The Chiefs said the same. Many said that the winner of Bills at Chiefs would at least win the AFC. The Chiefs were burned come the Championship game; think it's possible we would have been the same.
The Chiefs were completely spent when they ran into the Bengals. I have the feeling we would have been the same so I'm almost pleased we lost in OT. That injustice should power us more than crumbling against the Bengals.
Question is who is the leader on the team who can calm Mayfield down? If Josh gets in a sugar rush head space I imagine the likes of Diggs and Miller (or even Barkley) sitting him down and calming him. Who's doing that in Carolina? McCaffrey?

And the question has just be asked (of Phoebe Schecter) whether Tua is any different to last year.
In fairness, we went for a lot of dink, dunk and run in the first half on Thursday.
The difference is we know we have the deep ball when we want to use it. The Patriots and the Dolphins? Not so sure.
