What an exciting finish to the 2023 NFL Season; capped off by a thrilling overtime finish in Super Bowl LVIII. You thought it was going to be a close game? If you took the points, I’m sure you may have won some money. If you bet high and lose, shame on you for not being a responsible gambler. There’s plenty to break down from this “khaotik” game. Let’s roll the dice shall we.
For the first time since 2003-04, Kansas City repeats as back to back champions since the New England Patriots. This resilience of Kansas City in 2023 was their toughest Super Bowl run. A new dynasty is here to remind everyone not to bet against Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. From opening night to winning their 3rd title in 5 seasons is a testament to the Chiefs grit.
Early season woes were the story in figuring out this offense with play calling. “Adversity” was a word being floated around near the end as to say: “Can the Chiefs win (2) road playoff games and get to Las Vegas?” Mission accomplished and now they sit as back to back champions. Credit to this defense as they carried the team; in similar fashion to the New England Patriots of their first three titles. When you have a team whose very well coached and quarterback who some have dubbed “Tom Brady 2.0” teams have better prepare to fight until the end.
What the Kansas City Chiefs are doing is how New England dominated the early 2000s. Strong defenses and great offensive play calling to win championships. At this stage of Mahomes’ young career, it’s very Tom Brady-esque postseason wins. What we’re witnessing is another generational quarterback who’ll be very difficult to defeat. Just like Tom, expect this guy to play until he decides to walk away.
With all the buzz surrounding Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, they shared an emotional moment as the confetti fell. Oh, “she’s a distraction to the Chiefs” and increasing the NFL revenue became public interest. Nothing phased this team by the slightest and didn’t feel pressured getting back to the Super Bowl. Andy Reid has embraced the “Swifties” and welcomed them with open arms. He’ll go down as the greatest offensive play caller of all-time.” You can’t refute Andy’s success in the NFL nor question it. A three time Super Bowl winning coach with a generational talent in Patrick Mahomes. If he retired today, no question he’s a first ballot Hall of Famer. As long as Mahomes is your quarterback, he can coach long as he wants. I’m sure he’ll take time to recoup and go from there. He may lose a few assistants in 2025 for head coaching jobs but enjoy this dynasty while it’s here.
We as fans may be wondering if our beloved NFL teams will ever reach these heights. It’s a copycat league and you either push the right buttons to succeed or continue to stay window shopping for an opportunity to taste victory champagne. Kansas City Chiefs and Chiefs Kingdom, congratulations on winning Super Bowl LVIII while becoming the first back to back champions since the 2003-04 New England Patriots. See you all on opening night of 2024. Thank you all for taking a khaotik journey this NFL season. The offseason will arrive in March, and we’ll be talking about free agency, draft, and training camp. The greatest sport in America finishes with a high stakes overtime thriller in Kansas City taking their 3rd Lombardi Trophy back home defeating the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in a thrilling overtime Super Bowl victory.
Stai tuned.
