Not comfortably. Not convincingly. But they win. Lady luck is no stranger when it comes to the Kansas City Chiefs, or so, we&rsquo;ve been told. The Chiefs are now 13-1, with their latest victory over the Browns. They have also taken a step, albeit staggering, towards clinching the AFC number 1 seed spot. The same way <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/patrick-mahomes-injury-update-chiefs-qbs-ankle-not-broken-day-to-day-after-scare-vs-browns-says-andy-reid\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Patrick Mahomes staggered out of the field, with an ankle injury<\/a>.<br><br>What&rsquo;s intriguing, to say the least is that they are also yet to score 30+ points this season, and they&rsquo;re, well, 13-1. That puts them in the company of struggling teams like the Giants, Raiders, and Patriots. For a team known for fireworks on offense, that&rsquo;s&hellip;odd.<br><br>Skill? Sure. But luck? A lot of people think that&rsquo;s in play too.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Offense that doesn&rsquo;t feel like &ldquo;Chiefs offense&rdquo;<\/h2><p>Against the Browns, the Chiefs won 21-7. It sounds clean, solid. But if you look closer, and cracks start to show. Their offense, led by Patrick Mahomes, didn&rsquo;t exactly hum. The first half was&hellip;frustrating. Mahomes threw for 23 yards in the opening quarter. That&rsquo;s it. The team couldn&rsquo;t convert on third downs, going 0-for-3 early and ending the half at 2-for-7.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WIN 13 SECURED &#9989; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wvrIJgK8HV\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/wvrIJgK8HV<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Kansas City Chiefs (@Chiefs) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Chiefs\/status\/1868403605524336870?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>December 15, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Four of their first five possessions were punts.

Without it the score would have looked very different.<br><br>The second half wasn&rsquo;t much better. Mahomes hit a stretch of consecutive incompletions, and the offense stalled with more three-and-outs.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The lucky breaks no one wants to admit<\/h2><p>Okay, no one denies the Chiefs have talent. Mahomes, Reid, Kelce, they&rsquo;re all legit. But if we&rsquo;re being honest? Luck&rsquo;s been their quiet MVP this year. This season, more than 9 of the Chiefs&rsquo; 13 wins have been one-score games.

Ravens: Out-of-bounds touchdown<\/h3><p>In the fourth quarter, Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely caught what could&rsquo;ve been a game-winning touchdown. However, the edge of his toe landed just out of bounds. The Chiefs escaped with a narrow win.<\/p><p><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/refs-save-the-day-again-chiefs-win-19-17-amid-controversial-botched-snap-vs-raiders\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Refs save the day again?

Bengals: Controversial DPI call<\/h3><p>Late in the game, Mahomes completed a deep pass that was negated by a penalty on the offensive line. On the next play, Bengals rookie Daijahn Anthony was flagged for defensive pass interference, gifting the Chiefs a 29-yard gain. Harrison Butker sealed the win with a 51-yard field goal.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Vs. Falcons: Missed pass interference<\/h3><p>In the final minutes, Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins targeted tight end Kyle Pitts in the endzone. A Chiefs cornerback, not even looking at the ball, collided with Pitts, but no pass interference was called. The Falcons settled for a field goal, and the Chiefs won by five.<\/p><p><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/5-times-nfl-referees-blatantly-favored-the-kansas-city-chiefs\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>5 times NFL referees blatantly favored the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a><\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

I\u2019m not some lifelong analyst or stats guru, truth being told, you\\'ve probably never heard of me!\u2014I just know how to research, write, and make things sound good. That\u2019s the job! Got into sports media the same way most people do: by (fortunate) accident. Started with SEO writing, took on a few sports gigs, and now here we are! I cover games, trades, player drama\u2014whatever needs words. Favorite part? The chaos. One day it\\'s a blockbuster trade, the next it\\'s a goat running onto the field. Never boring. Message to readers: If you want deep analysis, there are people for that. If you want sharp, no-BS writing that actually makes sense, stick around.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/n.a.t.a.s.h.a.2\/"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/natasha-bosetheplayoffs-news\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8354"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8354"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8354\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8362,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8354\/revisions\/8362"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8354"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8354"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8354"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
