We have (basically) made it to football season.
In the 2024 offseason the Kansas City Chiefs still managed to make it as far as they did, which is surprising. Their offseason was rife with drama, especially Rashee Rice, who had a highly publicized off-the-field incident, which was just one of several for Kansas City. Then, when the season started, Rice, who appeared to be a major contributor on offense for the Chiefs, was lost with a season-ending knee injury after colliding with Patrick Mahomes in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Though their defense under Steve Spagnuolo was terrific, their offense was lackluster.
Patrick Mahomes had his fewest passing yards as a starter for Kansas City, and the explosive aspect was missing from their passing game. Yet, somehow, Kansas City would pull out close, but controversial victories during the regular season, like their games versus the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals. Their luck ran out in the Super Bowl, where they were beaten by the Philadelphia Eagles 40-22.
