And not "omg, that's unbelievable!" ...but literally not believable.

I think a big part of it is how they treat the regular season these days.... they were obviously a far better team this season once they stopped rotating 8 receivers and CEH started getting fewer touches (among other things), and even after that they rarely blow out teams and routinely shut it down.

Similar to all the chest thumping that rival fans do around here every postseason for being point differential champs and so forth... so many of those stats don't mean shit. And many of those Chiefs teams of the past were in the same shoes, wanting to prove themselves, fighting for their playoff lives, etc... which is apples and oranges compared to these Andy Reid and Mahomes teams.

I got those stats from one of The Athletic's football shows. I think it was last Friday's show with Mike Sando and Randy Mueller, two guys who generally know what they're talking about. Both of them were marvelling at how KC could still win the SB when historically speaking, the last two years have not been close to their "best" teams. But then, KC's "best" teams didn't have Patrick Mahomes. I don't know how they were calculated.

Even if this year's team was better than the 28th spot, the point still stands that KC has had much better teams than this year's team, QB position aside.

I remember seeing it elsewhere and it mentioned based on SoS and a couple other things.

I googled for it and found this gem from 2012 though... man, some people were delusional back then.
