Allen Park — The Kansas City Chiefs aren't simply the defending Super Bowl champions. The franchise has been the model of consistency the past decade under coach Andy Reid, winning at least 10 games nine times during that stretch.
Early in Reid's tenure, much of Kansas City's success could be tied to a star-studded defense. But in recent years, they've been the league's gold-standard offense. Since quarterback Patrick Mahomes became the starter in 2018, the Chiefs have never averaged fewer than 28.2 points per season.
That's what the Detroit Lions will have to contend with in the season opener next Thursday night.
