The Kansas City Chiefs have no chance
By Colin Welsh
Last season the Kansas City Chiefs shocked the NFL by starting the season 9-0. They were in first place in the AFC West, and Alex Smith was proving he was the real deal. The defense and special teams were dominating, and they hadn't allowed a team to score more than 20 points all season. The team was heading into the bye week undefeated, and looking at the second place Denver Broncos. Chiefs head coach, Andy Reid, was an amazing 13-1 in games played after the bye week. Things were looking good for KC.
Things however did not go as planned in week 11. They suffered their first loss of the season, by a score of 27-17, and the defense was finally exposed. A defense that forced turnovers, pressured the quarterback, and allowed few points, failed to get a take away, had zero sacks, and allowed 27 points. This game started a downfall for that Kansas City team.
The Chiefs would go on to win only two of their final seven games in the regular season, and gave up more than 20 points in six of them. They did manage to get into the playoffs, though. That game is one that Kansas City fans will hope to forget, but will probably never be able to. The Chiefs were up 38-10 in the third quarter, and ended up losing the game 45-44, it was the second biggest comeback in playoff history.
Jumping to this season, Kansas City was hoping to start off strong and bounce back from last years miserable end. However, strong is the complete opposite of how they started. They lost to the Tennessee Titans 26-10, after Alex Smith threw three interceptions. Quarterback, Jake Locker, shredded them for over........
