The two-time defending\u00a0<strong>Super Bowl<\/strong>\u00a0champions are\u00a0<strong>9-0 in 2024<\/strong>\u00a0despite not always looking their best, but the\u00a0<strong>Chiefs<\/strong>\u2018 ability to continue pulling out close wins ultimately boils down to their\u00a0<strong>on-field leadership and unceasing work behind the scenes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Franchise pillars\u00a0<strong>Travis Kelce<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Patrick Mahomes<\/strong>\u00a0haven\u2019t quite found the consistency this season that for years has separated them from other players at their respective positions. But\u00a0<strong>Mahomes\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Kelce<\/strong>\u00a0keep stepping up in the biggest moments, when the lights are brightest \u2014 and to pursue a Super Bowl three-peat, the Chiefs need their record-setting quarterback-tight end combination to drive the van toward the playoffs, and beyond.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Kelce and Mahomes have to keep it up<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>During an appearance on \u201c<strong>The Pat McAfee Show<\/strong>\u201c, Chiefs general manager\u00a0<strong>Brett Veach<\/strong>\u00a0issued a sly challenge to his two superstars while praising their immense contributions to\u00a0<strong>Kansas City<\/strong>\u2018s dynastic success.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Veach<\/strong>, who called Kelce \u201c<strong>the ultimate ambassador<\/strong>\u00a0around the globe\u201d for the NFL, remaked on how the 35-year-old\u2019s relationship with Mahomes, 29, has not changed since Mahomes joined the Chiefs as a first-round draft pick in 2017. The way the two superstars \u2014 both among the NFL\u2019s highest-paid players \u2014 treat their teammates is of particular interest to Veach, and it allows everyone in the building to perform to the best of their abilities.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no better evidence of the good vibes around the Chiefs\u2019 locker room than in the events leading up to Kansas City\u2019s comeback win over the\u00a0<strong>Denver Broncos<\/strong>\u00a0last Sunday. Unheralded linebacker\u00a0Leo Chernal\u00a0blocked what would have been a game-winning kick for the\u00a0<strong>Broncos<\/strong>, a moment which preserved the Chiefs\u2019 wild 16-14 victory.<\/p>\n<p>The challenge gets tougher in Week 11, when\u00a0Mahomes\u00a0and MVP candidate\u00a0<strong>Josh Allen<\/strong>\u00a0square off in\u00a0<strong>Buffalo<\/strong>. This rematch of last year\u2019s divisional round contest between the Chiefs and the\u00a0<strong>Bills<\/strong>\u00a0begins the \u201cstretch run\u201d, when Kansas City will look to confirm its greatness and \u2014 come February \u2014 win its third Super Bowl in a row, thus securing its place in NFL lore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 9-0\u00a0Chiefs\u00a0remain the talk of the\u00a0NFL The\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0boast stars and a recent level of success that are the envy of the\u00a0NFL.
