I was thinking the same thing until they showed that stat about the Pats also having a 13-game win streak in one score games in 2003 and 2004.

They went back-to-back with 14-2 regular seasons. And those Pats teams were loaded. Like one of the most impressive rosters you'll find over a 2-year-span. I wasn't aware they were on the edge so many times.

If they could pull it off, so can the Chiefs. Mahomes still has only lost 3 playoff games and you remember them all. AFC CG against the Pats where the d-line-man was offsides, the Super Bowl against Brady's Bucs and the AFC CG against Burrow and the Bengals. That's how rare their losses are. Chiefs will be a TOUGH out, just like every other year.

There's close games from 20 years ago, then there's blocked FGs against dogshit teams as time expired. Not all 1 score games are created equal. We all know that after last year lol

I don't want to do the Brady was incredibly lucky (and also great) thing again, but those Patriots are absurd outliers and a bigger portion than you would guess was Kicking. In Brady’s entire Patriots career, they lost exactly one close Game due to a late missed FG or XP. One. To Arizona of all teams. When you flip it the other way, the first time a Brady QBed team lost a game to a late FG of 50 or more Yards was the 2021 Bucs.

*Edit* I should have explained late/clutch FGs and XPs. Those are defined as 4th Quarter with a margin of 4 or less Points in either direction.

I'm always here for that. Peyton is the undisputed GOAT. Everybody else can talk to a wall.

Other than that, yeah, that's why I said those teams were loaded, not just Brady. Lots of HOFers on those teams. But yaeh, I agree with the points you made. Great teams, but still lots of luck involved, no doubt.

Dude I forgot about that. I remember you said that before. That's actually a crazy stat
