He makes a valid point regarding the team's focus. There's a reason it's so hard to go on long winning streaks in the NFL; it takes an otherworldly mental edge to win games week after week after week.
I don't feel like the Chiefs were lacking that in Oakland (Travis Kelce excluded), but I do think they were against SD. Now if we're lucky that was one of those teachable moment games where it slaps them back into reality and they come out this week with renewed sharpness.
But it seems to me that most long winning streaks tend to end after a close W prolongs it. The Chiefs made a TON of mental errors last week. They were arguably more sloppy in that W than they were in some of their earlier Ls. They physically dominated the Chargers but just couldn't seem to stay out of their own way.
That shit will catch up to them. If they didn't learn a valuable lesson last week at home, they could let this one trip them up on the road.

Maybe they were looking past the Chargers, maybe it was the shit weather, but the Chiefs did not look interested to be playing that game for the majority of it. I hope you're right saying it was a teachable moment. I hope Andy opened up a shoe store in some asses over that game.
