Kansas City Chiefs Team Preview
The Kansas City Chiefs are primed for another deep run in 2025, leveraging their three consecutive AFC championships and a stellar 15-2 record from 2024. Head coach Andy Reid, in his 13th season, and quarterback Patrick Mahomes, with 7-1 odds to win MVP, lead a flashy offense bolstered by strategic additions. With Xavier Worthy in his second season and a much healthier Hollywood Brown, speed will be a huge factor for Kansas City. Running backs Isiah Pacheco and Elijah Mitchell form a versatile, hard-hitting backfield. Rookie left tackle Josh Simmons, a first-round selection, fortifies the offensive line, ensuring Mahomes has the protection he needs. With seven primetime games and favorites in 16 games this season, the Chiefs aim to maintain their status as the NFL's elite franchise.
Defensively, coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has crafted a unit ready to stymie the league's top offenses. Rising star Jaden Hicks, who earned a 75.1 PFF grade across 469 snaps in 2024, pairs with solid cornerback Trent McDuffie to anchor a formidable secondary. The defensive line, strengthened by versatile addition Jerry Tillery, builds on its eighth-ranked run defense from last season, while linebacker Leo Chenal's emergence as a playmaker adds relentless energy. Spagnuolo's knack for maximizing young talent ensures the Chiefs are equipped to dominate key tough matchups they'll face, such as Week 2 against the Eagles and Week 4 against the Ravens
The Chiefs' 2025 schedule includes challenging games that test their roster, but the team is built to handle the NFL's top competition. Key games include the season opener against the Chargers in São Paulo, Brazil, on September 5, home matchups against the Ravens and Eagles, a road game against the Bills, and a Christmas Day game against the Broncos adds another challenge. With a combination of young talent and veteran players, Kansas City is favored to secure a 10th straight AFC West title and pursue a fourth Super Bowl in seven years.
