An NFL three-peat should be impossible. But with Patrick Mahomes there is no such thing

It isn't a stretch, even at this very early stage, to think this could be the best Chiefs team of the Mahomes-Reid era

Sound the alarm: the Chiefs have that look again.

The most stunning thing about Kansas City's Super Bowl win last season was that it came in what should have been a retooling year. Sure, when you have Patrick Mahomes, every season carries championship expectations. But for much of last year, the Chiefs had that not-quite-good-enough feel of the mid-dynasty New England Patriots. Their defense was outstanding, but the offense had taken on too much water: their receivers couldn't catch; the offensive line struggled with injuries; the 34-year-old Travis Kelce showed inevitable signs of decline.
