I voted the Lions. They are visibly the best to me and would trounce the Chiefs if they end up meeting in the Super Bowl.
They have something special there.
:laughing-emoji-reaction-button:
14 game winning streak >>>
6 game winning streak
Chiefs are on the 8th longest win streak consisting of regular and post-season games in NFL history.
Nah. I just really like the Lions this year and to me they are better. Chiefs have looked horrible on offense.
Heard on a podcast today: 43 NFL teams have started 8-0, 31 in the Super Bowl era. The 2024 Chiefs have the lowest points differential (+56) of those 43 teams.
Interestingly, this is the 3rd Chiefs team to begin 8-0. The 2003 team (**** Vermeil) went 13-3, lost to the Colts 31-38 in the divisional round. That was the last year Priest Holmes stayed healthy; his production was insane, three straight years over 2K YFS, last two he had 51 TDs in 30 g.
The other 8-0 KCC team was 2013, Andy’s first season. Finished 11-5 and lost the WC 44-45, again to the Colts.
ETA: Thinking about this more, I don’t know that having a low point differential indicates lessor quality. I think it speaks more to the parity & level of competition in the present NFL versus prior eras.
