It\u2019s funny enough that it happened once, but if it were to happen again, oh my. The Raiders would have to knock Allegiant Stadium down and build a whole new stadium at that point.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"70\">It\u2019s something that could genuinely happen too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"73\">Kansas City\u2019s Super Bowl window will always be open as long as they have Patrick Mahomes as their quarterback, and despite the Chiefs missing the playoffs last season, it\u2019s perfectly reasonable to expect KC to be in the playoffs competing for a championship again in 2029.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"76\">As for the Raiders, they are in the depths of a massive rebuild that may not be complete any time soon. Las Vegas will turn to a rookie quarterback, likely to be Fernando Mendoza, and rookie head coach Klint Kubiak as the team tries to win its first playoff game since 2003.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"79\">Even with a highly-rated head coach in Kubiak and the top quarterback in this year\u2019s draft class in Mendoza, plus key pieces like Ashton Jeanty, Brock Bowers and new center Tyler Linderbaum, there is no guarantee that the Raiders\u2019 rebuild will be quick or even successful.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7c\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/arrowheadaddict.com\/4-winners-3-losers-from-kansas-city-chiefs-ugly-week-18-loss-raiders-01ke5q9e4581\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Raiders won just three games last year<\/a>. Are they really going to be able to improve and return to the playoffs in three seasons? Will they be able to improve so much that they then get host and actually win a playoff game at their home stadium, in a division that includes the Chiefs and ascending Los Angeles Chargers and Denver Broncos teams, too? I don\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7f\">The way I see it, the Chiefs have a better chance to win Super Bowl LXIII in 2029 than the Raiders do of winning a playoff game before then. And if that were to happen, it would give Kansas City another all-time boast over its AFC West rival.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7i\">It would be hilarious.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Kansas City Chiefs have a chance to do something incredibly funny.
