2025 Kansas City Chiefs season

American football team season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2025 season was the Kansas City Chiefs' 56th in the National Football League (NFL), their 66th overall, their ninth under the leadership of general manager Brett Veach and their 13th under head coach Andy Reid. The Chiefs entered the season as the three-time defending AFC champions, hoping to reach their fourth consecutive Super Bowl and rebound from their Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Although they entered the season as one of the Super Bowl favorites, they stumbled to an 0–2 start before recovering to a 5–3 record. However, they collapsed in the second half of the season, going just 1–8 in their final nine games, including a six-game losing streak to end the season.

Kansas City failed to win the AFC West for the first time since 2015 following a home loss to the Houston Texans in Week 14. The Chiefs were eliminated from playoff contention for the first time since 2014 after a home loss to the division rival Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15. Marred by close losses and struggles in road games, the Chiefs suffered their first losing season since 2012.

The Chiefs struggled with injuries throughout the season, most notably when star quarterback and franchise icon Patrick Mahomes suffered a season-ending ACL tear late in the team's Week 15 game against the Chargers, which eliminated them from playoff contention. Backup quarterback Gardner Minshew then suffered a knee injury the following week, forcing the Chiefs to start third-string quarterback Chris Oladokun in the final two games of the season. After setting an NFL record with 12 one-possession victories the previous season, the Chiefs went just 1–9 in one-possession games. Additionally, they finished 1–7 in road games.

The Chiefs' Thanksgiving game against the Dallas Cowboys had a regular season record of 57.2 million viewers. The game was broadcast on CBS and streaming service Paramount+, and peaked with 61.4 million viewers by the game's conclusion.[1]

Coincidentally; the Chiefs would later be joined by the Florida Panthers of the NHL in how they both reached three consecutive championships from 2023 to 2025 in their leagues to missing the playoffs outright, marking a rare occurrence of an event across North American sports.

Early in the game, receiver Xavier Worthy was knocked out of the game with an injury after an collision with Travis Kelce, which contributed to a sluggish first half that was capped off by a two minute drill to kick a field goal at the end of the half. Despite a strong second half performance, the Chargers were able to run the clock out on their final possession following a run from Justin Herbert. With the loss, the Chiefs lost their season opener for the second time in three seasons and lost to the Chargers for the first time since 2021, and the first road loss to the Chargers since 2013.[18]

The game remained close throughout, until a game-deciding play occurred early in the fourth quarter. With the Chiefs in the Eagles' red zone, Patrick Mahomes threw a pass intended for Travis Kelce, but the ball bounced off Kelce’s hands and was intercepted by Eagles safety Andrew Mukuba. The turnover eventually led to a touchdown that put the game away for the Eagles.[19]

With their 3rd loss to Philadelphia since 2023, the Chiefs started 0–2 for the first time since the 2014 season.[20] Including their defeat in Super Bowl LIX, it also marked the first time Mahomes has lost three consecutive starts.[21] Additionally, this was the Chiefs' first home loss since 2023 Christmas Day, ending a 12-game home winning streak.[22][23]

With the win, the Chiefs improved to 3–3, and their record improved to .500. Patrick Mahomes recorded his 302nd career touchdown pass, including the postseason, becoming the fastest player in NFL history to reach 300 touchdown passes. He accomplished the feat in just 139 games, eight fewer than the previous record holder, Aaron Rodgers.[27]

At the end of the game, Mahomes attempted to give a high-five to Lions safety Brian Branch as they met near midfield. However, Branch walked past Mahomes without acknowledging him. Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster confronted Branch over that. In response, Branch threw a right hook that knocked Smith-Schuster to the ground, sparking a fight.[28] The NFL later announced that Branch would be suspended one game for his actions.[29]

With two minutes left in the game and the Chiefs driving into Chargers territory with a chance to tie, Patrick Mahomes suffered a non-contact injury to his left knee and was quickly ruled out.

Although the Chiefs were down to their third-string quarterback, Chris Oladokun, and several starters were out, and entered the game as double-digit underdogs, they remained competitive against the Broncos. However, a game-deciding play occurred late in the fourth quarter when the Broncos faced fourth-and-2 inside the 10-yard line and did not intend to snap the ball. Chris Jones jumped offsides, giving Denver a fresh set of downs, which eventually led to a go-ahead touchdown that sealed a Broncos victory.

With the loss, the Chiefs’ nine-game home winning streak against the Broncos came to an end, marking their first home defeat to Denver since the 2015 season. Additionally, the Chiefs were swept by the Broncos for the first time since the 2014 season.[44]
