Apparently, it is easy to forget that just one game of football ago, the Kansas City Chiefs were being talked about as possibly one of the greatest teams ever in football, as they were chasing a third straight Super Bowl win.

But the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles has seen many fans and media alike jump off the Chiefs bandwagon ahead of the 2025 season.

Some have a regression from the 15-2 record, which is low-hanging fruit because achieving that in back-to-back years is a tough feat. The offensive line issues, coupled with the narrative that Patrick Mahomes has “peaked,” all contribute to the belief that the Chiefs are done.

And now we have Fox Sports’ Jason McIntyre, who went listing teams who can win the Super Bowl on The Herd, he only came up with six, and two from the AFC, in the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens.

But the Chiefs weren’t mentioned.

Having won the AFC for three straight seasons, won two Super Bowls, and been to a third in that time frame, we think the defending conference champs deserve at the very least to be mentioned.

The Chiefs didn’t need more motivation ahead of the new year, but they just got more.
