Prior to their Week 4 win over the Baltimore Ravens, the world was falling in on the Kansas City Chiefs who were staring 1-3 in the face.
Poor offensive play and injury-riddled, many thought Andy Reid's team was going to get curb-stomped by the Ravens, but as it turned out, it was going to be Kansas City dishing out the punishment on Sunday, to the tune of a 37-20 win.
Given what was at stake for both teams, you could have been forgiven for thinking that it was the be-all and end-all to get a win for Kansas City. Bur as Xavier Worthy explains, the locker room was calm ahead of what was a monster AFC battle.
"Nobody stresses out, it's football at the end of the day," Worthy said on the Rich Eisen Show. "You don't treat no game bigger than the next."

Are Chiefs really back?
We will get that answer in Week 5 when the Chiefs travel to face the Jacksonville Jaguars, who at 3-1, have the best defense in football, who take the football away for fun.
Many were lauding the Chiefs for their win last week, but everyone beats up on the Ravens defense, so now comes a huge test of the offense's newfound confidence, and on the road as well, we are about to see if Kansas City has really rediscovered its mojo or not.
At 2-2, the Chiefs have gotten their teeth into the season, and having worked hard to get back there, the last thing Reid's team wants is to have the Ravens win count for nothing because of a loss to Jacksonville.
But win, and the Chiefs might officially be back.
