No one is totally sure what the Kansas City Chiefs are going to look like as a team in 2025. A brutal Super Bowl loss has the capacity to mark the descent of a dynasty that has rode high for so many years, but thanks to Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Andy Reid, the Chiefs aren’t the type of team to completely decline one season later.
But in order for the Chiefs to continue reigning supreme, they need Mahomes to get back to MVP form. Kansas City’s defense paved the way in 2024, but defensive success hasn’t historically been sticky year-over-year. Mahomes is still fully capable of single-handedly winning games for his team, but he may be slipping as an elite one-man army in the eyes of some analysts.
Patrick Mahomes shows the world how he stays chill under pressure in a flamboyant way
Patrick Mahomes isn’t considered the superhero he once was
Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports put together a list of the top five players who most embody Superman in terms of “heart, heroics and awe-inspiring physical gifts“. Mahomes came in at No. 5, tied with Jalen Hurts, with three other quarterbacks ahead of them. Benjamin had this to say about Mahomes’ ranking.
“Neither Hurts nor Mahomes may be everyone’s cup of tea as increasingly rugged rather than aesthetically marvelous leaders, but they adapt to the moment when it matters most. Mahomes, on the other hand, once set a standard for superhuman production as a big-play machine, only to evolve into more of a calculated — you might even say Clark Kent-ian — winner of more recent seasons.“
The rest of the list is as follows.
- Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens
- Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills
- Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals
- Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings
While it’s true that Mahomes hasn’t had a truly extraordinary statistical season since 2022, he’s still more than capable of carrying the Chiefs offense when they need it. With a clean bill of health, a more stout offensive line and plenty of weapons to throw the ball to, we may see Mahomes climb that ranking heading into next season.

Znovuzrození Hranáče: Hodně lidí by to vzdalo, já ale nepolevil
„Užívám si to. Oproti minulé sezoně velká změna. Oživení,“ pochvaluje si Hranáč. Jen pro porovnání, v ročníku 2024/2025 naskočil po svém přestupu z Plzně jen do čtyř bundesligových duelů. Většinou seděl na lavičce, často dokonce na tribuně. A tak si říkal, co bude dál.„Každý hráč je v přestupovém období na špičkách. Nikdy nevíte. Ze začátku jsem byl spíše nakloněný, že opustím Hoffenheim, nebo případně budu stoprocentně soustředěný se prosadit. Dal jsem vše na druhou kartu a vyšlo to,“ zdůrazňuje.Hoffenheim zatím odehrál v novém ročníku tři soutěžní duely, Hranáč byl pokaždé v základní sestavě. Takhle nějak si to v německém klubu zřejmě představovali, když ho minulé léto kupovali z Plzně za v přepočtu 250 milionů korun.Pro v té době nadstandardního ligového stopera to byl svým způsobem šok. Na západě Čech, i předtím v Pardubicích, byl zvyklý nastupovat prakticky pořád.

Ochutnávka z Paměti sportu: Nezapomenutelné zlaté příběhy ze Sydney
Obě české legendy v Sydney zářily. Železný získal už třetí olympijské zlato v řadě, což dodnes nikdo v oštěpařském sektoru nedokázal. „Přitom ještě měsíc před hrami mě trápily takové bolesti zad, že jsem nebyl schopen hodit ani sedmdesát metrů,“ vzpomíná atlet. Nakonec se v pravý čas dal dohromady a jeho finálový souboj s britským kamarádem Stevem Backleyem patřil k vrcholům olympijských soutěží.Také Hilgertová si v peřejích dojela pro obhajobu nejcennější medaile a způsob, jakým zlato získala, byl fenomenální. Francouzku Brigitte Guibalovou porazila bezmála o 5 sekund. Symfonii mezi brankami předvedla díky perfektně nastavené hlavě, precizní technice a neobyčejné rychlosti. „Nikdy jsem to neměla v sobě tak, že chci úspěch vydřít,“ připouští vodní slalomářka.V nové epizodě Paměti sportu se dozvíte i o tom, proč se Železný lekl, když mu při prvním zlatém hodu v Barceloně 1992 ulétl bederní pás, nebo v čem je stejný jako švýcarský fenomén Roger Federer či hokejista Jaromír Jágr. Hilgertová pro změnu prozradí, co […]
Sinner thumps Bublik in quickest Grand Slam win to reach quarters
Jannik Sinner claimed his quickest Grand Slam victory with a brutal destruction of Alexander Bublik in the fourth round of the US Open.The world No 1 dropped his first set of the tournament to Denis Shapovalov in the third round and had looked a little vulnerable, but he needed just an hour and 21 minutes to race to a 6-1 6-1 6-1 win against Bublik. The unpredictable Kazakh is the only man other than Carlos Alcaraz to have beaten Sinner in the last 12 months, doing so on grass in Halle, while he was the only player to make it to the fourth round without dropping serve.In his pre-match interview he said his goal was not to lose his first service game, but he did just that and did not help himself with 13 double faults - including one featuring […]
Man Utd clear out ‘bomb squad’ as Lammens arrives on Deadline Day
Manchester United finally offloaded most of their 'bomb squad' as Antony completed a permanent move to Real Betis, while Rasmus Hojlund and Jadon Sancho joined Napoli and Aston Villa on loan respectively.The club had begun Transfer Deadline Day with Antony, Hojlund, Sancho and Tyrell Malacia exiled from Ruben Amorim's squad - with only the latter remaining at Old Trafford until January at least. Antony's return to Betis ended a summer of speculation over whether he would end up back in LaLiga, having spent the second half of last season at the club and racking up seven goal contributions in 17 games.He joined them for £21.7m, a loss of £64m from when Man Utd paid Ajax £86m for him in 2022.Jadon Sancho, who had been a target for Roma, joined Villa as one of a number of late additions to Unai […]
