For Pete's Sake

Kansas City Chiefs share a hype video ahead of postseason game against the Steelers

The NFL playoffs start this weekend, which one would think might be all the motivation players would need.

But if the Chiefs need an extra boost, they can look back at what was being said about them following a 27-3 loss to the Tennessee Titans in Nashville.

The Chiefs were soundly beaten, and many pundits thought it marked the end of their postseason hopes — even though it was late October. As we all know, the Chiefs reeled off eight straight victories and won nine of their final 10 games.

That helped the Chiefs win an unprecedented sixth straight AFC West title and get the No. 2 seed in the playoffs. With the Chiefs set to face the Steelers in a Wild Card Game on Sunday, the team used some of those pundit comments for a hype video which also asking fans at Arrowhead Stadium to be loud on Sunday.

“There’s been a lot of noise this season... it’s time to make some of our own,” the Chiefs wrote on Twitter while sharing the video. A fun part of this is seeing fans share the same message as the players, while also showing highlights from the season.
