The Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up for their seventh straight AFC title game, with a chance to become the first team to three-peat. Since Patrick Mahomes became the full-time starter, the Chiefs have dominated the league, winning three titles. This has not gone unnoticed, as the team has gained a reputation for always coming out on top.
However, this has started to rub some people the wrong way, including players on other teams. Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey is one such player. After his team’s loss to the Buffalo Bills, Humphrey expressed his disdain for the Chiefs, stating, “I have no reason of saying this other than being a hater. The Bills or whatever NFC team gotta beat the Chiefs. We can’t let them keep getting away with this.”
Mahomes, who has grown accustomed to the negative attention, addressed the issue earlier this week, saying, “I’ve kind of learned that no matter what happens during the game that something’s going to come out about it if you win, and you continue to win. So, I don’t really pay attention to it.”
A win on Sunday would send the Chiefs to their fifth Super Bowl appearance since the turn of the decade, cementing their status as one of the league’s most dominant teams. Needless to say, their opponents will be motivated to send them packing and put an end to their reign.
