The Patrick Mahomes-led Kansas City Chiefs had a tremendous campaign in the NFL last year. The Super Bowl LIV champions were determined to return to the Super Bowl after yet another strong season under coach Andy Reid.

The Chiefs won the AFC West crown by a 14-2 record, with Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, and Travis Kelce in red-hot form. But they suffered a humbling 9-31 loss to Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
