The Kansas City Chiefs: This Year's Not-So-Undefeatable Dragon
Remember the Kansas City Chiefs? The reigning Super Bowl champs with Patrick Mahomes slinging laser beams for touchdowns? Well, buckle up, because apparently even dragons have an off year. This season, the Chiefs' path to glory wasn't exactly a yellow brick road paved with victories. In fact, it was more like a scenic detour through Upset City.

What Two Teams Beat The Kansas City Chiefs This Year |
So, Who Stole the Chiefs' Lunch Money?
A whole bunch of teams, that's who! Here's a rundown of some of the more surprising contenders:
-
The AFC West: Apparently, misery loves company, because the Denver Broncos (twice!) decided to join the party. Did someone forget to tell Denver orange looks better on traffic cones? The Las Vegas Raiders (also twice!) also got in on the action, proving the AFC West is a rivalry for the ages (and a therapist's dream client).
-
The Wild Card Weekend Shuffle: This is where things get interesting. A whole host of teams managed to snag a win against the Chiefs, including:
- The Minnesota Vikings: Because apparently, the only thing colder than Minnesota in winter is Patrick Mahomes on a bad day.
- The Jacksonville Jaguars: Hey, even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes, and apparently, Trevor Lawrence is allergic to peanuts.
-
The "We Want Our Ring" Bowl: Let's not forget the playoff contenders with scores to settle. The Cincinnati Bengals (remember the Burrow-Mahomes showdowns?), the Los Angeles Chargers (Justin Herbert: Mahomes' not-so-secret nemesis?), and even the Miami Dolphins (channeling Dan Marino's ghost, anyone?) all got their revenge.
So, What Does This Mean for the Chiefs?
Well, for one thing, it means the rest of the NFL can sleep a little easier at night. But more importantly, it shows that even the most dominant teams have chinks in their armor. Here's hoping the Chiefs learned a valuable lesson (and maybe invested in some better defense) for next season.
