For Chiefs fans, playoff loss leaves them with an all-too-familiar feeling
It happened again.
The Chiefs’ playoff hopes were dashed with another loss in an AFC Divisional playoff game, as they lost 18-16 to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night at Arrowhead Stadium.
For Chiefs fans, it was a sadly familiar feeling.
And that is life as a Chiefs fan. Just a kick in the nuts in the playoffs every single time.

And the Chiefs have not won a home playoff game since Arrowhead had AstroTurf

As a Chiefs fan you have to remember to never get your hopes up, especially during the playoffs.

Way too many self inflicted errors for the Chiefs tonight. Drops, penalties, blown timeouts, missed reads. They beat themselves.

And the @Chiefs do what the Chiefs do best in the playoffs. Lose. Even better, they lost to a team that didn't get in the endzone.

About the most Chiefs loss ever. D kept THOSE 3 from getting a TD but offense has 0 urgency and a holding call to lose. Yep thats the Chiefs

Chiefs fans are so good to the @Chiefs but they cant show up for a game and give the fans some love! Everything was setup for you guys!

I've just come to accept that the Chiefs are cursed. It's that simple.

Bad drops, bad penalties, D on the field too much, bad clock management, all adds up to what might have been for the #Chiefs
