are actually a great team, but there's nothing this season or in recent history that I'd point to and say, oh yeah, that defense has handled a QB in the same ballpark as Mahomes, or oh yeah, that offense can score at will on anyone and keep up with Mahomes.
