Unlucky #7 for the Chiefs Kingdom

Let me start off by saying I'm a lifelong Kansas City Chiefs fan so the thoughts expressed in this blog are probably shared by other KC fans. The date is Jan. 16, 1994 against the Houston Oilers at the AstroDome. Joe Montana led the Chiefs to a 28-20 victory over the Oilers little would anyone know that was the last time Kansas City would win in the NFL playoffs.

Jan. 23, 1994 AFC Title Game L at Buffalo Bills 30-13, head coach Marty Schottenheimer
Dec. 31, 1994 AFC Wildcard L at Miami Dolphins 27-17, head coach Marty Schottenheimer
Jan. 7, 1996 AFC Divisional L vs Indianapolis Colts 10-7, head coach Marty Schottenheimer
Jan. 4, 1998 AFC Divisional L vs Denver Broncos 14-10, head coach Marty Schottenheimer
Jan. 11, 2004 AFC Divisional L vs Indianapolis Colts 38-31, head coach Dick Vermeil
Jan. 6, 2007 AFC Wildcard L at Indianapolis Colts 23-8, head coach Herm Edwards
Jan. 9, 2007 AFC Wildcard L vs Baltimore Ravens 30-7, head coach Todd Haley

Frustrating enough is the fact is KC is 31-1 at home during the regular season combining the '95, '97, '03 and 2010 seasons at Arrowhead. But after today the home playoff game record is 0-4. Better days are likely ahead but after today its simply just more heart break for the fans of the red and gold. Yes, seven straight playoff losses is a unwelcomed NFL record that is all the Chiefs.

One Game Doesn't Define a Season

Yesterday the Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Oakland Raiders to end the regular season in large part to a lousy fourth quarter. Following this it seemed everyone on the internet and TV said KC was done. Yes the Chiefs lost and are 7-1 at home at the new Arrowhead, but its just one week even if the third seed was on the line. Before you crown the Ravens as the winner just remember those picking against KC probably just remember week one when they were on MNF the only time the country saw them which isn't many probably because it was the second game that Monday.

Return to the Playoffs

Sunday, January 9 the Kansas City Chiefs will host the Baltimore Ravens in the divisional round of the NFL Playoffs at the new Arrowhead Stadium. It will be the first time since the 2007 the team has been in the playoffs when they lost to the Colts. Against the Colts in 2004 was the last time KC hosted a playoff game. The Chiefs will be trying to win a playoff game for the first time since the 1994 season when they defeated the Houston Oilers at the Astrodome behind Joe Montana. That same season was the last time KC won a home playoff game vs the Pittsburgh Steelers. More through out the week on this but just to wet the whistle.
