Even at this altitude of 4,000 meters, we played against the referees, the police, and the ball boys, who were taking the balls off the field and putting them on the field. It was a real mess. This isn't what we expect for world football or South American football. What we want is to grow even further. This kind of attitude, especially when playing at altitude, is difficult. I hope CONMEBOL takes action, precisely because we have everything recorded. This can't happen; it's absurd.

But advanced stats cannot even capture just how unbelievably lucky the Chiefs were last season. Including playoffs, 12 of their 17 wins were by one score. They beat the Broncos on a blocked chip-shot field goal. They beat the Ravens because Isaiah Likely's toe was out of bounds in the end zone. They would've lost to Tampa if the Bucs had just gone for a two-point conversion late in regulation.
