Coming into the year, the Kansas City Chiefs were outwardly embracing the high expectations placed on them after making it to the divisional round of the AFC playoffs in back-to-back seasons.
“I love that, man,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said last Spring during OTAs of the high expectations. “Put them as high as you want and let’s go…I love that.”
Under Reid, the Chiefs have been one of the league’s most consistent teams during the regular season—amassing an overall record of 49-24 over the past four-plus seasons, which ranks third behind the Patriots (57-16) and Seahawks (51-21-1) over that time.
