In 2015, the Kansas City Chiefs we all but left for dead about six weeks into the season with a 1-5 record and losing players. However, that diagnosis was incorrect. They surged into an epic 11-game win streak and even a win against the eventual Super Bowl champs, the Denver Broncos. They also won their first playoff game since 1993, before losing to the New England Patriots a week later.
The 2016 offseason has seen some players leave, like cornerback Sean Smith, but for the most part general manager John Dorsey has held the team together. He even added to a struggling offensive line with the signing of Mitchell Schwartz, one of Pro Football Focus’ top 10 right tackles.
