Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.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.MORE: Jalen Hurts made the worst play in fantasy football historyNothing 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.MORE:How the Buffalo Bills at home in the snow in December are an unbreakable streakThere’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.More news:Texas Tech commit breaks 72-year old TX HS football rushing recordThe Raiders with one of the worst bad beats you’ll ever seeChet Holmgren shows the proper respect to Red PandaNotre Dame rushed for more yards in the SEC title game than AlabamaCommanders pulled an RG3 on Jayden DanielsThe only 2 kickers as bad this season as Harrison Butker have been released
