The Kansas City Chiefs entered the 2025 season with a sour taste in their mouths after a blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl. 

Then, the Chiefs lost to the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil and fell to the Eagles in a Super Bowl rematch. 

However, they responded with a win over the New York Giants in Week 3, and they doubled down with a 37-20 win over Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4. 

Jeffri Chadiha of NFL.com revealed some pretenders and contenders, and yes, the Chiefs still are a contender. 

"It was a great weekend for the Chiefs. Their offense finally shook its early-season funk and performed at the level we’re more accustomed to seeing in a 37-20 win over Baltimore. Kansas City also picked up a game in the AFC West race after the Chargers fell to the Giants in New York. If both those contests had gone the other way, then the Chiefs would’ve fallen 3.5 games behind Los Angeles. Now, Kansas City has renewed confidence and plenty of reasons to think about catching up in the division. Patrick Mahomes finally looked like himself, as he threw four touchdown passes against Baltimore. The defense stifled Lamar Jackson once again and kept a team that had been averaging 37 points a game in check. There should still be concerns about how viable the Chiefs’ running game is -- the team averaged 2.8 yards per carry when Mahomes and wide receiver Xavier Worthy weren’t carrying the ball -- but head coach Andy Reid did show more commitment to it. This was a get-right game for the Chiefs against a formidable opponent. That says a lot about where they’ll be come January, which is where they usually are." 

Remember when people were writing off the Chiefs? Well, it's hard to do that when Patrick Mahomes is throwing passes. 

Can Kansas City make another Super Bowl trip? Will Andy Reid's team win the AFC West again? A couple of weeks ago, the argument could've been made that the dynasty was running out. However, that might not be the case anymore.
