Week 1. The Chiefs, dead in the water, down by three touchdowns in the third quarter. This team was doomed. Then, a surge unlike any seen before by this team; to come from behind and win. This was the team we were hoping for. Even though they are down and dead in the water they come back with fire and shock us. They win the game in overtime and there was much celebrating in Chiefs Kingdom; this was our Super Bowl team.

Week 2, the foe, the Houston Texans that were humiliated in the post season victory by the Chiefs in 2015. Something different from what we saw just a week before. The offense was not clicking, the defense was struggling and all they managed to come away with was 4 field goals. They lost, to a team they destroyed twice last year in a game that had a lot of us shaking out heads; who was this team?

Week 3, opponent for the day the New York Jets, and the outcome was much better. This was the team we saw two weeks earlier, a team playing with heart. Eight turnovers, two returned for scores, another two picks for the reigning defensive rookie of the year cornerback Marcus Peters. All phases of the game were on point with each other, and we screamed, “How bout them…CHIEFS!!!!” Last week was a fluke, a bad game, only one of 16 nothing to be scared of, our team was back.
