The NFL season is long, with teams facing and having to overcome all kinds of challenges, from injuries, to on-field failure, to team chemistry, to firings, to personal or individual matters. No matter how difficult the the journey, how large the obstacles, like life, the NFL season sometimes presents you with second chances. As human beings we learn to embrace, take advantage or make the most out of such opportunities because they are so rare and precious. It’s no different for an NFL team or organization.
Two teams with the opportunity to turn their seasons around after a bye week to lick their wounds and contemplate the task before them are the Kansas City Chiefs and the Dallas Cowboys. Of course, the Cowboys have not only had to deal with their on-field trials and tribulations but also the tragedy that befell the team on their week off: the tragic suicide of Marshawn Kneeland. And this at a time when the team was investing in getting reinforcements for their much maligned defense to save their season. How ironic. The last time we saw the Cowboys, they were getting their behinds handed to them at home in embarrassing fashion on Monday night football against the Cardinals. The next time we see them they will have an opportunity to redeem themselves, try to save their season, and honor the death of a teammate on Monday night football with their much needed reinforcements on defense.
Last we saw the Chiefs they were losing their 5th straight regular season game to an overrated Bills team after having won three in a row to climb back into the playoff race. Now, after a week off, they get a second chance to take on another overrated, hyped team in their own division. The Denver Broncos have won 6 games in a row despite playing some awful football and miraculously sit atop a very competitive AFC West. I expect the Chiefs to make a big statement come Sunday by humbling the Broncos and putting them in their place to start the second half of their season.
