1. This doesn't surprise me. They were sliding around the field like they were wearing skates. The difference between the two teams' ability to move was obvious. And it wasn't a "KC knows how to play in bad weather" thing. We saw plenty of that in the 00s when the Colts went to Foxboro. This was different.
2. How the FUCK does this happen with an NFL team? Field conditions were not a surprise. Football has been played in the snow for decades. They had access to the field well before kickoff. If the gear people somehow weren't sure which cleats to provide, they could've tested on the field and then chosen. This is basic 101-level equipment management. Someone should be fired for this.
3. Makes me feel better about getting manhandled by the Chiefs in the 1st half. They were still probably the better team, but I didn't think they were that much better. Especially with forcing so many 3-and-outs.
