The Kansas City Chiefs are undefeated, but it has not come easy for them.
First, Marquise Brown was lost for the regular season with a shoulder injury. Then, Isiah Pacheco went down with a fractured fibula that will keep him out until later in the year.
Then, the team witnessed arguably their best player so far this season, Rashee Rice, get his knee taken out by teammate Patrick Mahomes following an interception.
Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce hasn’t been himself, and yet the team continues to rack up the wins.
Well, things just got frightening for the opponents of the Kansas City Chiefs.
After losing Isiah Pacheco, Rashee Rice, and Marquise Brown to serious injuries, many expected the Kansas City Chiefs to go out and trade for an offensive weapon.
They did just that Wednesday when they traded for former All-Pro receiver DeAndre Hopkins in an effort to keep their Super Bowl hopes alive.
In addition to that news, Marquise Brown, Rashee Rice, and RB Isiah Pacheco were back at the Kansas City training facility today.
The Chiefs are positioning themselves to make history on their quest for a third consecutive championship, a feat that has never been accomplished in the Super Bowl era.
The Kansas City Chiefs Just Got More Dangerous
The Chiefs are 6-0 but have looked like a team that is most certainly beatable.
Looking bad and still winning was already outrageous, and now that the team has traded for former All-Pro receiver DeAndre Hopkins, teams hoping they can catch them slipping have likely lost all hope.
Kudos to the Kansas City Chiefs front office, which is dedicated to taking advantage of having Patrick Mahomes in his prime.
So far in 2024, Hopkins has 15 receptions for 173 yards and a touchdown.
