Honestly I think the Chiefs are way overrated right now. Look at their season...
The only playoff team they beat in the entire regular season was the Dolphins 21-14.
Losing to the Raiders, Broncos and Eagles. with so many close games against unimpressive teams.
Both the playoff teams we just played and beat, the Lions and Packers.(games we didn't play our best). The Chiefs lost to both the Lions and Packers.
Most are judging the Chiefs in these current playoffs and their past success, as who they are now. But when you look at this playoff run, it is not nearly as impressive as it looks on paper.
Both the Dolphins and Bills Defense's were decimated by injuries. I mean decimated. Yes, the Ravens win was an impressive win. But still the chiefs only put up 17 points after a red hot start. The ravens who were the best running team in the NFL, for some reason decided not to run the football. There is just a lot to question about the Chiefs even after these playoff games.
The Chiefs offense and Mahomes were below average all season long. Yes, the Chiefs defense has been very impressive but not some historically good defense that some are pretending them to be. I just think a lot of people in the media are pretending that the Chiefs are one of the past teams and not seeing them for what they are currently. Vegas knows, it is why we are favorite even though everyone in sports media thinks the Chiefs are going to win. The 49ers have been a superior team to the Chiefs all season long.
Also keep in mind in that Ravens game - not only did the Ravens decide to stop running it. They also got a fumble on the literal goal line, and an awful (non pressured) throw into TRIPLE COVERAGE for an int, and another turnover.
Lots of self destructive things had to happen for the Ravens.
Yeah, i have no doubt the Ravens are a better team then the Chiefs.Even with all the terrible gameplan, execution and turnovers from the the entire offense, they still only lost by 7 points. Everyone will say but they got Mahomes. But overlook the fact that the QB production of the Chiefs offense all season has been below average at best. If our defense even remotely shows up i think we win easy.
