"Dwayne Bowe is a star now, his "I AM THE GREATEST" hat looking at least a little truthful, which is this Chiefs season's defining story and the team's most encouraging development going forward.

So long as it doesn't turn awful.

Bowe is the new leadership's masterpiece, the face of a transition from punks to playoffs, the shining example of the organization's emphasis on character, and the knucklehead receiver playing like an honest-to-goodness MVP candidate is a dream come true.

So long as it doesn't turn into a nightmare.

Bowe made 13 catches for 170 yards and three touchdowns in the Chiefs' 42-24 win over the Seahawks on Sunday, as good a game as any NFL receiver will have this season, and today team officials cross their fingers and hope that Bowe doesn't start acting like a superstar now that he's finally playing like one.

Because if he fails this test, Bowe's 13 touchdowns in the last seven games will feel more like an agonizing reminder of what could've been.

And if he passes, we're seeing the emergence of perhaps the most productive receiver in franchise history and an absolute key to everything the Chiefs are trying to do.

"My job is to keep my head down, run, block and catch," he says.

So, do you trust him?"
