The Kansas City Chiefs are no strangers to greatness, coming off their best regular season ever with a 15-2 record, joining an elite group of just nine NFL teams to hit 15 or more wins. They made history as the first back-to-back Super Bowl champions to return to the big game, having played in five of the last six Super Bowls and reached the AFC Championship in each of the past seven seasons. Yet, even with those accolades, last season exposed cracks. Injuries plagued the offense, and Patrick Mahomes endured his worst statistical year, compounded by an offensive line that allowed a career-high six sacks in the Super Bowl against the Eagles.
The defense, however, has been the backbone of this dynasty, carrying the team through its recent triumphs. With strategic offseason moves, the Chiefs aim to restore Mahomes to his MVP form-think 4,500+ yards and 35+ touchdowns-while setting the stage for Travis Kelce, at 35 and showing signs of age, to chase one more ring before retirement.
Chiefs’ Offseason Moves Make Them Better
Despite salary cap constraints forcing the Chiefs to part ways with key veterans, they made savvy additions through the draft to bolster their offense. Rookie tackle Josh Simmons has turned heads in training camp with his aggressive, punishing style, stepping into the critical role of protecting Mahomes’ blindside. His early dominance suggests he’s ready for the challenge.
Meanwhile, fourth-round pick Jalen Royals, likened by Andy Reid to Rashee Rice for his work ethic and strength, is quickly grasping the playbook. With Rice facing a potential suspension of 4 to 10 games, Royals could see significant snaps early. Veterans like Hollywood Brown, Xavier Worthy‘s blazing speed, and reliable options like JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton provide depth, ensuring Kelce remains a focal point of the passing game.
On the flip side, the Chiefs traded four-time Super Bowl champ Joe Thuney to the Bears for a fourth-round pick and let safety Justin Reid walk in free agency. Still, the roster looks stronger than the one that reached last year’s Super Bowl, poised to keep the dynasty rolling.
Mahomes’ Rebound and Chiefs’ Shot at History
Entering his eighth season as the starter, Patrick Mahomes is coming off a noticeable dip, with career lows of 26 touchdown passes, 6.8 yards per attempt, and 245.5 passing yards per game last year. The past two seasons saw him throw just 26 and 27 touchdowns, a far cry from his previous low of 37 in a 16-game season, and he dipped below 4,000 passing yards for the first time.
Injuries to receivers, a porous offensive line, and a dip in Travis Kelce’s output didn’t help. But with a revamped line and healthier playmakers, Mahomes could rediscover his elite form-potentially hitting 5,000 yards and 35+ touchdowns and being consider for the MVP again.
The Chiefs are eyeing historic milestones: they could join the 1990-1993 Buffalo Bills as the second team to reach four straight Super Bowls, despite the Bills’ losses, or challenge the Tom Brady-led Patriots’ eight-year AFC title streak from 2011-2018. At minimum, a tenth consecutive AFC West crown seems within reach, matching the Patriots’ 11-year record, provided Mahomes recaptures his magic.
