The Kansas City Chiefs have been on a roll lately, winning their last eight season openers in a row. This impressive streak has put them in prime position to match the longest streak in NFL history, held by the San Francisco 49ers who won nine consecutive season openers from 1988 to 1996.
The Chiefs have been on a tear since their first win in 2012, when they defeated the Atlanta Falcons 40-24. Since then, the team has gone on to win seven more season openers, including a thrilling victory over the Houston Texans in 2019.
The Chiefs have been able to achieve this success thanks to the leadership of head coach Andy Reid and the stellar play of quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Reid has been with the team since 2013 and has led them to five division titles and two Super Bowl appearances. Mahomes has been with the team since 2017 and has already won an MVP award and a Super Bowl MVP award.
The Chiefs are now looking to make history by matching the longest streak in NFL history. If they can do it, they will join an elite group of teams that have achieved this feat, including the 49ers, the Dallas Cowboys, and the Denver Broncos.
The Chiefs will have their work cut out for them as they look to match the longest streak in NFL history. But with Reid and Mahomes leading the way, there is no doubt that they have what it takes to make it happen. It will be exciting to see if the Chiefs can make history and join an exclusive group of teams that have achieved this feat.
