With the Kansas City Chiefs’ 3-0 start to the 2018 NFL season, I wondered this week if Chiefs fans would start feeling like it was Super Bowl-or-bust territory.

We have our answer, via this week’s FanPulse:

To my surprise, 87 percent of Chiefs fans would be OK if the Chiefs didn’t win a championship this season. Perhaps this has a lot to do with the fact that Patrick Mahomes is only 23, meaning there is plenty of time for championships.

One thing that has to be fun for Chiefs fans right now is checking in on confidence around the AFC West.

As you might expect, fan-base confidence in the first-place Chiefs has remained steady all season. But the same can’t be said for the Denver Broncos, LA Chargers and Oakland Raiders.

After the Broncos’ 27-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens last week, MileHighReport’s fan confidence rating dropped 51 percentage points! I could only imagine what a loss on Monday night to the Chiefs might mean for that rating next week.
