The Kansas City Chiefs followed up their Super Bowl victory in February with a win in the “Best Team” category at the 2023 ESPYs. After overcoming adversity over the course of their 2022 campaign, the Chiefs rose to the top of the NFL pantheon by besting the Philadelphia Eagles on the biggest stage in all of sports.
Among those present to accept the award on the team’s behalf were defensive lineman Chris Jones, running back Isiah Pacheco, tight end Travis Kelce, and quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Kelce had presented the “Best Comeback Athlete” award earlier in the night, and Mahomes received the coveted “Best NFL Player” honor shortly after his teammate’s moment at center stage.
The title of “Best Team” is sure to stick with the Chiefs through training camp and the preseason as they look to prepare for the rigors that the coming football season holds for them. If they can duplicate last year’s results over the course of their grueling 17-game schedule in 2023, Kansas City has a legitimate chance to win this same accolade next year.
