Oh, hello old Chiefs. Almost forgot what you looked like.
The reminder came in cruel form, a nationally televised failure with every brutally familiar characteristic of what is by now a trademark playoff choke: blown lead, weird calls, an offense that stalls and a defense that turns into a wet paper bag.
The Chiefs lost 29-28 to the Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday in what was basically a checklist of past postseason flops. This one came in the regular season, so it’s not as bad, but for Chiefs fans around before the curly-haired rocket showed up it feels a little like ominous foreshadowing.
