By putting Kansas City at number 30, I’m suggesting that they won’t be representing the AFC in the Super Bowl this year. This is primarily because Patrick Mahomes is still a young quarterback who has not proven himself in the playoffs…yet.

Furthermore, star running back, Kareem Hunt, was recently released by the Chiefs after a video surfaced of him assaulting a young woman in a hotel hallway. The Chiefs are now without one of their best offensive weapons and have reverted to Spencer Ware as their lead back. This has now opened the door for Bryce Love to come in and play immediately.

Love ran for over 2,000 yards and scored 19 rushing touchdowns in his junior year at Stanford. This season, he has battled a few nagging injuries and frankly, Stanford’s offense just hasn’t been that good. Their offense was mostly one-dimensional in the run game, and once defenses stopped the run, the Cardinal had nothing left to do.
