Chiefs announce 2023 team MVP, rookie of the year award winners

The Kansas City Chiefs have announced their Derrick Thomas and Mack Lee Hill award winners for the 2023 NFL season. The Chiefs finished the regular season 11-6 to claim the AFC’s No. 3 seed — and then went on to defeat the San Francisco 49ers, 25-22, in Super Bowl LVIII.

Kansas City has now won back-to-back championships — and three Super Bowls in five seasons. The team votes on these awards after each season has concluded.
