The Kansas City Chiefs have reached the pinnacle of the sport again.
On Sunday, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, 38-35.
It’s not a surprising ending – the Chiefs were among the favorites to win the Super Bowl before the season began – but it is a friendly reminder of the work the Chiefs’ front office and coaching staff have done over the years. The Chiefs are a well-oiled machine and could provide a college-level course on team building and sustainability.
Despite losing Tyreek Hill in the off-season, the Chiefs didn’t miss a step. In the playoffs, when they needed to call on Chad Henne after a Patrick Mahomes injury, Andy Reid and the offense hardly faltered. It was a textbook season for the Chiefs from week 1 to the final game of the year.
Teams will ultimately attempt to copy the work the Chiefs have done. While they can’t replicate the talent of Mahomes or Kelce, there are still plenty of lessons to be learned from the Chiefs’ approach to team building.
