Something like this was bound to happen. It still sucks though.

Has our luck been all that great though?
In 2019, we won the Super Bowl despite getting beat to shit with injuries all year. Some of those guys came back but we even had to sign Suggs because we lost so many DEs.
We pretty much were always dealing with injuries to Watkins and Clark.
We lost a Super Bowl due to like 5 OL injuries and opt outs.
Mahomes has had multiple lower leg injuries and even got pulled from a playoff game for getting choked out.
Just because the Chiefs overcome it normally doesn’t mean we’ve been all that fortunate. Shit, we just won a Super Bowl despite losing our best OL and a key pass rusher in the AFCCG. Even the backup to that OL got hurt. That would’ve been a reasonable excuse for losing to the 49ers.
