Conclusion

Fellow Chiefs’ fans, take heart. For those of you who have suffered through decades of inconsistency and mediocrity to those who have only experienced a few years, the golden age in Chiefs’ Kingdom is upon us.

Gone are the days where the franchise was mired in mediocrity in search of a head coach who knows how to lead a group of men onto the gridiron. Gone are the years where the fan’s greatest hope is 10 wins and a Wild Card berth in the playoffs, with the shame of decades of playoff losses to bear. Gone are the decades where weathered, journeyman quarterbacks command an offense pieced together with aging veterans and castoffs.

The Chiefs now have a gifted head coach in future Hall of Famer Andy Reid. They are the defending AFC West champions for the third year running. They are perennial playoff and Super Bowl contenders, and they have a quarterback with Hall of Fame potential in Mahomes.

The universe has reverted to the mean and after years of bottom feeding, the Chiefs’ franchise has begun its ascent to the top. They say it’s lonely there, but I think Chiefs Kingdom will be just fine.
