Shortly after this season began, many fans were questioning where the magic from last season was. The Chiefs started the 2010 season with four straight wins, including a magical night on Monday Night Football to open the season up against the Chargers. In 2011, the Chiefs started the season with two straight blow outs. In week three, however, a little magic started to show against the Chargers, but it just ended in disappointment. The magic seemed to be gone in Kansas City.
What happened next was at first interpreted as perhaps a fluke, but has now got fans starting to believe once again. Three straight wins, including one following a bye week. A 3-3 record after starting 0-3. And now the Chiefs are a win away from a three-way tie for first place in the AFC West. And that game comes against the San Diego Chargers, on Monday Night Football. That's the same matchup that got the Chiefs season out to such a fast start last year. Can the Chiefs recapture that magic from last season?
Some could say they already have.
