The Kansas City Chiefs are your 2010 AFC West Champions. The Chiefs have won ugly (think Cleveland) and they've won pretty (think ST Louis). They've done it with a dominating ground game and an opportunistic defense. They have the discipline, hunger and belief that their not done yet. You know what? I believe they aren't done yet too.
The Chiefs ended San Diego's strangle hold on the division by opening up the 2010 season with a win and continuing to win even when they shoulda lost. Everybody kept waiting for them to fall apart, for their youth and inexperience to take over and close games to turn into losses. Well it never happened. They won despite all odds.
They have a few players who used this season to finally display the talents we all knew they had (think Dwayne Bowe and Derrick Johnson). We had players settle in to new positions and thrive now that they're comfortable (think Tamba Hali and Glenn Dorsey). We had players show they were capable of being the best at their position (think Matt Cassel, Jamal Charles and Brandon Flowers). We had a Rookies prove they deserved to be drafted (think Tony Moeaki, Javier Arenas, Dexter McCluster and Kendrick Lewis).
The 2010 Chiefs got contributions from everywhere. The Players and the Coaches all did what they had to do week in and week out to give the team a chance to win. Fortunately they won enough to grab the torch from San Diego and show they're going to be division players for the forseable future!
