The Kansas City Chiefs lose ONE playoff game in three years and all of a sudden the haters are screaming out of their cry holes that “THE DYNASTY IS OVER” and Patrick Mahomes is “NO LONGER IN THE GOAT DEBATE”. They’re 9-1 in the playoffs in the last three years. Patrick Mahomes is 17-4 in the playoffs. Patrick Mahomes has won 83% of his playoff games in his career, and has the second highest quarterback rating in playoff history. RELAX…
Relax: The Chiefs’ Dynasty Isn’t Over
The Kansas City Chiefs lost one playoff game in three years, and suddenly the haters are in full force, screaming that “The Dynasty Is Over” and that Patrick Mahomes is “No Longer in the GOAT Debate.” Let’s take a deep breath and look at the facts.
A Playoff Dominance Unlike Any Other
In the last three seasons, the Chiefs are 9-1 in the playoffs—an absurd level of dominance in a league built for parity. Patrick Mahomes, in just six full seasons as a starter, has already compiled a playoff record of 17-4. That’s a staggering 83% win rate in the postseason, something even the greats like Tom Brady, Joe Montana, and Peyton Manning can’t claim.
For perspective:
•Tom Brady finished his career with a 35-13 playoff record (73% win rate).
•Joe Montana? 16-7 (70%).
•Peyton Manning? 14-13 (52%).
Mahomes isn’t just winning in the playoffs—he’s dominating. His playoff passer rating is the second-highest in NFL history, proving that he consistently plays his best football when it matters most.
One Loss Doesn’t Erase a Dynasty
The Chiefs have been to four Super Bowls in five years, winning three of them. They’ve hosted the AFC Championship Game every season since 2018. That’s a level of sustained excellence that few teams in NFL history have ever reached.
So now, after one playoff loss in three years, the “Dynasty Is Over” crowd is out in full force? That’s just wishful thinking from those tired of seeing the Chiefs dominate.
Look back at other dynasties:
•The Patriots lost playoff games in multiple years during their two-decade reign, but their dynasty never ended until Brady left.
•The 49ers lost playoff games under Montana and Young, but that didn’t erase their dominance in the ’80s and ’90s.
The idea that one loss to a talented opponent suddenly ends the Chiefs’ reign is just laughable.
Patrick Mahomes Is Still in the GOAT Debate
Let’s get this straight: Mahomes is only 28 years old, and he already has:
✅ 3 Super Bowl titles
✅ 2 MVP awards
✅ 3 Super Bowl MVPs
✅ 5 AFC Championship appearances
✅ 17 playoff wins (and counting)
He’s already on a trajectory that no other quarterback in history has matched at this stage in their career. Tom Brady didn’t win his third Super Bowl MVP until he was 37 years old. Mahomes has already done it by 28.
Even if Mahomes retired tomorrow, he’d already be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. The fact that he has at least another decade left makes the GOAT debate very much alive.
Final Thoughts: Relax
The Chiefs aren’t going anywhere. Mahomes isn’t going anywhere. One playoff loss doesn’t erase years of dominance. The haters can scream all they want, but history will remember this era for what it truly is: The Patrick Mahomes Dynasty.
