"The Patriots with Tom Brady as the starter only started 5-4 twice," Simmons said on his podcast. "In 2001 and 2002. In 2001, he didn't even start the first three games. In 2002, they finished 9-7. ... So, everybody can take a big heaping sip of settle-down juice in the GOAT discussion. "Tom Brady is, we're still good. Win a few more Super Bowls and maybe don't start the season 5-4 and we can throw you in the GOAT convo." The Chiefs have struggled to find consistency this season. They have dealt with injuries and suspensions up to this point, but you can never count out on them, especially in the playoffs.
