  1. Happy about winning the division, but that grounding call was absolute trash. Good game, Bengals.

  2. For anyone brave enough to go to r/nfl just remember…. THEY HATE US CUZ THEY AINT US! LETS FUCKING GOOO

  3. [Mod Voice] Tempting as it is, don’t go and troll the Bengals’ sub. Remember that doing so is liable to get you banned from both theirs and ours.

    [Mod Voice Off] FUCK YEAH AFC WEST CHAMPS BABY

  4. Yay! I didn’t turn the game on and we won! Curse confirmed. I promise to not watch any more Chiefs games.

  5. Schottenheimer would be proud of this team. Butker is the GOAT, Justin Reid is the most underrated pick up of the last few years.

  6. With this win, the Chiefs are division winners eight years in a row, and two rivals are eliminated. Good stuff.

  7. If we can do that again and clean up some red zone playcalling, we might have a playoff team

  8. Listen, backup QB my ass. Browning has been hot, Bengals have been playing well, division title at stake. This game mattered. We moved the ball and need to finish but this overall looked a lot better.

  9. Our worst season is 10 wins, everything goes wrong and the division rivals choke as always

  10. Jamaar Chase: 9-for-15, 116 yards, 0 TDs.

    Oh, wait, that’s in his last TWO games against KC combined.

    Rashee Rice: 5-for-6, 127 yards…in one game!

  11. Another 10+win divisional winning season. If this is a down year in a dynasty I will take it.

    They looked like imperfect champions today. The D was unbelievable.

  12. I know Chris Jones being on the line helps, but I feel like George Karlaftis has not been given proper respect for putting up a double digit sack season

  13. 8th consecutive AFC West title – congratulations boys! Our defense, Butker and Rice balled out today 🙌🏻

  14. What I like most about this game is that the Chiefs themselves seemed to finally accept they are a Defense-first team this year. They played it safe, took the points, leaned on their D and while this game wasn’t without some mental miscues – the mistakes were fewer than we’ve been seeing the last month. Not sure if they’ll take next week to rest our players or not, but I hope they can clean up the rest and just bench MVS already he’s a selfish chump.

  15. Hopefully we learn from this game and bench MVS, throw deep to Rice and Watson, fix the play-calling in the red zone, and stop throwing short of the fucking line of scrimmage and first-down marker.

    Oh, and stop fielding punts from the goddamn one-yard line and start with the blitz to get pressure on the QB instead of playing back and letting our secondary get shredded all game.

  16. I expect the starters to get some snaps next week, if not play most of the game.

    I hope Kelce gets 17 yards so he finishes with 1001.

  17. An 8th AFC West Chamionship makes for a great birthday present this year. And yes, today is my *actual* birthday. Playoff bound, LFG.

  18. Man I am so happy for Harrison Butker being on this team and all the success he’s helped KC achieve.

  19. I’m so glad Andy took the points every.single.time and didn’t listen to Mahomes _or_ the crowd who wanted TDs.

    8-0 when they score 21 points this season.

  20. I understand MVS is one of our highest paid players, but seriously why couldn’t you just let Ross run those routes at this point??
