Terry Bradshaw had choice words for those who believe the Kansas City Chiefs' dynasty is over.
The 2025 NFL season saw Andy Reid and the Chiefs stumble to a 6-11 record, with Patrick Mahomes suffering a season-ending ACL injury. With Kansas City struggling, a vacuum was created, with the Seattle Seahawks taking the Chiefs' place as the Super Bowl champions.

“In the NFL, as a broadcaster, I get tired of the same old, ‘Baltimore, Buffalo, Denver and the Rams and 49ers,’ I thought the Seattle story was a really good story,” he began, according to Awful Announcing. “It was good to see defense come back and dominate…and Sam Darnold just never got any respect, he’s Rodney Dangerfield…I was happy for him.”
And while he was happy to see Darnold's success with the Seahawks after how his career began, Bradshaw believed he was not about to count out Reid and the Chiefs, despite their down year. Bradshaw even had choice words for his colleagues in the media who continually counted out Mahomes' ability.
“I was reading this morning about Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs and ‘has he lost it.’ And I’m like, are you kidding me?" he continued. "He went to five Super Bowls in six years and they’re going, ‘Has he lost it?’ Lost what?

"I’ll tell you what he lost; he lost a lot of players to injuries. Critics are just idiots. Idiots, man. They have no idea what they’re talking about.”
The Chiefs had a plethora of injuries that they could not overcome this season, aside from Mahomes' season-ending ACL tear against the Los Angeles Chargers. Josh Simmons and Jawaan Taylor both missed time with their backups, Jaylon Moore and Wanya Morris, also missing time due to their own injury issues.
Kansas City, with Matt Nagy calling the plays, had a sub-standard offense, at least from where they usually are every season. With the offense struggling, Reid explained that the team was still one of the more effective in the league, despite how it might have looked.

Nagy, who has since moved on to join John Harbaugh in New York with the Giants, explained that perhaps the 2025 season was just a year the team had to endure after making the playoffs for 10 consecutive seasons.

“It didn’t happen this year for the Chiefs, for the city, for the organization, but sometimes, everything in life happens for a reason,” Nagy said, according to The Athletic.
“When we’re in the storm right now, you can’t accept it, and you don’t like it. But a year or two, three years down the road, you’re like, ‘Maybe that really did happen [for a reason].'”
As for Reid, he had a simple message, per the outlet: “We look forward to getting going here in this offseason and getting ourselves right.”
