Kansas City Chiefs have emerged as formidable Super Bowl title holders since securing a playoff berth two seasons ago and two Super Bowl victories later, thanks to veteran Head Coach Andy Reid’s guidance and Patrick Mahomes’ exceptional play as quarterback – even NFL legend Tom Brady has recognized this strength within their lineup!
Brady recently spoke with Kevin Burkhardt on NFL on FOX about Patrick Mahomes and expressed his belief in his abilities, particularly for one-score games: if it comes down to it I’d pick Patrick every time; his championship pedigree stands him apart.” Such feedback only adds more enthusiasm among Chiefs fans about their team’s prospects in 2019.
The battle for playoff positions in the AFC is heating up with only two spots remaining. Teams such as the Bills, Steelers, Texans, and Ravens have clinified their postseason berths alongside the Chiefs. Although the Chiefs were bested by Josh Allen’s Bills in week 11, Mahomes’ playoff persona—markedly different in terms of performance—is something opponents fear. His postseason statistics are a testament to his impactful play, boasting a 15-3 win-loss record across 18 games with a completion rate of 67.9%, resulting in 41 touchdowns against just 8 interceptions.
This season, the Chiefs have been outstanding, leading their conference with an unblemished 14-1 record and comfortably ahead of nearest competitor Bills (11-3). Yet despite this success and recent hurdles (Mahomes’ recent ankle injury being one such challenge) remaining challenges exist – especially following Mahomes playing against Texans during week 16. However, Mahomes returned for victory, showing his resilience even during challenging situations.
As the playoffs approach, anticipation among Chiefs fans as well as football fans and teams across the league builds rapidly. All are eagerly watching how this year plays out!
