Kansas City, Missouri -Kansas City Chiefs, went to Super Bowl 59, and had to sweat during the crunch of AFC title games in order to make the opportunity to create a special kind of history. Through the season like that.
It is the unmistakable MO of these chiefs. When it’s most important, clutch, blessed, good luck, day -looking, calm, recovery.
“I am proud of the team to win the game in the way we have acquired them in the season,” said Patrick Mahomes. Super bowl. “We are not the ultimate goal yet. It will be a big challenge for Philadelphia.”
When Chiefs last faced Philadelphia Grus at this place, Mahomes caused the NFL’s highest scoring team. They earned 496 points in 2022, an average of 29.2 for each game. They cracked 30 points in nine contests, including the post -season. Indeed, the 38-35 victory in Super Bowl 57 has gained more points than any championship victory.
It was 2022.

This time, Chiefs did not earn more than 30 points in the game until the 32-29 decisions at the Arrow Head Stadium were 32-29. During the regular season, they were ranked 15th in the league with average 22.6 points per game, but they gave up the fourth point of NFL, and they still claim the first seed in AFC playoffs. did.
However, although it is more apparent than any statistics of points, the chief has 17 consecutive victories in one owner, including this season 12. This team knows how to bring out something close.
“We did it over and over again. It’s a habit,” said Mahomes. “Obviously, we want to win more, but I think the regular season won all these close games and prepared for the moment like today.”
When the chief became the first three -piece super bowl champion, they could not be able to endure the gauntlet. Kansas City is 17-2 due to official measures, but if you know how to win at the moment with What-IF, you can tap it out 12-7. And how do you lose? In other words, Andy Reid and Co. navigated a dramatic obstacle course whale.
On Sunday night, Chiefs needed a fourth stop in the last two minutes. This is a drop of a drop of nearby, giving them more miserable to those poor buffalo.
In the 14th week, we scored a “dunk” field goal from the emergency kicker Matthew Light and edged the chargers. In the 10th week, Leo Chenal stopped Bronkos’s upset with the blocked field goals over time. In the ninth week, BUCS played for a tie at the end of the regulation … After that, KC got overtime coin tos and drove to TD immediately. In the second week, Harrison Bucker was set by a 29 -yard path interference penalty to break Bengal. In the first week, he won when the replay showed Raven’s tight end. Isaiah is a chalk line behind the end zone, and has disabled the td catch of the game timetin that I had seen when the clock became zero.
In other words, it was a kind of nervous way.
“I think the men are prosperous,” said Andy Reed.
He remembered a conversation on the side line before the dramatic finish against Bronkos. Cenal told Dave Tub, a special team coordinator, that he would block a kick.
Let’s go to “TOUB GOES”! Let’s go! We can get there, “said the lead.
“He’s going,” No, it’s over. “
“It’s an attitude that these people have. It’s not just him,” said Red. “It’s all these people, so when the opportunity was given, they stepped up in such a situation. As a coach, you love that part, and that’s a rare one. I know that of these games (Sunday). It does not shrink in a situation.
The backbone reflects a larger picture. Last season’s unit has certainly demonstrated the grit by winning the Mahome era’s first road -play -off game, Buffalo and Baltimore, to advance to the Super Bowl. However, this unit faces different adversity caused by important injury.
Hollywood Brown, a fast veteran who won the target of a fast veteran signed last spring, was injured during the pre -season and overlooked him until late December. After chasing ISIAH PACHECO, I suffered from the broken Fi bone in the second week and returned in late November. Last year, Rashee Rice, the second year of Rashee Rice and Mecole Hardman, the hero of the Super Bowl, ended with a knee injury at the end of the season.
With retreat, GM Brett VEACH was forced to actively fill the blanks. Kalemhunt, who started his first Chief of Chief as an NFL Rush Champion, and ended it with an attack on women, was signed for a second chance. Former All Pro Sever’s DEANDRE HOPKINS and line backer Josh Uche have been acquired in transactions. The left tackle DJ HUMPHRIES, which is threatened by the career, was a free agent signature in the season to strengthen the O -line struggling in the tackle post.
As a whole, about 20 players on the Chiefs Super Bowl List did not participate in the team last season, as a typical transaction was added to the typical transaction.
“Every season is your own season,” Mahomes said. “All teams are different. You get a new person. You have a different role.”
It’s no wonder that Jones, a defensive tackle pillar, laughed when they asked if their repeated Super Bowl trips became an old hat.
“No, I don’t feel like an old hat, it’s everyday,” Jones said. “I wish it was so easy.
“The challenge is that Brett Vettes need to bring new people every year, and when they succeed, many coaches and many players go to other teams. It’s like a start over.
As a result, Mahome is not considered a package trading, acknowledging the importance of potential three -pete results. Superstar’s quarterback says, “You treat it as a run of one super bowl in one season. This is always difficult.”
Nevertheless, Chiefs, who won the crown last year against last year’s 49ERS, seems to be able to foresee that he has come this season, but sometimes use the hearts and calmness of the championship. You can do it. Maybe it’s inherited.
And for all complaints in some circles about the favor that the chiefs can be obtained from the closer call of the host, the larger swing factor usually commits self -harm during the crunch time. It comes with the identity of a disciplined team that does not defeat yourself.
Why do the chiefs continue to win the close?
“It’s everyone,” said Mahomes.
It is very similar to the perfect ceremony.
