Three-time Super Bowl winner Patrick Mahomes will not play in the NFL post-season for the first time in his career as the Kansas City Chiefs have been eliminated from play-off contention. <\/b><\/p>\n
Sunday’s 16-13 loss at home to the Los Angeles Chargers means that, despite having three regular season games remaining, the Chiefs will miss out on the play-offs for the first time in 11 years.<\/p>\n
Kansas City’s third loss in a row – and fifth in six games – left them with a 6-8 record this season and could mark the end of an NFL dynasty.<\/p>\n
Head coach Andy Reid has led the Chiefs to the play-offs in each of the past 10 seasons and to the Super Bowl in five of the past six.<\/p>\n
They won the NFL’s championship game in 2020, 2023 and 2024, and were denied the first Super Bowl three-peat last February.<\/a><\/p>\n Mahomes, 30, became the Chiefs’ starting quarterback in 2018 and has reached at least the AFC Championship game in each of the past seven seasons, a run bettered only by the New England Patriots (2011-2018) <\/p>\n The Chiefs have also produced the second-longest post-season run in NFL history behind the Patriots (2009-2019).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
