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.

Dude...they were 15-1 and beat every AFC playoff team except the Bills...and looked disinterested/uninspired while doing it.
Yes..they are that good. They just turn it up a notch when they need to.
The defense just throttled the Texans when the game became close towards the end...they couldn't do shit. It was kind of amazing...like a flick of a switch. I haven't seen a team be able to morph like that...
The game last week definitely had the "play with your food" vibe...Brown/Hopkins had 0 catches.
It's deceptive...you kind of feel like the game was close ...then KC wins by twice their score...and you go...oh, I guess it wasnt.
