The destructive chain reaction that ended the Kansas City Chiefs’ season

Alright, Let’s Wrap Up The Negativity

After the reality of what happened Sunday finally settled in, I found myself turbo-scrolling through my Twitter feed in an attempt to avoid seeing anything Bengals related. That was when I came across this tweet from K.C.’s own Geoff Schwartz that I felt tied a nice bow on this game and in actuality, perfectly described the Chiefs’ 2021-2022 season:

This season has certainly been a whirlwind, with some crazy highs and deep lows. In all reality, the events I described that lead to the Chiefs missing out on this year’s Super Bowl were reoccurring problems the team faced throughout the entirety of the season. The lack of a consistent run game certainly did not make things easy for the offense all year long, especially during the times we saw the Mahomes attack underperform and just look off. Not to mention the lack of a consistent passing option outside of Hill and Kelce.

But that is what the offseason is for, to correct those problems and get things back on the championship track. As I said early on in this article, it could be a whole lot worse being a Chiefs fan in today’s world. This team has the core in place to be a contender for the foreseeable future, and I think the AFC’s road to the Super Bowl will continue to go through Arrowhead. K.C. will be back better and hungrier for 2022-2023.
