The fact Brown/Hopkins werent involved ..really at all, against the Texans says it was deliberate. Neither one had a single catch...
I'll eat crow if this happens again on Sunday...the fact they can just turn that shit on/off is nuts....it's how truly good they are.

And maybe that's the thing.
Maybe we've gotten so used to "Man, winning football games is really damn hard" that when we see Andy and company trying to do it with one arm tied behind their backs, we see it as the height of hubris that will inevitably come back to bite them in the ass.
Because football isn't basketball. Basketball is the only sport I've ever seen where a team truly can flip a switch and just buzzsaw their opponents. And even THAT'S only possible because of the 'best of' series format.
But in a win or go home scenario, I just don't think it's possible to 'turn it on' when you need it. You have it or you don't.
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the Chiefs ARE just that good.
That's just an awfully big mental hurdle to ask people to clear.
