Around the AFC West: Chiefs dominate while the division sputters

Kansas City Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs really needed a bounce back after that loss to the Colts and they got it. Traveling to Tampa Bay, the site of their Super Bowl defeat certainly carried some heightened emotions, and the fact that Tampa was playing for a recent hurricane-destroyed area in primetime and it really seemed like this could be a problem game.

However, a fumble right off the bat set the tone for the game.

The Buccaneers could never really find their footing after that and the Chiefs steamrolled. While the final score looked close, the game was never really in question. Everyone came to play – in particular the disrespected offensive line. Trey Smith certainly had something to say after the game…

And of course, Houdini himself made an appearance. My god, Mahomes. I watched this game with a friend of mine, who is a Bears fan, and she was, to put it nicely, jealous. Kelce was incredible and the run game! Man, I am a happy fan. And then we get to the best part…

IT’S RAIDER WEEK. The longtime hated rivals head to Kansas City for a Monday Night Football showdown. With a super-mini-bye, I think the Chiefs are going to ride the high of looking like the best team in football to show their division what’s up. The Chiefs will get out to a hot start and won’t look back.

The final score will be close, but you won’t be doubting this one at all.
