After the Kansas City Chiefs failed to get one third-and-10 stop in three tries (I’m not bitter) in overtime of the AFC championship, I refrained from watching the game for a little while—it was too fresh.
The closest the Chiefs have been to advancing to a Super Bowl in my lifetime was ended by an offside penalty, and Julian Edelman running free in the middle of the field for all of overtime. I didn’t even want to re-live Patrick Mahomes’ excellent second-half performance for the longest time.
Time heals all wounds.
