Former NFL GMs’ Comments on Chiefs Super Bowl Chances | SI
Only one team in history has made four straight Super Bowls, and that is the Chiefs’ bitter AFC rivals, the Buffalo Bills. While the Bills didn’t end up winning any of those games, they still are the benchmark for history. With the Chiefs looking to bounce back in 2025, it has to be known within the organization that this goal is reachable.
However, former general manager of the New York Jets turned analyst Mike Tannenbaum revealed the one player who has the chance to stand between quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs franchise, and history.
“Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills, because of their style of play,” Tannenbaum said on ESPN’s Get Up.
42 years later, Joe Delaney’s sacrifice still resonates | NBC Sports
June 29, 1983. Delaney, only 24 years old and two years into his NFL career, gave his life while trying to save three children from drowning.
The children were struggling in a man-made pond in Monroe, Louisiana. Delaney didn’t hesitate to help.
“I can’t swim good, but I’ve got to save those kids,” he said. “If I don’t come up, get somebody.”

He was one of the bright young stars of the league. The second-round pick from Northwestern State rushed for 1,121 yards as a rookie in 1981, giving Kansas City its first winning record since 1973.
Chiefs Legend Cracks Top 10 in Proud, Yet Unfortunate Ranking | SI
In a recent ranking of the Top 30 players in National Football League history who haven’t won a Super Bowl, created by CBS Sports’ Bryan DeArdo, the Chiefs legend found himself cracking the Top 10. While the appreciation of Gonzalez’s game is there, a Super Bowl ring has never graced the legend’s finger. Gonzalez ranked eighth.
“Best chance: Despite starring on several talented Chiefs teams, Gonzalez’s first playoff win did not come until his 16th season. A member of the Falcons by that time, Gonzalez’s 10-yard touchdown reception gave Atlanta a 10-point lead over the 49ers in the divisional round of the 2012 playoffs,” DeArdo wrote.
“The Falcons were unable to hang onto their lead, however, as two touchdowns by Frank Gore (another great player that didn’t win a Super Bowl) lifted San Francisco to a 28-24 win. Gonzalez retired after the following season as the most prolific tight end in NFL history.”
