Nick Wright says that if the Chiefs would have beaten the Bengals in week 17 then people would have said that the Chiefs have peaked too early and would lose their groove come playoff time.

He said people were speaking this sort of stuff after their last week’s victory also which had put them in a “No Win” situation coming into this game against Bengals as both the victory or the loss would have brought criticism.

If KC would have defeated the Bengals then that would have been their 9th straight victory as they have been on a tear recently and were on the top spot in the AFC.
