Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
This is one of my favorite Bible verses, and I'll admit I didn't wake up this morning with too much faith - in the Chiefs.
In order to make the playoffs, Kansas City needed Cinnicinati (at home), Tennessee (home) and Denver (home) to lose AND to beat Jacksonville (in KC). Improbable. Unlikely, right?
Well, it all happened!
Tennessee got hammered by New England. Cinnicinnati lost in overtime to Pittsburgh on a long touchdown by Santonio Holmes. And the most improbable of all things was savored for last. San Francisco upset Denver in overtime 26-23 on a field goal by Joe Nedney (New Year's will be Joe Nedney Day in Kansas City).
Oh yeah, the Chiefs beat the Jags 35-30, and guess what?
"We're going to the ship! We're going to the ship! (What!) We're going to the ship!"
Not quite, but there is hope now. We're in the tournament, and I have faith.
We play Indy in the first round, and they can't stop the run, the thing the Chiefs do best. Guess what time it is Peyton? It's time to "Dig a Hole," and bury yourself for this season because LJ, the Roc and the Chiefs are coming for you.
As Derrick Thomas once said during the playoffs: BELIEVE!
That's all for now. That's all we have to do.
