There is no taking away the two weeks of post-season play by the Chiefs but things may have been a lot different it wasn’t for the Miami Dolphins who despite a losing season, shaped the post-season schedule.
It was a meaningless game for the Dolphins in week 17 but it wasn’t for the Patriots. It wasn’t for the Chiefs. The Dolphins were in Foxboro and the Chiefs and their fan base were expecting to be on the road for their post-season journey.
No one told the Dolphins how things were supposed to be.
It’s fitting now.
