I've said for years you need an offense that can score 30+ on pretty much anyone, because once you get to the CG/SB level, most every team can and will do the same.
For the Chiefs to get to the SB this year though.... yeah, things could definitely fall into place where they don't need to be lights out on offense or even above average. The challenge with that is obviously staying healthy across the board, and even then the margin of error is going to be thin.... and there's still a chance of facing the Bills or a chance the Ravens are actually for real this time.
Until proven otherwise, this is a ****ing weak ass playoff field on the AFC side... I'm curious about the Browns, curious (but not at all optimistic) about the Ravens, curious about the Bills if they get in.
But, this isn't 2021 or 2022, staring down the Bengals and Bills.

It's not the same, but because of the Chiefs struggles, the difficulties kind of are. The Ravens have a history of choking but they have a brutal team, with Lamar playing well, their running game and the defense.
The Browns are another team because they have a playoff proven QB with a running game and defense and the Bills are playing well now and just beat you.
This just isn't the same Chiefs teams like the last few years. If the playoffs started today your most likely path would be hosting the Bills, @Miami and @Baltimore. Things could fall your way and you could host the Browns for the AFCCG but that's not an automatic W either. And none of that takes into account if the Steelers D makes it in or Stroud's Texans.
