This Team Is Dangerous’: Former NFL Star Explains What Makes Chiefs So Lethal

Even though the Detroit Lions are seen as the better team than the Kansas City Chiefs, there’s still an element that makes the latter a threat down the line. For former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III, the Patrick Mahomes-led team is still a legitimate contender.

Kansas City continues to demonstrate their dominance in the NFL, securing a thrilling last-minute victory against the Los Angeles Chargers. With a 31-yard field goal that narrowly bounced off the upright, Matthew Wright clinched the game with just one second left on the clock, pushing the team to a 19-17 win. This victory not only improved their record to 12-1 but also marked their ninth consecutive AFC West division title.

Despite facing significant challenges throughout the season, Kansas City has shown remarkable resilience. Patrick Mahomes consistently found ways to lead his team, even when the game gets tight.

This latest win is a testament to their capability to perform under pressure, reinforcing their status as one of the league’s elite teams. Critics and fans alike recognize that the Mahomes-led team can thrive in high-stakes situations.

The performance against the Chargers highlighted both strengths and areas for growth. While Kansas City has managed to pull off the win, their play was not without flaws, indicating room for improvement as they head into the playoffs.

The team understands the importance of refining their game to maintain their edge against future opponents.

Looking ahead, the Chiefs remain a formidable contender in the postseason. Their ability to adapt and execute in critical moments will be vital as they aim for another Super Bowl appearance. With Mahomes at the helm, fans are confident that the team can navigate the challenges ahead.

At this point of the season, Kansas City is projected to go far in the playoffs. According to Griffin, there’s a still a good reason why other teams should be afraid to face them on the field, as seen in a tweet he posted on his X account.

“The Kansas City Chiefs aren’t even playing their best ball and keep finding ways to win. Yet it feels different than Philadelphia from last year because they have a core 4 in Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, Travis Kelce and Chris Jones who are all in sync. This team is dangerous,” the sports analyst tweeted.

Kansas City continues to be a legitimate force in the NFL, even amidst challenges this season. Despite some close calls, including a recent narrow victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, Mahomes consistently finds ways to lead his team to victory.
