Regardless of the reason, the Chiefs have become the villains of the NFL.
On the most recent episode of their podcast, New Heights, Jason Kelce asked his brother, Travis, how the team felt about becoming the NFL’s villains.
“I love it, I love it. At one point in time, it wasn’t that,” Travis said.
“You guys were the darling of the NFL,” Jason responded.
“Yeah, I was the ‘do you feel bad for him guys,’” Travis explained.
The Chiefs were never bad in Kelce’s early years with Kansas City. They were frequently a playoff team. However, the championships and deep playoff runs didn’t come about until the arrival of Patrick Mahomes.
The Chiefs have been to four of the last five Super Bowls and won three of them. On February 9, they can become the first three-peat dynasty of the Super Bowl era.
However, no matter how much they win, especially if they continue to win, their status as villains will remain unchanged.
“I’m enjoying doing this with the guys together, the guys that we have in there, because it’s like it just makes us even more of a family,” Kelce said. “You just circle the wagons when sh*t, you know people are saying whatever they want. And you just band it together, and it just makes you appreciate more of what you have because people want what you have.”
Those wagons must be circles pretty tight because the Chiefs have faced more scrutiny this offseason than any other. Both playoff games have featured multiple highly controversial calls, all of which have gone the Chiefs’ way.
Will that change in the Super Bowl? We shall see.
