The Chiefs seem to be losing their reputation: “Their biological clock is already ticking”

The Kansas City Chiefs are still fresh off a 15-2 season and yet another AFC title-but their embarrassing 40-22 Super Bowl LIX loss to the Eagles has sparked growing skepticism about whether their dominant run is nearing its expiration date.

Among the doubters? NBC analyst Mike Florio, who didn’t hold back during a segment with Michael Holley on NFL on NBC. Holley suggested Kansas City’s “biological clock” might be running out, and Florio took it a step further.

“The biological clock is already delivered for the Chiefs,” Florio declared.

That kind of statement is jarring when you consider that the Chiefs, led by Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, have appeared in four of the last five Super Bowls, winning three of them.

But after such a lopsided loss in their most recent appearance, even some believers are starting to ask tough questions.

Are the Chiefs still the NFL’s team to beat?

Yes, Kansas City remains a perennial contender with arguably the best quarterback-coach duo in the league. But cracks in the armor are more visible than ever. The explosive offense that once defined this team has been replaced by a more methodical approach, with the defense often being the main attraction.

Now, that balance has served them well-until it didn’t. The blowout loss to Philadelphia exposed lingering issues: offensive inconsistency, offensive line vulnerabilities, and the lack of a true WR1 following Tyreek Hill‘s departure.

And let’s not forget the rest of the AFC West. Once considered a cakewalk, the division has tightened, with teams like the Chargers, Raiders, and Broncos making notable improvements this offseason.

The Chiefs still have Mahomes, and as long as he’s healthy, they’ll never be written off completely. But skepticism is growing, even among national media figures. The clock analogy suggests that time may be catching up to the Chiefs‘ core-and without a reset or infusion of elite talent, their window could close faster than expected.

But not everyone is buying into the panic. Many argue that Kansas City has built enough trust and goodwill to earn another year before any official doomsday declarations are made. After all, dynasties don’t always fall off a cliff-they fade slowly, and sometimes they roar back.

Florio’s take: harsh reality or hot take?

Florio‘s comment drew backlash on social media, with some calling it premature and reactionary. Others, however, echoed his concern-especially with Travis Kelce aging and Chris Jones entering the final year of his contract.

In many ways, 2025 may prove to be the most defining season of the Mahomes era. If they rebound and reach another Super Bowl, the critics will eat their words. But if the issues persist and the Chiefs fall short again, the “biological clock” narrative might stick.

For now, Kansas City walks a fine line between dynasty and decline-and the football world is watching.

In seiner Premieren-Saison beim FC Bayern steht Vincent Kompany (39) kurz vor dem Gewinn der Meisterschaft.
