In 2021, the Chiefs were beaten by five teams, all from the AL: Ravens, Chargers, Buffalo, Titans and Cincinnati
Seeing the Chiefs contend for the AFC throne has become a four-year January tradition. However, the road has never been easy, much less in this Postseason, in which in order to dream of the Super Bowl , Patrick Mahomes and company will have to put themselves in vengeful mode.
And it is that before even thinking about traveling to Los Angeles , to SoFi Stadium , Kansas City will have to defeat the Bills this afternoon and in case of winning, do the same with the Bengals , a couple of teams against which he was defeated in the campaign regular.
Throughout 2021, the Chiefs were beaten by five teams, all from the AL: Ravens , Chargers , Buffalo , Titans and Cincinnati , the latter three coincidentally advancing as the top four in the conference alongside Andy Reid ‘s team , in the Divisional Round.
Against the Bills , in the fifth day of action, the Chiefs had a poor performance in Arrowhead , as not only Josh Allen dominated the defense, but also Mahomes was hit.
“What you see from Josh as he gets better each year is that he’s not satisfied with the level he’s at. He works through his passing motion, on his feet, he does different things to give himself an advantage and I think that’s what the best quarterbacks do,” Patrick said of his colleague, whom he leads with a 2-1 record.
A couple of weeks later Kansas City suffered again, this time against the Titans , seeded #1 in the AFC and yesterday eliminated by the Bengals .
Precisely against Cincinnati was the most recent defeat of the Chiefs, on the penultimate date of the regular season. In that match, like yesterday in Tennessee , Evan McPherson was the hero, with a kick without time on the clock that gave his team the victory.
That is why Kansas City should focus its anger against its victimizers and target the SB, perhaps against another ‘debtor’, Tom Brady.
