Chiefs headline list of NFL contenders that could take a step back in 2025

Generally speaking, it is lonely at the top. That's the age-old adage ceremoniously touted by those lucky enough to reach the peak of their respective professions. In team sports, you obviously celebrate the monumental achievement of reaching that crest with your teammates and coaches—not such a lonely feeling, right? The loneliness comes when those players from those teams experience what the Chiefs have experienced over the course of the last three seasons.

In the first episode of The Kingdom (if you haven't watched it, ask a friend for their Disney+ login, or just check out Scott Loring's fantastic breakdown of the series on our site), Chris Jones can be heard reminiscing about how "everyone loved us," referring to the beginning of the Chiefs' reign of NFL dominance.
