My contention is just that it should hurt the Chiefs too if they want to be considered the best ever. The best ever would defend their title, dethrone the MVP, erase the “road playoff game” narrative, overcome a lack of roster talent.
No shame in not being able to do that. Those are lofty goals. No one is infallible. But it’s a double standard to expect others buy into the inevitability of the Chiefs as the best ever even if they lose when not one person here will buy into the inevitability of the Ravens eventually breaking through even with their consistency/talent.
Just to be clear, I’m not singling you out. You’ve been fair/balanced. It’s more so the people who want to insist the Chiefs are in a different universe even if they lose. Well, no. If you want that treatment, win.

If they lose, yeah it sucks and hurts their chances of being considered a dynasty. But they would have Reid and Mahomes and be in contention to win it again next year, simply because of their track record.
Again, a loss here would suck for Chiefs fans, but it would be easier to stomach compared to the Ravens due to the Chiefs consistent ability to make the AFC Championship game.
