Breaking News: Patrick Mahomes receives prediction for 2025 that may lead to Travis Kelce’s permanent retirement…see more

Despite a strong 2024 season that saw the Kansas city chiefs clinch their ninth consecutive AFC West title, their campaign ended in disappointment with a 40-22 Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

The defeat not only crushed their hopes for a historic three-peat but also raised concerns about whether the Chiefs’ dominance is beginning to fade. While Patrick Mahomes remains the gold standard among NFL quarterbacks, some analysts are questioning whether Kansas City’s reign at the top is sustainable.

With offensive line struggles and tougher divisional competition, Fox Sports Radio host Colin Cowherd has predicted that 2025 could be the year the Chiefs’ streak comes to an end.

Cowherd raised concerns about Kansas City’s pass protection and how it could impact Mahomes’ ability to perform at his usual elite level. “I think the Chiefs are going to struggle, and I don’t think they are going to win their division,” Cowherd stated.

“I don’t think, in this draft class, there’s a starting left tackle good enough, in their division, to block Maxx Crosby or Khalil Mack…

“The three or four teams I like in the league all have great O-lines, all of them… They are not going 10-1 in close games next year.”

Kansas City’s offensive line issues were evident throughout 2024, with Mahomes facing more pressure than in previous years.
