The Kansas City Chiefs have lost significant support following their Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, with some believing the era of dominance is over.
But some forget that Kansas City still won 15 regular-season games and claimed the AFC. That is nothing to sneeze at.
Still, many are selling their Chiefs stock in 2025 in favor of the Buffalo Bills or Baltimore Ravens, two teams Patrick Mahomes and Co. have regularly beaten in the playoffs.
But one person who isn't selling is NFL Network's Kyle Brandt, who thinks the Chiefs will come roaring back this season.
"We look at the Chiefs now as all of a sudden their stock is dropped or something because they got slapped around in the Super Bowl," Brandt said. "That was an all-time Eagles team, and I don't take anything away from the Chiefs."
"I look at the Chiefs last year, I think it was the weakest team of the Mahomes era and the most vulnerable team, and they won 15 games and had a bye. That we've seen it was like that was the year to get them, that was the year to take them out. Next year, I think they'll be better than they were this year."
With what is hoped to be a better offensive line, a healthy Rashee Rice, having Marquise Brown for a full season, not to mention the continued improvement from Xavier Worthy and Travis Kelce, who is coming off a down season, the Chiefs have ample room for improvement.
Yes, the shine has come off their aura somewhat, but let's not forget that just one game of football ago, this team was seen as potentially one of the greatest of all time.
The analysts' debate aside ... That doesn't go away after one loss, does it?
Kansas City will have to do something it hasn't had to do too often under Mahomes, and that's prove people wrong.
For so long the NFL's dominant force, one poor loss has seemingly taken away all of the credits Kansas City had built up over the past three seasons.
Let the redemption story begin.
