Unfortunately, it happens in a lot of sports. i was never at the level of professionals however I can remember bowling leagues where one team would start out really strong and then when the other team started to get hot, couldn't find a way to get a strike or spare.
I think we forget that these are people, Hill had just suffered a family loss, Kelce got targeted and Jones injured. Once the Tightens started mounting a comeback, it turned into a perfect storm that included fluke plays, bad decisions and from what I could tell, poor effort.
I believe this is why the Chiefs struggle so much when they are favored; there's no pressure when you are the underdog. They can't handle success.
