Couple of drives later, and the chiefs are in easy field goal range, but down by 4. Game ends on downs. It sets up the Elway vs. Favre Superbowl, which is much better for ratings than Grbac/Favre.

Then, the next year, the donks violate the cap, win a superbowl with veterans they are able to keep because of the violation, but it isn't discovered until after the season? Really? Then they get slapped with a draft pick as the penalty? Hmm, ok. That's when I began to think it was at least partially influenced, if not rigged.
