For most of the past six years, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs have been known for their dominance in the NFL. However, this season has been a bit different for the team, as they faced some challenges and even found themselves labeled as underdogs in several games. Despite the changed perception, Mahomes and the Chiefs have embraced their new role and have thrived in the playoffs, proving that they should never be underestimated.
During the regular season, the Chiefs struggled on offense and experienced a rough patch where they lost five out of eight games. This sudden dip in form led to a shift in expectations, with the Chiefs no longer being the clear favorites week after week. They became accustomed to receiving points on the betting lines, rather than being the ones giving them up. This change ignited a fire within Mahomes and his teammates, as they had to prove themselves all over again.
