NFL franchise Kansas City Chiefs and OT Orlando Brown Jr. are off to a terrific start in the playoffs after a slow start to their regular season. The Chiefs were firing on all cylinders during the pre-season but were running into some issues at the start of the season. Unforced turnovers were a recurring issue for the Chiefs as pressure piled up on QB Patrick Mahomes.

But the offense ended up hitting their stride as weeks progressed. The offense clicked more often and turnovers went down gradually. They went on an unbeaten run to end up with a 12-5 win-loss record and clinching the AFC West title in dominating fashion. So entering the playoffs they came up against Mike Tomlin’s struggling Pittsburgh Steelers (9-7).
