The Patrick Mahomes era took off like a rocket. Nobody expected his development to go so quickly. With Mahomes taking the NFL by storm, many fans and pundits alike now consider the Kansas City Chiefs to be legitimate Super Bowl contenders this year.
There’s no denying the Chiefs offense is at a Super Bowl level. What troubles me though is how this offense is generating so much excitement that people are starting to believe the Chiefs defense doesn’t matter much when it comes to championships. If the Chiefs do end up in the Super Bowl this year, it would be unprecedented considering no team ranked 32nd in total defense has ever reached a Super Bowl before.
