Upon their defeat to the <strong>Philadelphia Eagles<\/strong> in <strong>Super Bowl LIX<\/strong> last month, the <strong>Chiefs<\/strong> let NFL history &#8212; a first-ever Super Bowl three-peat &#8212; slip through their fingers, and no one knows when or if that chance will come again for <strong>Kansas City<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>But <strong>Patrick Mahomes<\/strong> and <strong>Travis Kelce<\/strong> are determined to reach <strong>Super Bowl LX<\/strong> next season &#8212; especially as <strong>Kelce<\/strong>, 35, will probably be playing his final NFL season in 2025. The Chiefs&#8217; hopes of playing in their fourh consecutive Super Bowl have been bolstered by a new workout video, posted by one of Kansas City&#8217;s injured stars.<\/p>\n<h2>Rashee Rice continues his recovery<\/h2>\n<p>An early-season knee injury ended <strong>Rashee Rice<\/strong>&#8216;s second NFL season &#8212; which had started splendidly and ended debate over the player&#8217;s off-season legal troubles that stemmed from a hit-and-run incident in <strong>Dallas<\/strong>. <strong>Rice<\/strong>&#8216;s 2024 season ended after a little more than three games, but a new workout video posted to social media shows the former second-round pick getting up to speed as part of an offseason regimen.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"zxx\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/D3Icbg4SDV\">pic.twitter.com\/D3Icbg4SDV<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Doub11e_R (@RiceRashee11) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RiceRashee11\/status\/1904680248332992983?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 25, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>After helping the Chiefs reach and win <strong>Super Bowl LVIII<\/strong> during the 2023 season, Rice began 2024 on a tear; <strong>at the time of his injury, he was on track to make more than 130 receptions and rack up in excess of 1,600 receiving yards <\/strong> &#8212; numbers that likely would have merited an <strong>All-Pro<\/strong> selection. But optimism that Rice could return for the latter stages of the regular season or the <strong>NFL playoffs<\/strong> never materialized, and he did not play again after <strong>Mahomes<\/strong> accidentally collided with him during the Week 4 matchup with the <strong>Los Angeles Chargers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Rice though believes he will be back and better than ever in 2025, giving Mahomes an exciting trio with which to work that includes <strong>Xavier Worthy<\/strong> and <strong>Marquise &#8220;Hollywood&#8221; Brown<\/strong> &#8212; not to mention Kelce, entering the 13th season of his legendary career.
