Chefs were Close

Okay, the Chefs were close to a win Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. But before we get our Super Bowl travel plans made, let's remember how the game progressed. The first 10 points were gifts. The Cowboys turned the ball over to the Chefs in great field position, and the Chefs converted that field position into 10 points - field goal and a very short touchdown drive.

With the score 10-0, 13-3, 13-10, I never even briefly considered the Chefs would win. The Cowboys quickly scored 10 points late in the game to pull to a 20-13 advantage. My belief the Chefs would do whatever it took to lose was validated. Then the unthinkable happened. For the first time in recent history, the Chefs worked a 2-minute drill. With the help of Cowboy penalties, the Chefs tied the game inside of 1 minute left in the game.

WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?

I will admit my confidence in a 1-15 record this year is now shaken. Are the Chefs improving or is Dallas that bad? I don't know. Dallas quickly ended the Chef's hopes of a win by completing a long pass and run for a touchdown during their first possession in overtime. Order was restored to the universe. Will that universal order continue? Next up for the Chefs are the 2-3 Washington Redskins. Could this be the Chef's first win? Washington has already given 2 teams their first and only win of the season. These guys are pretty bad too. But could the Chefs actually win one?

Nah. I'll keep the faith. I believe their perfect season record will continue for a couple more weeks.
