The Kansas City Chiefs and head coach Andy Reid begin 2024 with the opportunity to contend for their third consecutive Super Bowl title and fourth in five seasons. Reid is looking for his third Super Bowl title in a row, continuing the franchise’s nearly unstoppable run since Patrick Mahomes took over as starting quarterback. Reid is only the fourth coach to make five Super Bowl appearances; a third title would place Reid alongside Bill Belichick, Chuck Noll, Bill Walsh, and Joe Gibbs as the only head coaches to win at least three Super Bowl championships.
Reid has never lost a season with the Chiefs in his 11 seasons, and he has had double-digit victory seasons in each of the last ten years. Reid has won eight straight AFC West crowns, six consecutive conference championships, four AFC crowns, and two Super Bowls throughout that time. The Chiefs are only the third team in NFL history to make four Super Bowls in a five-season span, joining the 1990-1993 Buffalo Bills and the 2014-2018 New England Patriots.
Reid was awarded a contract deal this offseason, and as long as Mahomes is at quarterback, the Chiefs appear to be the team to beat in the NFL. Still, with so much money earmarked for the NFL’s top quarterback — and a large offseason deal on defense this summer to lock down Chris Jones — it’s been tough to keep the squad together season after season, yet Reid continues to make Super Bowl runs year after year.
Reid and Mahomes cannot take all of the credit; Chiefs GM Brett Veach has been tasked with replacing holes when the team has been forced to part ways with top talent, and he has done so admirably. As it stands, this year’s roster appears to be more skilled than last year’s, when Mahomes was forced to pass the ball to Travis Kelce and rely on youngster Rashee Rice as his primary wideout. Rice improved throughout the season and made significant contributions, but his fate in 2024 remains questionable due to unresolved legal difficulties.
But Veach went out and signed Hollywood Brown as a proven downfield threat and added the fastest wideout in the draft by selecting Xavier Worthy from Texas in the first round. If all three of those receivers can be on the field at once it will be hard to stop the KC offense.
Now that Mahomes has reliable targets, Bleacher Report believes it’s time for the organization to kick the tires on a recent second round WR that hasn’t produced like they had hoped.
Kansas City Chiefs Urged To Cut Ties With WR Skyy Moore
Rice’s status is obviously worth monitoring with a potential punishment approaching, but the Chiefs have done a good job of improving this position generally since Tyreek Hill left to join the Miami Dolphins. However, not every Hill replacement has proven successful for general manager Brett Veach and the Kansas City front office. And the immediate successor has been among the least effective.
“In 2022, the Kansas City Chiefs drafted Western Michigan wideout Skyy Moore in the second round,” Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport wrote on June 3. stating: “To say that Moore has been a disappointment to date is an understatement—he has yet to eclipse 250 receiving yards in a season.”
Davenport went on to argue that KC should “get what they can and move on” from Moore via trade. “[The newfound WR depth] affords Kansas City the opportunity to rid themselves of another mistake,” the writer reasoned, hinting Moore might fetch some sort of return compared to a lost cause like Kadarius Toney
