When a team is winning continuously, in historic proportions, of course, there will be questions. There will be crazy theories trying to debunk their wins. And for the past three years, the Chiefs have been that team. People have come up with all sorts of theories about them. From blaming Roger Goodell to calling out the refs. Some think it’s the Chiefs that are running the league and not the other way around. And on Sunday, Patrick Mahomes and Co., for the third time in a row, conquered the AFC title. It was once again time for people to bring up all those wild theories. Still think the Chiefs used black magic to get to this point? Well, Tavia Hunt has come up with an answer for you.

Mrs. Hunt took a trip down memory lane, back to 2012 when the Chiefs had a nightmare season, scraping only two wins out of 14 games. Well, it’s kind of sounding unbelievable, right? “In 2012, we were broken – winning only 2 games and facing an unimaginable tragedy. It was a humbling, desperate season, and we had nowhere to turn but to God,” recalled Tavia in her latest Instagram post.

Not being able to secure wins wasn’t the only tragedy the Chiefs went through. Though Tavia hasn’t talked about it in her post, the unimaginable tragedy that season was Jovan Belcher‘s death. The Chiefs’ LB k—-d himself outside the KC practice facility in front of HC Romeo Crennel. Jovan and his girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, were having issues. The 25-year-old, in a fit of rage, k—-d Perkins first and then himself.

Tavia talked about turning to God after that horrible year. Coach Romeo Crennel couldn’t have continued after that, even if he wanted to. What happened behind closed doors back then is unknown. And how everyone dealt with it remains a mystery. After parting ways with Crennel, Clark Hunt knocked on Andy Reid’s door. 

“What Clark, Andy, Brett Veach, and Mark Donovan have built over the past decade is more than a football team. It’s a culture grounded in winning with character, honoring tradition, inspiring our fans, and uniting and uplifting our community.” In Andy Reid’s first year as HC, the Chiefs improved dramatically, jumping from just two wins to eleven. Since 2016, they have had a stranglehold on the AFC West’s first spot. The team now has three Super Bowl wins to their name. This year, they are closer than any franchise ever to securing a three-peat. And people have been calling out the refs for helping them achieve this feat. 

Tavia Hunt addresses the situation of refs being biased

“By God’s grace, we’ve had success, but it’s not ‘black magic’ or referee favoritism (check the stats)—it’s all about hard work, belief, and purpose.” That’s Tavia Hunt’s message to everyone who thinks the Chiefs’ success is some kind of magic. It’s a wild theory, but as Tavia put it, it all comes down to the dedication and effort the team puts in.

The 53-year-old dedicated it all to God and also gave QB Patrick Mahomes his flowers. “Patrick Mahomes leads with humility and puts God first. Marcellus Casey, our team chaplain, pours into players and their families through weekly Bible studies and prayer.” The Chiefs QB, a firm believer, has frequently spoken about his faith. After winning the AFC championship on Sunday, the first thing Patrick Mahomes said was, “First of all, I want to give all glory to God.”

So, maybe people should take a step back and give these crazy theories a break. Instead, why not just enjoy the game? Whether we like it or not, the Chiefs are in the Super Bowl once again. Let’s appreciate the last game of this season because, after that, we’ll be in for a long break before the next season kicks off.
