No, the only time I legitimately thought we would win was the McNair and Eddie George teams. We have had very good seasons since that era but those teams felt special to me. McNair had that “It Factor” and I thought we always had a chance to win any game with him. Maybe is Payton Manning wasn’t in our division all those years and maybe if Patrick Mahomes didn’t exist we would have won a Super Bowl by now. We will never know. All I know is that as long as that dude is playing, Kansas City is numéro uno.

Yeah that was a revenge game for the Ravens. Lamar Jackson had won the MVP the previous season and we ended his season and then ended Tom Brady’s Patriots career. Then we lost to Patrick Mahomes in the AFC Championship after having a 10-0 or 13-0 lead early on. I can’t recall off the top of my head. I remember that year we beat the Ravens in Lamar’s MVP season Derrick Henry made one of their players a Titans blocker with a boss stiff arm after he was talking smack pregame. One of the most embarrassing plays I’ve ever seen in professional sports 😂
