I was worried after the Tyreek TD, but when we went up 16-7 and the Dolphins immediately punted, the game started to feel like one of those old Patriots playoff games.
They wouldn't be particularly dominant on offense, but they wouldn't make mistakes, and their defense just allowed them to glacially move towards victory as slowly as possible, just leaning on the opponent play after play until the weight eventually became too much to bear....and sometime early in the 4th, the opponent usually cracked.
That's the team we are now. If we get out to an early lead, you're fighting an uphill battle the whole way. A 10-point deficit will feel like 21 with the way the defense makes you earn every yard.
It's always been hard to beat the Patrick Mahomes Chiefs. And when we don't beat ourselves this year, it's maybe even harder.
