To me, those moments come to be when the entire league looks at you and thinks, "Ohhhhhh.... shit..."

Yes exactly. This team has the mantle now that the Brady Patriots teams had, that even if you built a lead against them you know they are still (probably) going to win.
That gets in people's heads psychologically. The Chiefs have come back so many times and against such long odds that it's become something routine for them to do. The opponent can't really demoralize them, and instead is left waiting - almost expecting - something crazy and bad to go against them that puts the Chiefs ahead.
When you expect things to go wrong they often do, and I think that's an edge the Chiefs have on opponents right now.
