The Kansas City Chiefs are no longer the offense that puts up points for fun with Patrick Mahomes throwing for 300+ yards and multiple touchdowns per game, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t entertaining.
Yes, how the offense has performed in the past couple of seasons may seem dull, but they have won back-to-back Super Bowls and been to a third in three years.
But as we enter the 2025 season, some are a little turned off by the Chiefs playing to their defense, and Mahomes and Andy Reid doing “just” enough to get by.
However, for USA Today’s Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz, in ranking all 32 offenses by entertainment value, he has the Chiefs high, at No. 5.
“Regardless of how often he is able to pull off the otherworldly plays he became synonymous with, Patrick Mahomes remains on a singular plane in the NFL when it comes to tilting games in his favor,” Middlehurst-Schwartz writes.
“Travis Kelce, meanwhile, shouldn’t be expected to merely fade away in the twilight of his career despite last year’s relatively modest statistical output. More importantly, the return of Rashee Rice and Marquise “Hollywood” Brown unquestionably will alter the complexion of the offense for the better, even if protection questions remain after a reshuffling of the left side of the offensive line.”
Any team that has Mahomes on it will always be must-watch TV, given his ability to always make “the” play in the biggest moments, coupled with his uncanny knack for producing “what the hell did he just do” moments rather regularly.
Many think the Chiefs in 2025 will be one of the teams to fall off the proverbial cliff, given the dynasty has lasted so long. But make no mistake, as KC fans debate these rankings … the Chiefs will still have a lot of eyeballs on their games, with Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Rashee Rice, and Xavier Worthy as the big quartet.
The Chiefs might not be the swashbuckling offense we used to see, but they aren’t any less entertaining.
