Misery Index · Despair
Chiefs fans burying the season in real time, with Reid's clock management as the headstone.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
The T.Thornton 61-yard strike and the Mahomes-to-Kelce touchdown said this was a winnable game, which is precisely what makes the Lutz 35-yarder at the buzzer feel like a slow-motion mugging. Two B.Nix completions in the final two minutes — Sutton for 20, Franklin for 32 — walked Denver into chip-shot range while the offense settled for a three-and-out when it needed a clock-killing drive. The math on January is starting to look unkind.
