Are the Chiefs Heading Toward an Unthinkable Fall from Super Bowl Glory?
Yes, the Kansas City Chiefs are on the cusp of history, sitting just one win shy of becoming the first three-peat Super Bowl champion in NFL history.
But there’s been something different about this version of the Chiefs. They’ve relied more on their defense and run game, and less on Patrick Mahomes.
During the regular season, Kansas City ranked third in defensive EVE (our efficiency versus expected model) against the run and 11th in defensive EVE overall, and the team’s 26.5 rushing attempts per game were its most since 2015. At the same time, Mahomes finished the regular season with a career-low 3,928 yards.
