I know it stings.
Any loss after breaking a 22-year playoff losing streak was going to.
Its a huge obstacle to play the New England Patriots at home in the playoffs. The Kansas City Chiefs found that out the hard way, but will be better off for it down the line.
The Chiefs injuries sealed the deal in New England. Jeremy Maclin’s absence exposed a young receiver corp that couldn’t step and meet the challenge, although veteran Jason Avant made a good show of it. The lack of a Justin Houston pass rush made it painfully clear that the rest of the edge players are not able to take up the slack yet, either.
