We're going to be hearing a lot of that these next couple weeks. And nobody should be upset about it at all.
It's the media's job to sell this game. On paper, this is a laugher. The Chiefs are a MUCH better team. As I said earlier ITT, Tampa Bay's ONLY path to victory is for their D-Line to manhandle us up front so badly that it completely blows up our offensive gameplan.
It's a miniscule possibility and it's quite literally the only way Tampa Bay has a chance in this game. So of course the media is going to run with that narrative. They have to find a reason that this game can be close so they can pump it up as a great matchup.
Otherwise it will be two weeks of (factual) Chiefs are the best team and this is going to be a blowout. Which is boring and doesn't sell.
So when you hear this stuff in the media over the next 12 days, don't be upset. It's highly likely these talking heads don't believe it themselves. They're just trying to do their job and find a way to sell a game that frankly isn't all that much of one.
