Talks of Patrick Mahomes being on the same level as “The GOAT” immediately started cropping up following the Kansas City Chiefs 38-35 comeback win against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII. The accolades are undoubtedly warranted, but it might be a bit too premature to crown him just yet. Either way, nobody can argue with the team’s dominance with No. 15 calling the QB1 shots since taking over the reins back in 2018. How about five straight 12-win seasons, five division titles, and five AFC Championship Game appearances as well as two MVPs to go along with two Super Bowl rings and being named the MVP of both big game triumphs? That’s a resume most NFL quarterbacks would die for over the course of an NFL career. Mahomes has tallied those milestones through his first five seasons in the league! Naturally, it comes with little surprise to see Andy Reid’s squad installed the odds-on favorite at the online sportsbook to take home back-to-back Lombardi Trophies come next season.

Kansas City Chiefs 2022 Season Recap

With Tyreek Hill shuttled off to Miami this past offseason, many an NFL bettor was bearish on the 2022-23 Kansas City Chiefs. Their win total hit the board at 10.5 with heavy juice on the over regardless of attaining at least 12 wins the previous four seasons. I immediately slammed that over and laughed all the way back to the window to cash that ticket in months later. Many also believed KC would be challenged by what looked to be a much improved AFC West regardless of winning the division the previous six seasons. With Denver falling flat and Los Angeles dealing with the injury bug all season, the Chiefs cruised to yet another title. The team hit the board at +170 but was the -500 chalk to win a seventh straight as early as Week 8. Until someone else rises up, 100 percent of the bragging rights belong to the Chiefs!

Then there were the Super Bowl odds which found the Buffalo Bills the chic pick to take home the Lombardi. KC’s odds to win LVII initially hit the board at +750 and fattened up to 10-1 before their Week 1 kick-off in Arizona. They fell as low as +450 prior to Week 11’s road tilt with the Chargers and to +325 entering the playoffs even though it procured the AFC’s top seed due to the unfortunate event that occurred in the Week 17 tilt in Buffalo between the Bills and Bengals. Linemakers initially lined the Super Bowl against the Eagles a pick ‘em, but the betting market ultimately turned Philly into the short favorite. Though it took a highly questionable holding call late in the fourth quarter to allow Kansas City to win its third all-time Super Bowl, the Chiefs deserved all the accolades after battling back from seven, 10, and six point deficits over the course of the game.

Mahomes ultimately put forth a dud for his Super Bowl pass attempt, completion and yardage prop supporters by completing 21 of just 27 passes for a measly 182 yards. Still, he went on to throw for a trio of touchdowns and accrued his longest run of the season (26 yards) working on that gimpy ankle. In all, No. 15 threw for nearly 6,000 yards, 48 touchdowns and 12 interceptions without a single errant pass being thrown in the postseason. His connection with Travis Kelce remains elite with the duo hooking up 137 times for nearly 1,600 yards and 16 touchdowns through Super Bowl LVII. As great the passing attack is with these two taking the field every passing Sunday, Isiah Pacheco only makes it that much more intimidating with the rookie cementing himself as the RB1 by accumulating north of 1,200 scrimmage yards and 6 TD through only 14 starts. This offense remains the scariest in the league with No. 15 running the show!

2023 Offseason

What does the franchise really have to fix entering 2023-24 knowing full well it’s represented the AFC in the Super Bowl three of the last four seasons and owns a pair of titles to show for its work? The offensive line is nothing short of elite as evidenced by allowing Haason Reddick and the Eagles vaunted pass rush no sacks over the course of Super Bowl LVII. Skyy Moore and Kadarius Toney are playmakers likely to take on bigger roles next season. There are no question marks on the offensive side of the ball! Steve Spagnuolo also gets the best out of the defense regardless of the talent he has at his disposal. My guess is upper management will go with the best player available once the Chiefs turn comes to pick at the tail end of the first round. Whoever’s selected will be granted placement onto the roster of the NFL’s current dynasty.

Kansas City Chiefs Past Seasons (2000)

The Kansas City Chiefs were founded in 1960 as the Dallas Texans and charter members of the American Football League. Owner Lamar Hunt was also the founder of the AFL. Shortly after Hunt formed the AFL and his franchise, the NFL counter-attacked with a declaration of war. The Dallas Cowboys were created to fight the Texans in the Dallas and Fort Worth area. Following their 1962 AFL championship, the Texans were wooed to Kansas City, where they became profitable.

The Kansas City Chiefs were one of the greatest teams in NFL history from 1966 through 1971. The Chiefs played in the first Super Bowl, losing to the Green Bay Packers. Kansas City then beat the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl IV. The AFL and NFL merged after that game.

Those Chiefs teams were loaded with Hall of Famers such as coach Hank Stram, quarterback Len Dawson, kicker Jan Stenerud, linebackers Willie Lanier and Bobby Bell, defensive backs Johnny Robinson, and Emmitt Thomas, and defensive linemen Buck Buchanan and Curley Culp.

The Chiefs went into a dark period from 1974 through 1988 before new team president Carl Peterson and coach Marty Schottenheimer made them into perennial contenders in the 1990s.

But it was not until Andy Reid arrived as head coach that the Chiefs returned to the Super Bowl and won it 50 years after their first title. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes surpassed Len Dawson as the best in franchise history.

The Chiefs are a proud legacy franchise. In fact, the AFC championship trophy is named after their late great Hall of Fame founder Lamar Hunt.
