Is it just me, or does this team seem like they are peaking at just the right time. For the last several seasons, the Kansa City Chiefs have opened the season hotter than arguably any other team. Unfortunately, they’ve started hot but then immediately went into something of a tailspin.
This season’s start was hot, but a perceivable tailspin never came. Even in the toughest stretch, where the Chiefs lost four of six contests, there were reasons for it. Pivotal players were injured for each game. The defense was improving every week, and if this team could get healthy, it still felt as if the sky was the limit.
