The 1972 Miami Dolphins can rest easy today. The 2008 Detroit Lions, not so much.
The Green Bay Packers’ chase of the 1972 Dolphins’ perfect season ended in the most unlikeliest of places Sunday afternoon. Who could have known that the Grinch lived in Kansas City and rooted for the Chiefs?
Of all the teams to end the Packers’ perfect run at 13 games (19 dating back to last year), if you said you knew all along that it would be the Chiefs in Week 15, you’re either a liar or you’ve got an arrowhead for your hood ornament and your dog’s named Stenerud.
The Chiefs? The 6-8 Chiefs, who just fired their coach Todd Haley last week and moved Romeo Crennel into his spot for an interim basis?
Then again, is KC’s 19-14 victory over the Pack any crazier than what the Colts pulled off against our Tennessee Titans?
