The pity is, at this point, the greatness we are watching in real time is threatened every week to be reduced to a footnote. We are witnesses to history, to the rarest form of extended success in a time of professional sport that’s supposed to be ruled by parity. But every year we have to deal with something else first. 

We hold these two truths to be self-evident: 

1. The Chiefs keep winning at a pace that’s been nearly unequaled in the 105-year history of the NFL. 

2. They keep getting the benefit of the doubt on crucial calls every week, toss-up whistles that always seem to be judged in favor of #ChiefsKingdom.
