To everyone freaking out about the Chiefs' loss to the Patriots: R.E.L.A.X.

The Chiefs are legit this year. This game, despite the result, proved that. They got knocked to the mat, but came up swinging and went toe to toe with THE dynasty of this era on their home field in prime time. They came out on the losing end, but only because Brady had the ball last.

The defense got ravaged by injuries right before this game. That's just really bad luck: Going into Foxborough when Brady is red hot and your defense just lost 5 quality players to injury...No defensive coordinator in the league can stop Brady like that. Not one. Not with this roster. The defense did not play well, but heads do not need to roll: They really were set up to get smashed. That they got a turnover off one good play was a win in my eyes.

But the offense came up when they needed to. They got punched in the face to start off the game, and Mahomes made some costly mistakes early. But they came back roaring in the second half. If they hit on early gimmes, the Chiefs would have dropped something in the 50s. Mahomes was unstoppable in the second half. 31 second half points IN NEW ENGLAND.

Sometimes, you can play really well and lose. That's what happened here. Two top teams went blow for blow. Not one contender against a pretender, but two true juggernauts. Yeah, we came out on the losing end this time. It happens. Going into Foxborough and winning against Belicheck is really hard even for the best teams. But we still have the best record in the AFC with a decently favorable schedule coming up, while the Pats are going on a long and grueling stretch of away games. Chiefs are still my favorites for home field and should get a first round bye at the minimum.

The Chiefs are FINE. They are legit. And even in a loss, they showed us that they can fight with the best of them.
