There hasn’t been a repeat SB champion in two decades. KC has had stretches in previous seasons where they lacked motivation. It could happen this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The classic super bowl hangover Maybe so but I don't think any of the other teams in that division will threaten KC winning the AFCW unless the Chiefs are hit hard by injuries.

It could happen this season There had never been a team winning the SB at their own stadium until 2020 - then it happened two years in a row. There hadn't been an MVP winning the SB in the same season since Warner - until Mahomes just did it. The Chiefs might well slow down, but it won't be due to an arbitrary loss of motivation or a "Super Bowl hangover." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question was whether KC would win the AFCW not the SB this coming season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure who takes it but I don’t think it is a KC slam dunk again. I personally think this division is wide open to win. It’s the only division in the NFL with 3 QBs reaching the Super Bowl and 2 winning one as a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you don't even see a specific team that's good enough to win. The Chiefs just won't because reasons. OK. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could happen this season I hate the Chiefs. This is wishful thinking personified. They have no legitimate competition, even if they were unmotivated. Denver is too putrid offensively. Vegas is just hilariously bad. LA is just too soft mentally and physically. KC is gonna roll again, as much as I'd love for them to suck nards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because a team had success last year isn’t promised the following year A year ago the Rams was thought to be an elite top 5 team. 2 years ago Bengals was predicted to finished last in their division. Jags predicted to finish 3rd in ‘22 and so on. I get it, the easy thing to look at is KC wins again but I don’t see it that clear. I see every team in this division has an argument to win it legitimately. More than in previous seasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rams didn’t even make the playoffs last season.
