Because of it, the Chiefs are officially eliminated from playoff contention this season. Kansas City had been in seven straight AFC Championship Games, and they have made the Super Bowl five times in the last seven seasons and won three titles. There will be a new AFC Champion this season and maybe the dynasty is also over for them as well.<\/p>\n<h2>NFL Fans Super Excited About the Kansas City Chiefs Missing the Playoffs This Season<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_377083\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-377083\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"&quot;Chiefs Are Not In the Playoffs&quot;: NFL Fans Super Excited About the Kansas City Chiefs Missing the Playoffs This Season 3\" src=\"https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/USATSI_27815125_168400517_lowres-1-400x600.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/USATSI_27815125_168400517_lowres-1-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/USATSI_27815125_168400517_lowres-1-768x1153.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/USATSI_27815125_168400517_lowres-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/USATSI_27815125_168400517_lowres-1-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/USATSI_27815125_168400517_lowres-1.jpg 1400w\" alt=\"&quot;Chiefs Are Not In The Playoffs&quot;: NFL Fans Super Excited About The Kansas City Chiefs Missing The Playoffs This Season - Gridiron Heroics\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-377083\">Dec 14, 2025; Kansas City, Missouri, USA; Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (15) looks to pass against the Los Angeles Chargers during the second quarter at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jay Biggerstaff-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There are many NFL fans who are super pumped that they will not be seeing Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in the playoffs this season. Many people were experiencing Chiefs fatigue. Missing the playoffs comes as a shock to them and Chiefs fans, but NFL fans are no doubt celebrating this moment. This is what some NFL fans said on Twitter about Kansas City missing the playoffs:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The Chiefs have been eliminated from playoff contention for the first time since 2014. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VW9CdIymTl\">pic.twitter.com\/VW9CdIymTl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ESPN (@espn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/espn\/status\/2000314316780716206?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 14, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>With this team being out with three games remaining, it will be interesting to see if they don\u2019t play as hard or if they will play hard. Gardner Minshew will probably be the starting quarterback the rest of the season because of Patrick Mahomes tearing ACL. With that being said, they currently have a 6-8 record this season and will get a good draft pick this upcoming NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kansas City Chiefs needed to lose to the Los Angeles Chargers and other scenarios needed to happen in order for the Chiefs to miss the playoffs.
