The Kansas City Chiefs entered Super Bowl LIX on the brink of making NFL history with hopes of achieving a three-peat. After claiming their ninth consecutive AFC West title and securing a franchise-record 15 regular season wins, a Chiefs victory seemed inevitable.
Following their Super Bowl win against the San Francisco 49ers the previous year, the Chiefs made it clear that their goal was to capture another championship and achieve a historic three-peat.
As part of this ambitious journey, the team gave fans unprecedented access to their lives on and off the field, resulting in a six-part docuseries. On March 28, it was revealed that the series will premiere later this year on ESPN and Disney+.
Fans aren’t happy with the documentary plans
However, the Chiefs’ bid for a third consecutive Super Bowl title ended in disappointment when the Philadelphia Eagles triumphed 40-22. Despite a valiant effort, the Chiefs, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, struggled to put up points until the third quarter, by which point they were already down 34-0. The crushing loss has left many fans hesitant to revisit the season.
Many fans are expressing reluctance to watch the docuseries, knowing how the story ends.
“Watching this like I watch Revenge of the Sith. Knowing how it ends but praying somehow this time will be different,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“So we get to relive the pain all over again, yay,” were the thoughts of another.
Some fans are even choosing to skip the series entirely.
“Gonna skip this one,” while another added, “Don’t really feel like reliving this season personally.”
Despite these mixed reactions, the docuseries will continue. Produced by Words + Pictures, Skydance Sports, NFL Films, 2PM Productions (Patrick Mahomes’ production company), and Foolish Club Studios, the series promises to take viewers behind the scenes of the Chiefs’ season, showcasing both the highs and lows of their championship pursuit.
While the ending would have been far more thrilling had the Chiefs achieved their three-peat, the docuseries will still provide a rare, in-depth look into the team’s journey, even if the outcome wasn’t as fans hoped.
