And one MFer is preventing the rest from accomplishing the ultimate goal, in many of those franchises’ case, winning their first ever Super Bowl.
That has to be so brutal to deal with and thank goodness it’s the Chiefs doing the damage. Can you imagine Mahomes being like 80-90% of what he is and not being able to win it all because Allen was constantly in the way?
I’d probably lose my mind too.  |
The Bengals had their shot. They were winning in the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl two years ago.
There are definite similarities between the Chiefs, Bengals, Bills. All three went about 20 to 30 years between playoff wins. All small market teams. All are now contenders because they drafted a franchise QB. That's the blueprint for many other long suffering franchises to follow.
The Chiefs aren't always going to hold these other franchises down. Bad bounces, injuries, free agency, etc. Shit happens even if you have Mahomes. That's why it's so important to capitalize on these SB chances when they came.
