Mellinger Minutes: Scenes from AFC West title, Chiefs, Royals, Kim Anderson and quarterbacks

Three of the four most powerful men in the organization that just won the AFC West are huddled, alone, in the darkness and relative quiet of a muddy tunnel in an outdated stadium.

Clark Hunt, the Chiefs chairman, is there. He has one hand on Mark Donovan, the club president, and the other on John Dorsey, the general manager. They are co-workers, and Clark is the boss, but their relationship is closer and more layered than that. This is the best team Hunt has had in his 10 years running the Chiefs, and you can imagine he is thanking them for their work and congratulating them on getting this far.
