Chiefs Chance For Another Super Bowl All About Being 'Electric'

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Adam Schultz | Last updated Jul 2, 2025 8:26 AM ET

The Kansas City Chiefs offense will be hoping to avoid the injury bug in 2025 after it swallowed Marquise Brown and Rashee Rice last season.

Having those two back, plus the improvement of Xavier Worthy, Juju Smith-Schuster, and the ageless Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes has a solid group to work with. Plus, the offensive line hopes to be in better shape, and the run game has an injection of speed with Brashard Smith and Elijah Mitchell.

But after back-to-back so-so seasons of not having the explosive element to their offense, Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer thinks that with the return of several pieces from injury, it might just be rather good.

"I’ve let it be known that I think the Chiefs offense could be electric this year," Breer wrote. "Hollywood Brown and Xavier Worthy playing together for a whole year changes everything, and, internally, the Chiefs believe Rashee Rice will be a top-end receiver. Tackle remains a question, but with Josh Simmons and Jaylon Moore arriving, they have options. So why shouldn’t the Chiefs be back in the Super Bowl?"

The biggest concern for us is whether the Chiefs' receivers can stay healthy and the offensive line additions can mesh well, protecting Mahomes.

The unit gave up 47 sacks all of last year, by far the most ever for Patrick, and we saw how the offense operated without Rice and Brown.

Get those two back, plus improved play from the offensive line, and who knows, become a little explosive in the run game, the Chiefs might have something cooking in 2025.

Yes, that's a lot of ifs, but this Chiefs team deserves the benefit of the doubt until they fall off the proverbial cliff. ... and being "electric'' sounds Super Bowl-worthy to us.
