Time for an update.

I also discovered and fixed a scoring error in last year's index where I had underweighted the monumental importance of playoff games. That is now fixed.

As background, the best time to be a Chiefs fan before the Andy Reid era was 1969, when Hank Stram ruled the sidelines. The score after Super Bowl IV was 33.4825.

The low point of the franchise was the end of the 2012 season when Andy was brought aboard, at a score of -27.7736.

Talk about a turnround.

The 2020 division win over the Browns brought the score to 35.4573, topping the Stram era.

The 2021 division win over the Bills pushed us over 40 points for the first time, at 42.2041.

The Week 17 win over the Broncos pushed us to a new all-time high at 42.3905.

And then we didn't lose again. Today I am delighted to announce that the Franchise Momentum Index has surpassed 50 points for the first time ever. As of today, our score is 51.5711, making today the best time in history to be a Chiefs fan. I bet you wouldn't have guessed that.

The graph from 2019 to present is a good representation of what is happening in my pants right now.
