They’ve also played an entire extra season worth of games over the last 5-6 years. I’m sure they’re worn down more than most teams. Plus Mahomes ankle is injured. He’s a bad ass cuz he plays through it, but it is there. [Reply]

Chiefs with the early bye this season, relying on older players at key positions, the wear and tear from extended postseason runs, etc.

In week 11, the Chiefs then lose their FIRST game to a very good Denver team, and someone posts, "I can now see why the Eagles fired Andy." and then goes on to list all of Andy's flaws. :-)
