Since this is the first time in EIGHT YEARS that the Chiefs weren't playing this weekend, I thought I'd take us on a little ride. Most of these memories will be fun. A few will not.
The AFC Championship Game
Kansas City Style
2018
I’m going to lose my mind.
Not because of another mindless Chiefs conspiracy theory, but b/c this one ignores that the games that the next batch of games are EVEN HIGHER PROFILE NATIONAL TV GAMES!
Week 5 MNF JAX
Week 6 SNF DET
Week 8 MNF WSH
Week 9 4:25 BUF
Week 10 4:25 DEN

Today was a grim, terrible day for the United States and the cause of democracy. Putin, along with other dictators around the world, can finally look at Trump with confidence and think: one of us.

This is diabolical 🤣 Bills had 3:33 left in the game to tie or win. Chiefs cut all their post game pressers to that exact time.
At first I was confused why they were all cut mid sentence as I listened through 💀
I get why the anonymous account are feeding this: They get paid off of engagement & that’s their hustle.
But for @AdamSchefter, who makes *9M a year*, feed into this on arguably the single best day of football of the year, just to satisfy the algorithm, is a disservice to fans.
And, according to that very same league, the NFL itself, this penalty, and the previous one would’ve been upheld.
Of course, Adam knows this, but the NFL media decided that the story of the week shouldn’t be KC trying to be the greatest team ever OR Josh trying to finally have his crowning achievement, it’s bitching & moaning about 2 borderline calls that the league said were called correctly.
It’s truly unbelievable how this week has been hijacked.
Listen, I (and basically everyone) like @AdamSchefter.
But writing this piece, framing it around Mahomes exclusively, and not including the fact that *the league says both calls were correct & replay wouldn’t have changed either* is simply ludicrous & poor journalism.
I'm repeating this for emphasis: the Chiefs are the first team in NFL history to win eight consecutive playoff games without missing the playoffs during their streak.
