The Kansas City Chiefs are just four days away from taking on the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII and going after their second straight world championship and their third in five seasons.
Despite a young and unproven group of wide receivers who looked unreliable quite often during the regular season, they have made it back to the winner’s circle, which has reinforced their image as the Goliath of the NFL.
There is now a contingent of fans who want the Chiefs to be toppled, not just because star tight end Travis Kelce is dating pop star Taylor Swift, but also because those fans are getting sick of seeing the Chiefs winning big games.
But Pro Bowl defensive end Maxx Crosby wants the Chiefs to win it all again for an interesting reason, per Andrew Siciliano.
“Selfishly I want the Chiefs to win so we can be the ones to take them down, to take them off their pedestal,” Crosby said.

It may laughable, however, to think that Crosby’s Las Vegas Raiders, who have missed the playoffs in each of the last two seasons, would have any chance of taking the Chiefs off their pedestal anytime soon.
Las Vegas went 8-9 this season and had to endure the benching of veteran quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and the firing of head coach Josh McDaniels.
Antonio Pierce, who succeeded McDaniels as interim head coach, is now their permanent head coach, but they have a huge question mark at the QB1 spot.
If they were to answer that question, however, the Raiders should be able to at least compete for a playoff spot in 2024.
They still have one of the best wide receivers in the NFL in Davante Adams, and Jakobi Meyers has looked like a solid WR2, while Crosby posted 14.5 sacks and a league-high 23 tackles for loss.
