I remember, vividly, the last time KC won a home playoff game. The reason I remember it so well is because I was there. It was Joe Montana's first year with the Chiefs and they were playing Pittsburgh. A group of college buddies shared season tickets. Man, it was so much fun tailgating and cheering on the Chiefs. It was very brisk and all of us watched the game from the concourse at Arrowhead. When Montana threw the game winning touchdown in overtime it was pure bliss.
Fast forward twenty plus years and now the Chiefs are playing a first round playoff game at Arrowhead. Unless there is a complete collapse on both sides, which has happened a couple of times this season, I fully anticipate the Chiefs will snap their home playoff drought. It's what they will have to accomplish the following week that has me skeptical. It's either Pittsburgh or New England at their place - My confidence begins to wane thinking about those scenarios.
Las Vegas isn't giving the Chiefs much love. They have them on the board as 20-1 to win the Super Bowl - Belicheater is the favorite at even money. I tell you what though. I am going to enjoy the Chiefs win tomorrow and just be happy with the fact they won a playoff game at home and were division champs - It sucks knowing they will lose in the second round!
