This past weekend, I was back home for a high school reunion (s/o Plattsburg High School). It felt great to reconnect with old friends and share stories of stuff we almost forgot ever happened.

It took a while, but the Chiefs have finally remembered their championship mentality. During Sunday’s matchup, quarterback Patrick Mahomes willed them to a thrilling come-from-behind victory over an AFC contender. They overcame mistakes, made huge plays, got defensive...

A week ago, I pointed out that the game against the Denver Broncos was as close as you could get to a do-or-die game in the regular season — but that wasn’t entirely true. Last week was do-or-die if Kansas City wanted to win the AFC West for a 10th consecutive season.

*But the Week 12 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts was arguably more important, because this one was about making the playoffs at all. With a loss, it would have...
