NFL Fans Hilariously Joke Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs Are Using Black Magic to Keep Their Winning Streak Alive

The Kansas City Chiefs remain the only undefeated team in the NFL through Week 10 — but the results and the performances have not been similar. Though K.C. is a perfect 9-0, the way they’ve won those games has been far from perfect.

Their latest triumph, a comeback win over the division-rival Denver Broncos, was also their most peculiar — and the closest call to date. Kansas City came into this matchup as a favorite of more than a touchdown. And yet, there they were in the 2nd quarter, down 14-3 at home.

That’s when the so-called “voodoo” started. After two 2nd-quarter touchdowns, the Broncos were shut out the rest of the way. A Travis Kelce TD and two Harrison Butker FGs made it 16-14 for the Chiefs, with six minutes left. Down two points, all the Broncos needed was a field goal, and thankfully, they got the ball at the 40 after Butker’s illegal kickoff.

Rookie Bo Nix drove the Broncos down to the Chiefs’ 17-yard-line on a 12-play, 43-yard drive. There was no way the ensuing 35-yard field goal attempt would be anything other than a success, right? Wrong.

Instead, Denver’s protection completely broke down, and Will Lutz’s kick was blocked.

KC fans wasted no time acknowledging how wild their team’s run to 9-0 has been. Hilarious theories on how the Chiefs keep finding ways to win without dominating any of their opponents have been rampant.

One of the funniest came from @TheGoatMahomes on Twitter. The user posted a video of what seemed like some sort of black magic or satanic-type ritual with the caption:

“What the Chiefs do in practice”

Obviously, the implication is that there’s no way the Chiefs should be able to keep getting so lucky. In fact, according to Opta, this was the 9th straight game in which the Chiefs were down in the second half and came back to win. That’s an NFL record.

NFL fans have tons of funny theories about the Chiefs’ success

And yet, here we are. There must be some black magic or Illuminati-style conspiracy at play, right? Another user, @therealdoriank_ agreed that there is definitely something fishy going on with Kansas City players, commenting a video of their unusual team huddle.

While some fans believe it’s their practice of voodoo bringing them luck, others have a different name for it: Tayvoodoo. As in, Taylor Swift voodoo.

Chiefs safety Justin Reid was basking in the glory of his team’s 9-0 start after the game. He even took to social media to ask his followers to make his day even better by sharing Broncos’ fan reactions to the shocking field goal debacle.

While most of the focus was on the last play of the game, some were looking closer at the first 59 minutes. As has become the norm after Chiefs games, there were many Twitter threads concerning purportedly biased calls against K.C. One such thread was shared by MLFootball.

However, this game seems like a stretch when it comes to the Chiefs-referee conspiracy theory. If Alex Forsyth doesn’t get pancaked and the rest of the left side of the Broncos offensive line holds up, Lutz likely buries that field goal. Referees couldn’t have changed that.
