Although the 2025 season was not his best statistically, the quarterback made a remarkable effort to keep the Chiefs alive in the playoff race until Week 16, when he suffered a devastating knee injury against the Los Angeles Chargers.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">Mahomes had a relatively quiet season compared to other years of his career, throwing for 3,587 yards, 22 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. However, he did all of this with virtually no strong running game.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">Another candidate who could have had a chance to win the award was <a href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/topic\/travis-kelce\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"break-word font-articleLinkText text-articleLinkText hover:text-articleLinkTextHover hover:bg-articleLinkTextHoverBg cursor-pointer border-solid border-b-articleLinkTextHover\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Travis Kelce<\/a>.

In fact, after his knee injury, the team collapsed with shocking losses to the Tennessee Titans and the Las Vegas Raiders.<\/p>\n<p>Chiefs\u2019 Rookie of the Year<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">The Kansas City Chiefs also confirmed that Ashton Gillotte was named the team\u2019s Rookie of the Year.

He recorded 1.5 sacks, 14 solo tackles, and one interception.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Andy Reid confirms if he\u2019s leaving Chiefs for another team in 2026 season with clear message\" href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/nfl\/andy-reid-confirms-if-hes-leaving-chiefs-for-another-team-in-2026-season-with-clear-message\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"article-also-read-embed\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aspect-square max-w-[100px] m-[10px] md:m-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/andyreid-200x200.webp.webp\" alt=\"Andy Reid confirms if he\u2019s leaving Chiefs for another team in 2026 season with clear message\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary my-[13px] uppercase text-alsoReadSeeAlso bg-alsoReadSeeAlsoBackground alsoReadSeeAlso w-fit\">see also<\/p>\n<p class=\"w-full line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2 text-alsoReadEmbedTitle font-primary alsoReadLink\">Andy Reid confirms if he\u2019s leaving Chiefs for another team in 2026 season with clear message<\/p>\n<p><\/a>Chiefs lose coach for 2026 season<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"break-word\">The Kansas City Chiefs confirmed that Matt Nagy is officially out of the team.
