It's hard as hell to know when the stars really align. KC dropped their week 1 game to the kittens last season, and fought the dropsies almost as bad as we did.
When we beat SF, the NFC looked wide open and it looked like we could hang with anybody...at that point. Sadly, the injuries would be stacking shortly afterward.
The Reid/Mahomes/Kelce combination is gonna be tough again. I'm not convinced Allen will get to the Show, at least not without KC getting knocked out by injuries. Burrow/Cincy always seem fragile, and Philly looked genuinely unraveled late. SF...well, good enough to get there.
At this point, it might be week 10 before there's clarity.
Time for KOC, Darnold, and the team to prove they can win BIG games....
