The Week After

Last year, the Chiefs broke the Jaguars.

The Jags were 3-1 and coming off an AFC Championship appearance. Mahomes and Co. beat them 30-14 and the Jaguars were never the same. It was the start of a 7-game losing streak and they'd finish 5-11.

I've noticed a trend. It seems that teams give the Chiefs their best shot, lose, and that either demoralizes them or they're out of steam and lose the week after.

Jaguars lost to Chiefs and then lost the week after.
Raiders lost to Chiefs and then lost the week after.
Ravens lost to Chiefs and then lost the week after.
Lions lost to Chiefs and are on the bye this week.

(It's also worth noting that all those teams either won or tied all their other games not accounted for, so it's not a matter that these teams are just junk.)

We'll see if the Lions' bye week allows them the chance to regroup or if they fall victim to the curse as well.
