2025 didn\u2019t treat the Kansas City Chiefs all that kindly after a decade of excellence in the AFC. Several factors contributed to the 6-11 record, including special teams struggles and poor defense when it mattered most. However, the most noticeable difference was the change on offense.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs have been at the top of the league on the offensive side of the ball since quarterback Patrick Mahomes took over in Kansas City. Mahomes has led the Chiefs to five Super Bowl appearances and seven AFC Championship games since taking over in 2018.<\/p>\n

There was no sign of the same dominant offense in Kansas City this past season, however. The Chiefs finished the season with just 320.6 yards per game, only enough for 20th in the NFL<\/a>. It\u2019s only the second time the Chiefs haven’t finished with at least 350 yards per game since Mahomes took over at QB.<\/p>\n

It becomes even more alarming with the fact that the other season under 350 yards per game was in 2024<\/a>, meaning the offense hasn\u2019t been great in Kansas City for two consecutive seasons now. There\u2019s no denying that the Chiefs, despite their dominance in the early 2020s, no longer instill the same fear into opponents from the offensive side of the ball.<\/p>\n

Even with this, the Chiefs\u2019 offensive coordinator, Matt Nagy, is drawing interest this offseason for head coaching vacancies around the league. The Tennessee Titans have already interviewed Nagy, and he\u2019s been predicted to leave Kansas City for the Titans in a recent Bleacher Report article from Kristopher Knox<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cNagy has prior head-coaching experience, having led the Chicago Bears for four seasons. While his overall tenure in Chicago left something to be desired, Nagy did deliver two playoff berths. He also coached Mitch Trubisky during the only Pro Bowl campaign of his career.\u201d Knox wrote about Nagy\u2019s resume.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWhile Tennessee will weigh all options, the Kansas City connection between Nagy and [Titans\u2019 general manager] Borgonzi may be more than enough to seal this particular pairing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though the offense for the Chiefs hasn\u2019t lived up to its once-dominant label over the past couple of seasons, it isn\u2019t exactly the fault of Nagy. In 2025, injuries and suspensions played a big role in the Chiefs\u2019 failures. It\u2019s why Nagy remains as one of the most talked-about names to fill head coaching vacancies this offseason.<\/p>\n

Nagy has been with the Chiefs for several years, first starting with the team back in 2013. After his stint as the head coach for the Bears, Nagy immediately returned to Kansas City, playing a role in its last three Super Bowl appearances. Losing Nagy would be yet another blow to a demoralized Chiefs team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2025 didn\u2019t treat the Kansas City Chiefs all that kindly after a decade of excellence in the AFC.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":672915,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2063],"tags":[391,346,7,118,110,2438,2437,26822,4081,6,499,12871,394],"class_list":{"0":"post-672914","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-kansas-city-chiefs","8":"tag-chicago-bears","9":"tag-chiefs","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-kansas-city","12":"tag-kansas-city-chiefs","13":"tag-kansascity","14":"tag-kansascitychiefs","15":"tag-matt-nagy","16":"tag-mitch-trubisky","17":"tag-nfl","18":"tag-patrick-mahomes","19":"tag-super-bowl-appearances","20":"tag-tennessee-titans"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115885434812427610","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/672914","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=672914"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/672914\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/672915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=672914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=672914"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=672914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
