How 6-7 meme sums up Kansas City Chiefs' season perfectly image

The thing about the viral 6-7 meme is that it actually means nothing.

There's no super deep meaning to unpack. It's not complicated in any way. It has caught on more for the absurdity and goofiness of it all, and hey, it's certainly not the oddest trend to go viral.

But it doesn't actually mean anything. It means nothing.

And what better way to sum up the Kansas City Chiefs' current 6-7 record, and dwindling chances of making the playoffs, than that?

It's been a season of nothing for the Chiefs.

Nothing has gone right.

Those one-score games that it seems like the Chiefs always win? Not going right this year.

Right when one player gets healthy, another gets hurt, or in the most recent case, pretty much the entire offensive line. Certainly not going right.

Travis Kelce, the future first-ballot Hall of Famer, keeps dropping the football. Nothing going right, besides a wedding date.

And if the Chiefs don't put together a miracle finish, their always-filled column of playoff results for each year of the last decade will also feature something new: nothing.

There's a phrase in world football (aka soccer) that's much older than the 6-7 meme, a remark that says a team is "all at 6s and 7s." The idea there is that a team that comes out at a 10 is at full intensity, full throttle, playing their best, and being at a 6 or a 7 just isn't good enough.

The Chiefs are 6-7, not good enough, certainly never going to be irrelevant but also at major risk of being a nothing during this season's playoffs. Yep, 6-7 gets it just right.
