The street estimated an unreasonable margin of victory this week at 16.5 points. With the biggest game in the NFL regular season looming on Monday Night Football, it seemed inevitable that there would be some sort of letdown. Many expected the Kansas City Chiefs to overlook the Arizona Cardinals this week.
I don’t believe they did.
But this game did end up being a trend-buster for the Chiefs. They lost the first coin toss of the season — which we can blame on many in the media — and then the Chiefs allowed a touchdown on their opponent’s first drive for the first time this season.
