Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City Chiefs could be shock team to miss NFL playoffs, says Jeff Reinebold

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs have played in five of the last six Super Bowls having won nine consecutive division titles as the NFL's modern dynasty team - but is their supremacy on the verge of a dramatic collapse? 

The Chiefs were denied a historic third straight Super Bowl in February when they suffered a 40-22 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans.

Nick Sirianni's champions were faster, smarter, stronger, more explosive on the way to a demolition of the AFC rulers, whose familiar pass protection issues and offensive consistencies were thrust under the spotlight.

As Mahomes ran for his life, questions arose as to whether the Chiefs had reached the end of a cycle after lifting the Lombardi Trophy three times since 2019.
