The Kansas City Chiefs experienced an uncharacteristically lackluster offensive season under Andy Reid, with Patrick Mahomes leading the charge. It marked a departure from their usual high standards, yet despite this, the team managed to secure back-to-back Super Bowl victories through resilience, stout defense, and Mahomes’ heroic performances.

This offensive downturn was one of the few factors preventing superstar tight end Travis Kelce from extending his streak of seven consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons to eight, a record-breaking achievement.

However, Kelce’s near miss doesn’t diminish his prowess; he remains a formidable force on the field with plenty of potential. Had the offense performed better and been less stagnant last season, it’s likely we would have witnessed the continuation of his remarkable streak. The belief in Kelce’s ability to bounce back in the 2024 season isn’t merely subjective; it’s shared by Pro Football Focus and the Chiefs organization.
