The Kansas City Chiefs came within a possession of making the Super Bowl this past season. With few expecting the Chiefs to make a difference, they overcame a historically bad defense and a first-year quarterback, to come closer than they’ve been since the early ’70s to play in the big game.
The 2018 Chiefs were questionably the best team in the AFC. Despite a defense ranked among the worst in every statistic other than sacks, quarterback Patrick Mahomes kept the Chiefs alive with a performance barely matched in NFL history.
Now comes the time of year when analysts and experts pick apart the team, the draft picks, and free agents.
