Ravens win 30-7

So, this one making my list might raise a few eyebrows, as mostly everyone assumed the Ravens would win, and probably pretty easily. But this one has special enough circumstances to make the list. As you may or may not know, the Chiefs won Super Bowl IV, and have been pretty mediocre ever since. Their only real success came in the early 90s, when we landed Joe Montana and he led us to the AFC Championship in 1994. That win in the divisional round (against the Oilers) is the last time the Chiefs won a playoff game. Since I was 4 at the time, I have no memory of this.

Flash forward to 2011, me and my brother are excited after clinching the division, and get the "great" idea of going to the game. $260 later, we embark on the road to KC. This is the only time I'm ever at a postseason game for one of my favorite teams, so that is why this makes the list.

First note, seeing a flyover in person is pretty cool


Second note, our only score of the game(that did put us up on top) was Charles 41 yard TD run, was right at us (seats about 20 rows up in the lower corner of the end zone) and at that moment I thought we had a real shot at it. As the list goes on, that is the truly great part of these terrible losses, the belief of winning

Then we get killed the rest of the game, Cassel suchs, blablabla, and although it was great to be at the newly renovated Arrowhead and bought some stuff (Berry jersey and Moeaki shirt, which adds a little to the "hilarity" of next season), it was a semi depressing 8 hour drive back
