Have you not seen Mahomes in the 4th quarter, when trailing?
The man is 60-14 in his career, and has only lost by more than one score four times. And 2 of those "big losses" occurred at the end of the 2020 season when their offensive line was down 4 starters.
As for Shatel's column, is it really that off base? Omaha has more bandwagon fans than anywhere else I've ever been. There are tons of Yankees fans, Cowboys fans, and assholes who used to love the Miami Heat, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and now the Lakers.
Wouldn't be shocked at all if a bunch of Chiefs stuff is walking around town now.
