Chiefs Have Dominated NFL In This Category Over Last 4 Years
Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports

Since Andy Reid took over the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013, they have been one of the best teams in the NFL. They have had a winning record every season and coming into 2022, they have won double-digit games in every season except one. In 2014, the Chiefs went 9-7 and missed the playoffs, the only season they have failed to qualify for the postseason under Reid as well.

This season, Kansas City is well on its way to another double-digit win season. They are currently 9-2 with six games to play. If they don’t reach 10 wins, something went catastrophically wrong.

To have that kind of success, you need a lot of things to go right for you. Having a quarterback of Patrick Mahomes’ caliber certainly helps as he is arguably the best player in the league at the position right now and has the looks of someone that can be an all-time great.

As a starter, Mahomes has gone 59-15 in his career as the Chiefs have been steamrolling opponents for years. While winning a Super Bowl is the most impressive feat, there are other things that Kansas City has done that are truly eye-opening, such as their success on the road.

Winning away from home and in hostile environments is very difficult, but the Chiefs have made it look easy in recent years. In the last four seasons, 2019 up until right now, Kansas City is 24-5 on the road, a win percentage of .828.

Second place on the list is the Buffalo Bills, who are more than 100 percentage points behind the Chiefs with a record of 21-9, a .700 win percentage. Third place is the San Francisco 49ers, who are 21-10 with a .677 winning percentage. Rounding out the top five is a three-way tie between the New Orleans Saints, Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans, who are all 20-10 with a .667 win percentage.

Kansas City is in the midst of a special stretch of football with Mahomes leading the way. When you have a quarterback of that caliber, you are going to be a threat to win every time you take the field. He more than makes up for their sometimes underwhelming run game and lackluster defense.
