Being a fan of the 2016 Kansas City Chiefs should come with a disclaimer: not recommended for the faint of heart.
For the second straight week the Chiefs won in a manner that had to be seen to be believed. Last week it was the Chiefs capitalizing off a missed 62 yard field goal and then banking in their own game winner as overtime expired.
This week it was Eric Berry returning a two point conversion pass from Matt Ryan 100 yards to give the Chiefs a one point win over the Atlanta Falcons. If you add their two dramatic come from behind wins against Carolina and San Diego into the mix it means that four of KC’s nine wins have come in nerve racking fashion.
Does that mean that the Chiefs are lucky? Does it mean that Kansas City is a team of destiny that just won’t quit?
Let’s hope it’s the second, but if the Chiefs are a team of destiny I worry some of us may not live to see it. Can you imagine if the Chiefs keep winning like this in the playoffs or even (knocks on wood) the Super Bowl? I’m only 39 years old but I worry my heart may not hold up at this rate!
My health concerns aside, I had three other main takeaways from this game. The first has to do with the Chiefs quarterback, Alex Smith.
