Is the Kansas City Chiefs’ dynasty of dominance over? | SB Nation
Are we witnessing the end of the Chiefs dynasty?
RJ:
This is like the bad guys in scary movies. I am not going to believe it is over for the Chiefs until it is officially over for the Chiefs. We have seen them do things that were unprecedented and until they aren’t at home for an AFC Championship Game in the Patrick Mahomes era they have all benefit of the doubt.
Things are getting tense, though! Kansas City is digging a hole that might be too deep for even them to climb out of. In some ways they may be victims of their own success as reports were that the Broncos viewed this as the biggest game in Denver for them since the 2015 AFC Championship Game. The Chiefs are at the center of everyone’s list and they may finally be showing the effects of that.

The Colts will also field their best secondary of the season now that Charvarius Ward is back from his concussion, joining the newly added Sauce Gardner and veteran Kenny Moore II. Indianapolis still has questions covering the middle of the field and generating a pass rush without DeForest Buckner (injured reserve), but we have seen Lou Anarumo change the picture and throw a lot of different looks to slow down the Chiefs before, so why can’t he do it again?
The market for this game has bounced back and forth between Chiefs –3 and Chiefs –3.5 for most of the early part of the week. I’d consider Indianapolis at 3.5.
Verdict: Lean Colts +3.5 (–115)
Chiefs assistant: Trump ‘doesn’t even know’ how kickoffs work | ESPN
Toub, who has spent more than two decades coaching special teams in Chicago and Kansas City, didn’t hold back Thursday when he was asked what he thought of the president’s pointed criticism of the kickoff rules.
“He doesn’t even know what he’s looking at. He has no idea what’s going on with the kickoff rule,” said the normally reserved Toub, his voice rising. “So take that for what it’s worth. And I hope he hears it.”
Two days after he became the first sitting president to attend a regular-season NFL game since Jimmy Carter in 1978, Trump appeared on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Nov. 11 and torched the league’s dynamic kickoff rule, which owners voted to make permanent this year.
“I think it’s so terrible. I think it’s so demeaning, and I think it hurts the game. It hurts the pageantry,” Trump said. “I’ve told that to [NFL commissioner] Roger Goodell, and I don’t think it’s any safer. I mean, you still have guys crashing into each other.”
