This Kansas City Chiefs' season is just one kick in the ding ding after another. The New York Giants laid the smack down on Sunday, and the Cowboys are coming to town this week. So we're wondering when the Chiefs will snap this four-game losing streak. (I'm looking at you, Cleveland; nothing like waiting until week 15 to break the skid.)Our friends over at the Riverfront Times gave us this idea. (Hey, did you hear who might buy the Rams?
