The Kansas City Chiefs were dominated in Super Bowl LIX, falling to the Philadelphia Eagles 40-22 to cap off the season.

Kansas City finished the season with a 17-3 record, including wins over the Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills in the postseason.

Following a disappointing end to the NFL season, the Chiefs added salt to the wound, losing one of their key coaching staff members to a conference rival.

According to Matt Zenitz , the Baltimore Ravens are expected to hire Chiefs safeties coach Donald D'Alesio, who has spent the last four years in Kansas City.

D'Alesio has been the Chiefs' safeties coach since 2022. He also spent one season as Kansas City's defensive assistant (2021).

Before taking his talents to the NFL, D'Alesio spent time at the collegiate level with the LSU Tigers during the 2020 season, serving as the defensive analyst. He also had several defense roles on the Youngstown State staff.

The Chiefs will now be looking for a replacement for D'Alesio as he heads to one of the most talented teams in the NFL. Baltimore capped off the season with a 13-6 record, including a victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card Round and a loss to the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round.
