Summary
We all know this from watching the games, but I figured I'd show it. Rarely were the games truly nerve racking, maybe just uncomfortable at the very end. The Chiefs held a lead at some point in every game, even the backups game. The Chiefs had a double digit lead in all but a few real games, including their only legitimate loss. The Chiefs held at least a two score lead in the 4th quarter in 12 of their 16 wins including playoffs.
The Chiefs are seldom the team that's chasing at the end of games, but they're proven cold blooded killers when they do fall behind, especially as proven last year. Still, only 4 games all 2020 season could Mahomes have gotten a 4th Quarter Comeback, and 3 of those 4 games he did.
The only question is if they're willing and able to put away teams now that the games really matter, and I think they just proved it against Buffalo.

Skip doesn't give a fuck about anything but seeing his name trend in Twitter. That was apparent after his dak comments on mental health
That's why my fav tv talk show is still good morning football. They can just talk football with out acting like dicks.

It was mildly surprising to me that he got nothing more than forced to issue an apology. I had actually figured a suspension was coming. But he apparently makes the company too much money.

I don't know how he makes Fox Sports any money. I know nobody who listens/watches him.
