Is victory over Vikings a pivot point for the Chiefs?

The Kansas City Chiefs did something on Sunday they haven’t done since September, win a home game. They defeated the Vikings in dramatic fashion 26-23 on Harrison Butker’s 44-yard field goal as time expired. The A-team of Herbie Teope, Sam McDowell, Vahe Gregorian, Sam Mellinger and Blair Kerkhoff provided the postgame breakdown, from the improved play of the defense, to Damien Williams’ 91-yard touchdown burst to the impactful play of Tyreek Hill. The victory improved the Chiefs’ record to 6-3 and with the return of quarterback Patrick Mahomes perhaps looming, the outlook looks more positive for the Chiefs. Read the stories we discussed:Vahe Gregorian: Beyond Mahomes no one animates Chiefs or raises their ceiling like Tyreek Hill - https://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/vahe-gregorian/article236965468.htmlSam Mellinger: Why Harrison Butker might have just kicked the Chiefs into a chase for first-round bye - https://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/sam-mellinger/article236965293.htmlJoy of da feet: Chiefs knock out Vikings with last second kick at Arrowhead - https://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/article236962973.html‘Our kicker’s got some swag’: On Harrison Butker’s career day in the Chiefs’ win - https://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/article236965033.htmlChiefs report card vs. the Vikings: Finally some passing marks for a home victory - https://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/article236964963.htmlThanks to our sponsor, Big O Tires!
