My optimism is rebounding. The Patriots losing another game, and likely dropping to a 3-seed, shows that the AFC’s path to the Super Bowl is wide open and the Chiefs are primed to take advantage if they can take care of business this Sunday.
As discussed above, as bad as the last loss sucked in terms of a missed opportunity, it doesn’t necessarily prove anything other than that we must rely on our offense to protect a 4Q lead. Good thing we’ve got an amazing offense. Mahomes, Hill, Kelce, Watkins?, Ware, Williams, we’ve have an embarrassing riches of offensive weapons. Don’t get conservative, and we can steamroll our way through the AFC.
Oh, and Berry’s back. If our D can even be almost average.
