And again, the narrative YOU should be focused on is Lamar only winning a whopping two playoff games in his career. Mahomes’ legacy is not in trouble; this is a make or break legacy game for YOUR guy. THAT is the corrective narrative, that is the narrative that you don’t want to focus on, that you need to distract from - because deep down inside, in the quiet parts of your innermost being, where you only subconsciously admit your deepest darkest secrets and fears, you know… the champs are coming.
