There's just no way Seattle comes into KC on Christmas eve and wins. Their defense sucks.
Maybe Vegas cause that game ain't likely to mean much to KC. But if they beat the Bengals, it's all but over for the 1 seed. [Reply]

They don't have issues playing down to opponents... they're actually really freakin' good at it.
I doubt any other team in the league has fewer upset losses than the Chiefs over the last few years, yet it's constantly brought up as some kind of decent risk week to week.
And doesn't Mahomes have some kind of insanely good record in December? Does he have ANY upset losses in December? (and we're apparently talking about the fucking Broncos here, not a Bengals team that made the SB).
Obviously, no team is invincible, but the Chiefs in December are actually pretty close. [Reply]

I get it. But at the same time saying the #1 seed is all but locked up if they beat Cincinnati is a little premature. I am just glad the team doesn’t think this way. [Reply]

Where do you think they're lacking? Depth maybe? Because they're solid across the board.
Their defense is middle of the pack at best. [Reply]

I know what you're saying because a team shouldn't be able to consistently do what the Chiefs do... teams don't usually just get mad down 17-0, take the car out of neutral and put up 30. Teams usually pay for it if they play flat for 3.5 quarters and can't expect their QB to drive down and win a game.
Truth is though, they could probably play worse against the Broncos than they ever did last season against the NYG and Packers and still sweep them and probably wouldn't even need to start Mahomes against the Texas.
Beat the Bengals and it's just about as locked up as it can be in the NFL. That of course doesn't mean just go out there and scrimmage for 60 minutes, of course. [Reply]

He doesn't have any losses AT ALL in December. [Reply]
