were once the loveable NFL underdogs, led by the good-natured coach who couldn’t win the big one, the plucky quarterback with the Kermit the Frog-like voice, and the superstar tight end with charisma to spare.As the Chiefs prepare to face the Eagles next Sunday in New Orleans with an opportunity to win their record third consecutive Lombardi Trophy, football fans are seeing Andy Reid's bushy mustache popping up on TV commercials.
“In 2025, the Chiefs are perhaps the main rivals for the Ravens, Steelers, Eagles, Chargers and any other team that aspires to championships. Now, the Chiefs are the team that prevents other fandoms from reaching the promised land.” “Fandom, at a fundamental level, is about identity. Being a fan is being part of community,” Lewis said. “When an NFL fan’s team wins, he wins. Likewise, when his team loses, he loses. All dynasties inspire fatigue and good-natured hate because it is tiring to lose to the same guys over and over.”
“When that team gets successful and passes you," Wann said, “it goes from, ‘Oh, isn’t that cute?' to ‘They beat our again.’ It changes the perspective.

Even when conspiracy theorists claim that NFL officials are calling games so that Kansas City will win. None of which is surprising when you consider that a study by digital marketing agency Hennessey Digital late last year found that Kelce was the NFL's most marketable player. Mahomes was right behind his good buddy at No. 2.
