KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Almost every time the Kansas City Chiefs readied themselves for a playoff game in the past 25 years, they had more reason to fear the rival quarterback than their opponents.
Their fears, it turned out, were not unfounded. The Chiefs have lost 11 of their past 12 postseason games, dating back to January 1994, in large part because their opponents almost always had the superior quarterback, often one of the game's greats.
The Chiefs lost eight games to quarterbacks who are either in the Pro Football Hall of Fame or have a reasonable chance (or better) to get there eventually.
