“All good things come to an end.” As generic as this saying might feel, it is true, and the Chiefs realized that today. For the past two seasons, the Chiefs’ juggernaut had been unstoppable. Love them or hate them, one can’t deny the knack Mahomes and his team had developed for performing in big games, making epic comebacks, and continuing to win. Well, it brings up the question, after achieving all this, how will such a loss affect the Chiefs?
Surely a team featuring players like Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce will definitely not give up easily and is sure to bounce back next season. This loss, however, may have an impact on them that many wouldn’t have considered. The franchise has been working hard to garner support to raise funds for the renovation of Arrowhead Stadium for some time now. The voters rejected even last offseason, a proposal that could have potentially generated nearly $2 billion for the renovation.
The question though is, would winning the three-peat have convinced the voters? Well, we can’t be sure about that, but the team becoming the first ever in NFL history to achieve something like this, well, it certainly could have influenced the decision. The lease for their stadium expires in 2031, and the team will need to take a call soon. It seems like off the field there is much work to do for Hunt and his team before the next season begins.

Talking about the game the Eagles played amazingly well today; the score (40-22) doesn’t reflect how one-sided the game was. It’s only fair to say the Eagles may have eased up slightly at one stage, enabling the Chiefs to make progress. That’s just sport sometimes; some nights everything goes wrong for you while your opponent is unstoppable. The Chiefs had a tough night, and while the loss will sting for a while, they shouldn’t let it bother them too much.
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will be back
The Chiefs continued their form from the previous two seasons as they ended this regular season with 15 wins, marking their first-ever season with such a record. All the victories kept coming, but something was missing, right? It wasn’t the same dominant Chiefs we have come to expect; particularly, Mahomes did not look his best at any point this season.

The star quarterback had one of his toughest games, making it a night he’d rather forget. However, true to their champion spirit, the Chiefs’ QB owned up to his performance and assured fans, “we will be back.” After the game, Mahomes took to X to express his thoughts, stating, “Appreciate all the love and support from #ChiefsKingdom. I let y’all down today. I’ll always continue to work and try and learn and be better for it. Want to give thanks to God for every opportunity he has given me. We Will be back.”
