Prepare for an invasion of “Are the 0-2 Chiefs done?” content this week that rivals the spotted lanternfly, and like those ubiquitous little devils, needs to be squashed. As long as Patrick Mahomes is upright and playoff-eligible, they remain a threat, so unlike State Farm, I can’t get there.
But as discussed last week, there is cause for concern. For one of the only times since Mahomes started down the GOAT trail, there was never a point where I believed the Chiefs would win yesterday against the Eagles. That very well may be true again next week when the Ravens come to town, which makes this get-right game versus the Giants surprisingly critical. Falter here, and suddenly any talk about the Chiefs and seeding will be more likely to apply to wedding floral arrangements than the playoffs.
