Chiefs Interesting thoughts about this weekends game...

Talking through all of the matchups and schemes this week got me thinking (I know, probably not a good thing but bear with me).

The last time the Chiefs were in the AFCCG, it was 25 years ago almost to the day (January 23rd, 1994).

On that day, a shutdown Chiefs defense under defensive masterminds Marty Schottenheimer and Bill Cowher showed up with an aging all-time great QB and an efficient but not spectacular, run-based offense.

The got beat, on the road, by an offensive-minded team with a salty defense that wasn't very good against the run (21 out of 28 teams) but an offense that had weapons everywhere and could run teams right off the field.

How weird is it that almost exactly one quarter century later, the situation is almost EXACTLY reversed?
