The Kansas City Chiefs Are Depressing

Last season, the Kansas City Chiefs made the Super Bowl, just as they had in 2024, and 2023, and 2021, and 2020. (It could have been five straight if they hadn’t blown an eighteen-point lead in the 2022 A.F.C. Championship Game.) They finished the 2024 regular season with a 15–2 record, which suggests that they were very good. They were not actually very good. Also, nobody likes them.
