Wild-Card Weekend Update

Let's start here: From 1994 to 2013, the Chiefs were 0-7 in the playoffs. Seven times they were good enough to make the playoffs and they lost their very first playoff game every time. 

Three of those seasons, the Chiefs went 13-3 in the regular season. Let's go deeper. Here are the playoff seeds during that run:

6
1
1
2
6
4
5

So 4 of those losses were at Arrowhead. Three were as a team with a playoff bye. You're not supposed to lose those. The 2003 loss (no punt game) and 2013 loss (epic comeback), both against the Colts, stand out in my mind.

This franchise couldn't win a playoff game no matter what.

This is Year 4 of Mahomes being the starter and the Chiefs have won a playoff game every year. 

7-2 so far. (Only two losses were to Brady.)

Here is the list of QB playoff wins. Mahomes has already passed Matt Ryan, Philip Rivers, and Unitas. He's one away from Steve Young and Marino. He's halfway to Peyton and Elway. One more win and he's halfway to Montana. The only QB with more wins and a better winning percentage is Jim Plunkett.



You want another stat? Here.


He already has the record for most 400 yard, 5td games.

8 teams left. A lot of good stories left to be written on the field.
