The Kansas City Chiefs won their first Super Bowl on June 19. Now Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, Travis Kelce and the rest of the Chiefs will try to make history and become the first three champions in history. So that won’t happen.Mahomes and the Chiefs are officially a dynasty. With four Super Bowl appearances and three wins in five years, there’s no denying that this team has overtaken Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots as the best franchise in the NFL.
Like the Patriots, the Chiefs can’t seem to quit when the chips are down, and no matter what the problem, there seems to be some dark magic that convinces other teams to make the worst decisions to stop KC. Then Mahomes and Kekle will do whatever it takes to win. It’s a formula worthy of belief that will be repeated next season.
Why not? There are four reasons for this:They probably won’t see Kyle Shanahan again. Kyle Shanahan will try to keep the Niners focused. Kyle Shanahan can be an offensive genius. Not all smart people, including those who work at the Apple Store, are “geniuses”. A true offensive genius. Shanahan takes a step back from his father and creates one of the most exciting and unstoppable offensive schemes in football history.
They are the ones who steal everything and define the game for decades.That said, when the ball is hit, especially when it matters most, Shanahan is a mediocre (or worse) manager. There are many examples of this, most recently after Super Bowl 58 when he revealed to the media that his players knew nothing about the new overtime rules. But watching him play in the Super Bowl tells the story.
Just as Shanahan allowed a 10-point fourth-quarter comeback against the Chiefs in Super Bowl 54, he also allowed a 10-point lead in Super Bowl 58. To make matters worse, he was the offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons. Super Bowl. Bowl 51, his team blew a 28-3 lead against the Patriots in the third quarter. No Super Bowl loser has returned to a major game the following season since the Patriots did so in 2019, and four times before that was the Buffalo Bills in the early 1990s.
The 49ers may not return next season, which it’s bad news for the Chiefs. free agentEvery team that gets paid the next season after a championship wants it, but the winning team can never afford it. NBA legend Pat Riley called it “my disease.”Kansas City is in a tough spot in 2024 because it has several key free agents who can’t be re-signed unless they want the hometown discount. Chris Jones’ star defense is the best. He sat out Week 1 of this season due to a contract dispute, and there’s a good chance he could hit free agency if the Chiefs don’t bring in big money this offseason.
Also available are cornerback L’Jarius Snead, linebacker Drew Tranquil and junior Willie Gay. Running back Donovan Smith, defensive end Mike Danna, running backs Clyde Edwards-Helair and Jerick McKinnon and game-winning wide receiver Mecole Hardman. On Sunday, all free agents will be included on this year’s roster along with 16 other players.The Chiefs will have to choose their offseason priorities carefully and will return in 2024 with a younger and less experienced team than this year, which will weaken their chances of making it to three.
AFC defender Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, 2023 NFL Playoffs, Cincinnati Bearcats, Buffalo BillsTom Brady has won six Super Bowl titles in the AFC, joining Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger and Philip Rivers. Patrick Mahomes’ AFC defensive glove just got stronger. Head coach Andy Reid and Raiders coach Antonio Pierce talk. Chiefs: Andy Reid’s message to Raiders’ Antonio Pierce before Super Bowl 58 winLike Brady, Mahomes has AFC rivals in Josh Allen, Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson.
However, the AFC QB field is dominated by Trevor Lawrence, Justin Herbert and C.J. It’s more crowded than ever in 2024, with players like Stroud on the rise and specialists like Aaron Rodgers, Deshaun Watson and Tua Tagovailoa capable of big things in the right situation.
2023 rookies Anthony Richardson and Will Lewis have also shown potential, and the Patriots, Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos could all take a QB in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The only AFC team not mentioned above is the Pittsburgh Steelers, and with or without a QB, they haven’t lost since 2003.With all due respect to Brady and what he has accomplished, he has never had a glove like Mahomes and I think that will continue to be the case next season. historyUltimately, the Chiefs can’t three-peat.
Because history won’t do that. Yes, records and streaks will be broken. But the NFL is an even league, so no team can win three straight championships. I think it’s good
