Crazy that you can win back to back Super Bowls & the world is dancing on your grave when you fall in the 3rd straight. This team did something NOBODY in NFL history has ever done the last 3 seasons, advancing farther than any back to back Super Bowl Champ.
First playoff loss in 1,106 days. Just a crushing feeling in #ChiefsKingdom.
But still a historic season and team that became the first in Super Bowl history to come one win shy of a 3-Peat. A run that still beat the odds. Here’s to the next one, Kansas City.
"You never know, that's why you keep your head up."
2 years ago in the Super Bowl, Andy Reid called "corn dog" and Kadarius Toney got his redemption. 🙌
The NFL is not rigged and the refs aren’t cheating for the Kansas City Chiefs.
STOP COMPLAINING AND WHINING ABOUT IT. Your favorite team just isn’t good enough to beat the Chiefs in the championship rounds of the game.
Here Are the Chiefs Stats:
-17th in % of scoring drives aided by penalties for a first down in 2024
-8th in roughing the passer penalties called on defenders hitting Mahomes since 2018
-Tied for 1st in offensive holding penalties called against them with 31 in 2024
-Tied for 2nd fewest unnecessary roughness calls in their favor in 2024 with 2
-32 of 61 penalties called against the Chiefs in their last 9 playoff games have been when Patrick Mahomes was not on the field. So it’s not a Mahomes bias.
I have seen some in the playoffs based stats that truly amount to the Chiefs being a more disciplined and fundamentally sound team than their more aggressive counterparts trying to knock them off.
At the end of the day if you want to beat the Chiefs, you have to stop beating yourself and committing league backed and reviewed penalties in the championship moments of the game.
