It’s safe to say that winning three Super Bowl championships with four Super Bowl appearances in five seasons and making six straight AFC Championship Game appearances qualifies the Kansas City Chiefs (11-6 in 2023) as a dynasty.
Having lost four of six games from Week 11 to Week 16, many doubted whether the Chiefs were the same feared team they once were. But once they got into the playoffs, they ran through the gauntlet, knocking off the Miami Dolphins (11-6), Buffalo Bills (11-6), Baltimore Ravens (13-4) and San Francisco 49ers (12-5) en route to back-to-back Super Bowl titles.
Now, the Chiefs have an offseason to reload in pursuit of the NFL’s first Super Bowl three-peat. They took the first step toward that goal in franchise-tagging cornerback L’jarius Sneed, keeping arguably their best defensive back in the fold for at least one more season. Star defensive tackle Chris Jones also needs a new contract, as do a few other of the team’s defensive stalwarts, who helped anchor the No. 2 defense in the league.
