The season ended in disappointment. On the day of that last game in 2014, Justin Houston broke Derrick Thomas’ team sack record and Chase Daniel did enough to help the Chiefs knock the Chargers out of the playoffs, but that makes for a lousy rallying point.
The team lost seven games, each of them with varying degrees of sting, ultimately shoved into the NFL’s basket of also-rans because of a little bad luck, too much bad play and too many holes in the roster.
In that way, it was a collective disappointment. Andy Reid and the coaches wear some blame for wet-paper performances against the Titans and Raiders.
