But obviously the 3 INTs hurt a lot. Not as much as if DEN had a competent offense, but still gave up points on short fields. I'll go ahead and just throw those INTs in with just sloppy play from the offense.

Ditto the defense. At first they were fine, if not great. They were getting stops and making plays, which is how we had a 21-0 lead to begin with. Then somehow things got wonky.

The third thing you can't really do anything about, and that's 'lucky bounces.' Sometimes the ball just bounces right for one team and not the other.

When DEN's backup goofed the snap and the ball was on the ground just sitting there for a second, then someone kicked it, and somehow KC still didn't come up with that ball, I just threw up my hands, and thought, "it's just one of those damn weirdo days."

And there were just several plays like that, such as the tip drill with DEN's TE. How that ball ends up back in his hands and becomes a catch I don't know. But shit happens.

And really the weirdo shit began with the TNF game. That game was just wild with crazy improbable plays and events. And every year it seems like there's one weekend where everything goes sideways. Like when NE used to be rolling and then somehow they get jacked by BUF, who were 3-9 or whatever going into the game. Or MIA when they would somehow do the same thing to NE, and MIA would be like 2-10 going in.

It's just that there's always a weekend when everything gets turned upside down for no real reason.

I'm hoping that's what happened today, and that it will be gone by next weekend. Don't need to go through this with HOU next Sunday.

Anyway, I'm over it. Going to have my victory scotch and watch a movie.

Go Chiefs

I think after the way they played Dallas today that won't happen.
