The Kansas City Chiefs have one very painful memory of Marcus Mariota, but in hindsight, we should be thanking him.
I remember the night. It was a cold January game at Arrowhead Stadium. My family had gone to watch the Chiefs (hopefully) win their first home playoff game in what felt like forever. They were playing the Tennessee Titans.
Alex Smith was the quarterback, and the Kansas City Chiefs were division winners with an okay 10–6 record.
