AFC rivals haven't closed gap on Chiefs...
A good read here in case you missed it, I will put the text in a spoiler...

Not only did no one close the gap -- the Chiefs just made it even wider. We improved more than any other team (contender) in the AFC did.

I would argue Cleveland has had a great offseason and might be ready for a deep playoff run

Cleveland looks really solid on paper. Will be all about Baker.

I think both Buffalo and Cleveland had good, solid drafts and will be improved.

Nobody is on our level but I think one team deserves a lot of credit.
The Browns They had one of the best offseasons of any team. They completely revamped their secondary and defense overall. John Johnson Troy Hill Grant Delpit-back after IR as a rookie Greg Newsome Anthony Walker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah Then they added Tak McKinnley, Malik Jackson and Clowney. Not huge fans of them but as your 3rd, 4th and 5th rushers? Not bad. They had a terrific offseason. Too bad about that whole Baker Mayfield thing though |

The other AFC teams were no threat to the Chiefs last year, and will not be this year. The only real threats are in the NFC.

Cleveland is maybe the biggest threat now to me. I think we saw peak Buffalo last year.

Miami killed this draft thanks in part to the trade with Houston.
Glad they didn't draft Herbert last year. If they add Watson or Rodgers....watch out! |

I’ll say this too - if an AFC team adds Rodgers or Watson (if he can play), that team might obviously jump to 2nd on the list immediately.
Miami or Denver both would IMO. |

An AFC team needs to add Julio to have a prayer.

Our offense is going back to 2019, our defense is night and day better than 2019, it's going to be a fun year of hearing, "how do you stop the Chiefs" and "pick your poison" every week...

Cleveland did some good shit and on paper they are pretty complete, I agree. But their QB will always be the worst on the field in any contender-vs-contender matchup, whether it's us, Buffalo, Tampa, Green Bay, etc. And not just marginally, either. Mayfield's a pretty steep drop off after the likes of Mahomes, Rodgers etc.

It’s Cleveland and it’s going to come down to whether Baker can take the next step. OBJ will be back and Baker wasn’t playing so hot when he was on the field. That defense though.
