Every year in the NFL, there are returning playoff teams who fall by the wayside and basement-dwellers who turn things around. It’s the result of the league’s overall parity, a gift to fans of losing teams who dream of turning the corner rather quickly. This year, there are a handful of teams predicted to be great who will fail to live up to expectations and vice versa.
The Kansas City Chiefs are unlikely to be one of those teams. Ever since Andy Reid arrived in town in 2013, the Chiefs have done nothing but win. They’ve made the playoffs in five of the last six seasons and that was mostly before the reigning Most Valuable Player arrived.
