Chiefs’ Last Missed Playoffs in 2014
The Kansas City Chiefs last missed the playoffs during the 2014 season. After losing to the Texans on Sunday Night Football and falling to 6-7, Kansas City’s streak of playoff appearances for the last decade is in major jeopardy.

The Broncos won the AFC West that season but lost to the Colts in the Divisional Round. The New England Patriots won the Super Bowl 28-24 over the Seattle Seahawks.
Alex Smith threw 18 touchdowns for the Chiefs and had 3,265 passing yards. Jamaal Charles had 1,033 rushing yards and 9 scores on the ground while also catching 5 touchdown passes. On defense, Justin Houston was a First-Team All-Pro selection in 2014. He had a league-high 22.0 sacks and was just a half-sack away from the single-season record set by Michael Strahan in 2001 (22.5).
2014 was Travis Kelce’s first season as a starter after playing in just 1 game in 2013. He finished the year with a team-high 67 catches for 862 yards. The Chiefs were 7-3 after a week 11 win over the Seahawks. Then, they dropped three games in a row to the Raiders, Broncos, and Cardinals.

Their fans have gotten used to them playing in the postseason and in the biggest games, including five Super Bowls over that span. Patrick Mahomes took over for Alex Smith in 2018 and won an MVP while leading the Chiefs to the AFC Championship Game. The following season, he was the Super Bowl MVP.
The decade-long playoff run began with Alex Smith at the helm in 2015-16. Kansas City lost in the divisional round of the playoffs in each of those seasons. Since 2015, the Chiefs have won at least 12 games a total of 7 times.
Three Super Bowl Titles Since 2019
Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid have guided the Kansas City Chiefs to three Super Bowl wins since 2019. Mahomes has been the MVP in all three games. First, it was a 31-20 win over the 49ers in Super Bowl LIV. Three years later, it was a 38-35 win over the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII. The next year, the Chiefs became the first back-to-back champions since the Patriots (2003-04) with a 25-22 win in overtime against the 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII.
In 2024, the Chiefs reached the Super Bowl for a third straight season, but they were dominated by the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX by a score of 40-22. Mahomes watched Jalen Hurts claim the Super Bowl MVP.
