That was the most frustrating part of the losses to the Broncos in that era; the Chiefs would be winning the game for 55 minutes and then Marty would go conservative and the prevent-a-win defense would hand the game to the Broncos.
I always thought, probably more like hoped, that he would learn yet when Marty went elsewhere, the pattern continued.
Elway and the Broncos should have a footnote during those years with a big thank you for the gutless coaching of the KC Chiefs.
It wasn't the losses, it was how they lost. Marty was afraid to win.
