The Kansas City Chiefs continue to prove their dominance this season, securing their ninth straight AFC West title after a dramatic win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. This victory not only extended their remarkable streak of winning 15 consecutive games by one score, but it also set them on a path to potentially challenge the New England Patriots’ record of 11 consecutive division titles.
In a game that had fans on the edge of their seats, quarterback Patrick Mahomes orchestrated a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter, setting up a 31-yard field goal attempt. Third-choice kicker Matthew Wright, who had already successfully made three field goals that night, stepped up for the critical kick. In an unexpected turn of events, Wright’s field goal attempt hit the left upright but miraculously bounced in off the post, securing a dramatic win for the Chiefs.
“A DOINK FOR THE DIVISION! IT’S GOOD! @CHIEFS WIN!” the NFL account posted.
Chiefs’ unpredictable season and fan reactions
This nail-biter is just one example of the Chiefs’ unpredictable season. Earlier, the team had blocked a last-second kick against the Denver Broncos and narrowly defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 19-17 thanks to a botched snap. These dramatic victories, particularly over divisional rivals, have kept the Chiefs firmly in control of the AFC West, adding to their mystique.

Fans, ever aware of the team’s uncanny ability to win in thrilling ways, have embraced the Chiefs’ unconventional successes. “Of course, their doink was good,” one fan joked. Another humorously credited the Chiefs with “Black Magic” for pulling off the victory. With their resilience and penchant for last-minute wins, the Chiefs’ season is quickly becoming one for the history books.
Brittany Mahomes has long been in the public eye, and she also had a humorous take on the Chiefs’ fortuitous victory. “If you’re not laughing at this point, you’re no fun,” Brittany Mahomes explained.
