Right. It's driven some by local sports media, who may or may not believe it but certainly are driving some engagement by going doom-and-gloom.
Other than 2018, when KC's talent was so overwhelming and the scheme with Mahomes at the helm and that talent was set up to just torch the most common defensive schemes prevalent at the time, the Chiefs have always had stuff in the wings waiting for the playoffs. More crisp execution. More aggression. Better performance in the red zone. Exotic looks they hadn't shown, and new wrinkles of looks they HAD shown.
And yet people continue to be surprised...

In this season in which the Chiefs were just so vulnerable and not nearly as good as we are used to, they lost a whopping one (1) game by two scores. And it was the October game in Denver that was randomly cold as **** while Mahomes was battling the flu.
And that’s the regular season team I’m talking about — one that isn’t recognizable compared to the Chiefs we’ve seen in the playoffs.

Yeah, it's pretty wild. And that Denver game also required what, 5 Chiefs turnovers, including a muffed punt late while still down by a single score, that gave Denver the ball inside the 5? And a receiver who dropped a perfectly thrown pass in the end zone, on a miraculous play by Mahomes that still hit him in both hands, that would have tied it up?
