The Kansas City Chiefs have become the subject of criticism despite their impressive 9-0 record, being labeled the least impactful team to achieve this milestone. Their point differential of +58 is the lowest among all previous 9-0 teams, raising questions about their performance and luck.

Coach Andy Reid praises the team's resilience, noting their ability to win close games, often relying on a strong defense and the leadership of quarterback Patrick Mahomes. With injuries affecting key players, the Chiefs have adapted their style, focusing on time of possession rather than explosive plays. Their success is attributed to both skill and strategic adjustments rather than sheer luck.
