Madden Predicts Results: Kansas City Chiefs VS New England Patriots
Last week I posted the article for the Madden sim predicts Kansas City Chiefs vs New England Patriots where the sim predicted the Chiefs to lose once again. At the end of the article I asked for the fans to do something to push the game into the Chiefs favor. Here is what I said:
"There is one thing that the game could not factor in and that is you. Every single one of you that are going to the game can be the difference between a 35-30 loss and a 37-35 victory. Be loud and be proud Monday night Chiefs fans!"
Well Chiefs fans you did more than that, you helped the Chiefs put in a dominating performance and the fans were a force the whole night. Congratulation Chiefs Kingdom (AND THE FREAKING ROYALS)!
