Kansas City Chiefs: Fresh Hot Takes From Sunday
By Ben Almquist
The Kansas City Chiefs played an ugly game and ended up losing to the Houston Texans this Sunday. Of course that means there were plenty of hot takes floating around the internet.
There is no denying that the Kansas City Chiefs played a pretty bad game of football this week. Especially on offense, where almost every kind of mistake possible was made.

The takes were piping hot yesterday, and I’ll run down some of the best.
For those of you who don’t know, a “hot take” is a large generalization or overreaction based on limited information. Sports are one of the preeminent targets for hot takes, and the NFL especially.
