Hard to say you couldn't predict this when Richardson might have been one of the worst college passers I've ever seen. There've been bigger draft busts in general, but he has to be on the shortlist for biggest draft "reach" of all-time. I get that he was and is a 99th percentile freak athlete, but dude had zero QB skills/instincts.

Two years after the Vikings became the first team in league history to go 9-0 in games decided by seven points or fewer, the Chiefs took things a step further. Andy Reid's team was an unprecedented 10-0 in one-score games last season. And as always, while there are situations in which a late score can make a game look closer than it actually was, the Chiefs really were getting opponents to slip on banana peels and knock themselves out at the most opportune times. Let's relive just how narrow so many of Kansas City's victories were:

In the season opener, a Lamar Jackson touchdown pass to Isaiah Likely as time expired seemed to extend the game. As the Ravens were about to line up for a two-pointer, a review found that Likely was out of bounds by half of a toenail, ending the contest.

The following week, the Chiefs faced a fourth-and-16 with 48 seconds left against the Bengals, only to be bailed out by a 29-yard pass interference penalty on rookie safety Daijahn Anthony. (Before the conspiracy theorists weigh in, keep in mind that a 21-yard conversion on the prior fourth-and-6 was wiped off by an illegal hands to the face penalty on Chiefs tackle Wanya Morris.) The penalty set up a game-winning field goal from 51 yards out by Harrison Butker.

In Week 3, defending a five-point lead in the fourth quarter, the Chiefs came up with two red zone stops on consecutive drives to stop the Falcons, including a controversial no-call on what looked to be pass interference against Kyle Pitts.

Six weeks later, a Baker Mayfield two-minute drill produced a touchdown pass with 30 seconds to go. Unlike the Ravens in Week 1, Tampa Bay coach Todd Bowles elected to kick an extra point and send the game to overtime, where the Chiefs won the coin toss and marched downfield for a touchdown.

The following week, the Broncos were in position to seal a statement victory over their divisional rivals, but Leo Chenal blocked a 35-yard field goal attempt that would have won the game for Denver, handing the Chiefs a 16-14 win.

In Week 12, the Panthers drove downfield for a game-tying touchdown and two-pointer, aided by a pair of pass interference penalties on Kansas City. With 1:46 to go, a Patrick Mahomes 33-yard scramble got the Chiefs into range for a short field goal to win at the buzzer.

In Week 13, the Chiefs somehow survived a pair of Raiders drives to hold onto a two-point lead in the fourth quarter. Daniel Carlson missed a 58-yard field goal that would have given Las Vegas the lead with 2:21 to go, and after a Kansas City three-and-out took just 14 seconds off the clock, the Raiders drove into position for another field goal, only to lose the ball on an aborted shotgun snap with 14 seconds left.

In Week 14, after a Cameron Dicker field goal gave the Chargers a two-point lead with 4:39 to go, Mahomes & Co. converted three consecutive third downs to drive downfield and eat up the clock. Then, a Matthew Wright field goal bounced off the uprights and in, clinching a ninth consecutive division title.

A pair of seven-point victories over the Chargers and Raiders weren't quite as close. Maybe it's unfair to include the Panthers game when Carolina never had the ball with a chance to tie the game or take the lead. There's no guarantee the Buccaneers or Ravens would have converted their two-pointers, or that the Raiders or Broncos would have hit their field goals to win their respective games. Maybe it's not fair to treat these games as some collective combination of Chiefs magic and spectacular luck.

And yet, at the same time, you really have to blindly believe to treat this as proof of a dominant team turning on the gas when it most needed it. Was it Mahomes and the offense coming up with key plays at the exact right time? Some weeks, yes. Against the Ravens, Falcons, Bucs, Panthers and Raiders, though, the Chiefs had a chance to chew up the clock and seal victories with first downs but couldn't sustain their drives, handing the ball back to the opposing team. Most of those drives were three-and-outs.

Jaire is cooked, that knee must be a total mess.

Jerry Jones is just the worst. I don't know why the NFLPA hasn't gotten involved here. You negotiate with an agent. That's the entire reason they exist.

After watching the attached clip im thinking he really might be going senile. Even his "mommy/daddy" analogy makes no **** sense if hes trying to defend himself

FYI, the Brazil game this year that's on YouTube is on regular YouTube, you don't need YouTube TV.

Vikings doing their thing where they trade all their picks and have no depth, then need to trade even more picks because of their lack of depth.

Certainly Micah Parsons would be a game changer. 26, three top-3 DPOY finishes in four seasons. If we can make it work it would be amazing.

If both are available and attainable, I do wonder if the cost to acquire Hendrickson would be more palatable. You balance it with being five years older obviously, but I can't imagine Micah costing less than multiple firsts, and at his age I wonder if Cincinnati ultimately settles for a second for Trey.

[ReginaldDwight]

Hendrickson is a pass for me hes at the point in his career that guys can fall off a cliff healthwise.

[Matches Malone]

Funny how the Bears look like a completely different team when they aren't facing the other teams backups.

Brian Robinson Jr for a 6th seems like a steal…what am I missing?

He's a UFA after this season.
