For the seventh year in a row, the Kansas City Chiefs will be playing for a spot in the Super Bowl when they face the Buffalo Bills in this Sunday’s AFC Championship Game.
Yet again, quarterback Patrick Mahomes has failed to lose in the early rounds of the playoffs as a starter, but some have felt all season that his Chiefs have been vulnerable, citing the fact that most of their wins have come by seven points or fewer.
But the other side of the argument is that they have usually found ways to win even though they haven’t played very well, especially offensively, and that is simply something great teams do.
On Fox Sports 1’s “Speak,” Joy Taylor answered the question of what the Chiefs’ biggest obstacle is by saying they don’t have one and will end up winning their third straight Super Bowl championship.

Kansas City hasn’t been an excellent offensive team in a couple of years, especially ever since they traded away star wide receiver Tyreek Hill in 2022, but they have morphed into a team that wins with defense, and defense is always the key to winning championships.
In the regular season, they were fourth in points allowed, and in the divisional round of the playoffs, they held a fairly potent Houston Texans squad to just 14 points.
The Bills are the only team to beat the Chiefs this season when the Chiefs have played their regulars, which has given some people the belief that they will prevail on Sunday.
But for others, the Chiefs’ uncanny ability to come up with big plays when needed, as well as, at least allegedly, the favorable calls they have been getting, make others feel they will inevitably end up winning the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
