2. Too much talent

This is low-hanging fruit. The Chiefs are a very talented team. It’s easy to get down on them after being blown out so badly on national television, but it happens. The 1994 San Francisco 49ers are one of the greatest teams ever assembled. They were hammered at home by the Philadelphia Eagles that year.

Want some more examples? We already know about the 2014 New England Patriots and what happened to them in Arrowhead, but what about the 1976 Raiders? Oakland only lost one games that season, and it came in a 34-point loss to the Patriots. I could go on, and on, and on. These things happen. The NFL is a weekly sport, and each week, everything changes. It happens.

Kansas City has one of the best rosters in the NFL. Even with the limitations of Alex Smith and Andy Reid, this group can win the Super Bowl. It really can. Denver has a ton of limitations, it just manages them better than the Chiefs. Kansas City can change that.

Most teams in the league would trade rosters with the Chiefs in a heartbeat. There is no reason to talk about blowing things up or starting over. Kansas City has to simply get back to work, and it will.
