Andy Reid’s Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Houston Texans 23-14, falling just two wins away from making history as the first NFL team to win three consecutive Super Bowls. He also appeared in the AFC Championship Game for the seventh year in a row against Josh Allen’s Buffalo Bills. Patrick Mahomes is aiming for his fourth Super Bowl title after the Chiefs cemented their dynasty by defeating the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas last February.
NFL analyst Chris Broussard deemed the Chiefs an ‘evil empire’.
The Kansas City Chiefs face stiff competition from rival players, pundits and fans to end the Buffalo Bills’ hopes of making it to the Super Bowl, but this is a team that consistently wins. It is also a general principle of sports. I was hated. Their season will end with a loss to the Buffalo Bills, but the players would like nothing more than for the Bills to go all the way at the expense of the Chiefs.
Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey urged the Bills to dismantle the Chiefs, saying they can’t “keep running away like this.” Humphrey tweeted: “There’s no reason I’m saying this other than because I’m hated. The Bills, or any NFC team, has to beat the Chiefs. We can’t let them keep getting away with it.” Tweeted it and caused a stir.
However, NFL analyst Chris Broussard disagrees with Humphrey’s assessment that the Chiefs have no longer achieved “villain status.” “They haven’t earned the status of villains,” Broussard said on Fox Sports’ “First Things First. They’re clearly now villains. They’re the new evil empire.” . There’s no doubt about that. And I thought so. There’s nothing wrong with what Marlon Humphrey said.
“It’s not Brady’s Patriots, it’s not Montana’s Niners, it’s not the Iron Curtain Steelers of the ’70s, it’s not the great Cowboys of the ’90s, it’s not the team that’s doing what the Chiefs are doing now. In my opinion, it looks like they’re treating them like any other great football player, like they belong in another league…minor league compared to the Chiefs. It looks like a team.”

The Chiefs have appeared in the AFC Championship for the seventh consecutive year and are on the brink of a historic third consecutive championship. However, such undeniable success also made them “villains” to much of the NFL.
