It's odd. His tone didn't sound to me like someone talking smack & yet he went out of his way to use a turn of phrase that is rarely used.
Yes every season is new & has nothing to do with the last one - it isn't a WWE belt fight & all that but defending champs is the universally accepted way to describe last season's Super Bowl champion so why we going out of our way here?
If the Chiefs can use it I say use it. The greats find little slights to exaggerate & leverage into motivation - business as usual & not remotely comparable to the made up nonsense about referees so whatev. At least this is open to interpretation as opposed to bald faced lies made up to marginalize the Chiefs dynasty.
