Trying to be the best version of me I can be. Lucky enough to have a wife and three kids who love me. Attitude and Effort- The only 2 things you can control.
The Chiefs have won 15 games in a row since last season. Over that span, they've beaten the full-strength Dolphins, the Bills, the Ravens twice, the Bengals twice, once with Burrow, and the 49ers twice. They won the Super Bowl.
They lost Hollwood Brown before the season, Isaiah Pacheco in Week 2, Rashee Rice early in Week 4, and Jaylen Watson in Week 7.
Going on a run like that requires some calls going your way and it certainly requires luck. It also requires greatness. Most NFL teams benefit from the first two every week but very few are great and so very few rattle off 15-straight.
If you call yourself a football fan, you should respect what the Chiefs are doing, even begrudgingly. You don't have to like them, you can be sick of them, just like many of us were sick of Brady and the Patriots. Having rivals is what makes sports so much fun.
But if you are one of the people whining and crying every week about the refs and you are delusional enough to believe the NFL is rigging games for (checks notes) big market Kansas City, then you aren't really a fan at all. You're just miserable, foolish, or just plain ill-adjusted to traverse a world in which you will sometimes encounter situations that you don't like.
Don't worry. If you keep rooting for the Chiefs to lose, you'll eventually get your wish.
But if you're waiting for the smoking gun that the NFL is paying off the refs to make sure the Chiefs win you're better off spending your time trying to convince your friends and family that the world is flat.
The Chiefs traded a WR who is so good and unique that he was just named the #1 player on the NFL Top 100... and then immediately won back to back Super Bowls.
You cannot overstate the greatness of the foundational five - Mahomes, Kelce, Jones, Reid, and Spags.

Before Mahomes arrived, KC had never hosted an AFCCG & hadn’t played in a SB in 50 years.
In the 25 years before he took over, had won ONE playoff game and THREE TIMES were the 1 seed & lost their 1st playoff game.
Win today, and it’s the best 5 year stretch in NFL history.
In his last six postseason games, Patrick Mahomes has beaten Trevor Lawrence, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson, the first two coming on a sprained ankle, the last two coming on the road.
Remarkable.
