2025 Summary (W-L Record: 6-11)
Everything seemed off right from the get-go last season for the Chiefs. They started 0-2 and just couldn’t seem to win those close games we’ve seen them pull out year after year. For reference, they went 12-0 the year before in one-possession games. Last season, they went 1-9.
Mahomes’ Week 15 season-ending injury was the capper, and the NFL experienced a postseason without him for the first time since he became the Chiefs’ starter in 2018.
Last season ended one of the most impressive runs we’ve seen in NFL history. From 2018-24, the Chiefs reached 7 straight AFC Championship Games, winning 5 of them.
They made it to 5 Super Bowls in a 6-season stretch, winning 3 of them, and they came closer to a three-peat than any team in the Super Bowl era.
But all of those long postseason runs seemed to finally catch up with the Chiefs in 2025. It’s easy to say this now that we have access to the results, but in retrospect, they just seemed like a tired team that had expended all of their energy to go on a dynastic run.
And there was nothing left in the tank.
I don’t think last season spells the end of the Chiefs by any means. I think this was, instead, more of an organizational reset. I have every expectation that they’ll be back and competitive this season and beyond.

Biggest Questions Entering 2026
What will we see from Patrick Mahomes this year?
This is really the only question that matters isn’t it? What is Patrick Mahomes going to look like coming off of a torn ACL and LCL last December? I don’t know. You don’t know. But the Chiefs’ season hinges on it.
