Multiple things can be true at the same time, and that is certainly the case with the 2024 Kansas City Chiefs.
On one hand, the Chiefs are an extremely good football team. They’re back-to-back Super Bowl champions, and after Friday’s 19-17 win against the Las Vegas Raiders, they are 11-1 and the first team in the NFL to clinch a playoff spot this season.
On the other hand, they are also an insanely lucky team that continues to have almost every possible break and bounce go their way.
That also happened on Friday.
The Raiders drove all the way to the Kansas City 32-yard line with 15 seconds to play, only needing a field goal to win the game. But on a 3rd-and-3, the Raiders had an issue with the snap as quarterback Aidan O’Connell was not ready for it, resulting in a fumble (and an illegal shift penalty on the Raiders) that was recovered by the Chiefs to end the game.
Have a look.
