The Kansas City Chiefs aren't expected to have a down season again, as they did in 2025. Last season was viewed as "the" time to cash in, and it was the Seattle Seahawks who did.

But for the AFC, it was a chance missed, as Patrick Mahomes' Chiefs are predicted to bounce back in 2026, having had ample time to fix their glaring weaknesses.

The AFC's top dog had a down year but feels primed for a good season, and if one move goes down, it could spell doom for the rest of the AFC.

If Tyreek Hill rejoins Kansas City, as ESPN's Nate Taylor writes, it will complete Mahomes' Infinity Gauntlet ahead of 2026.

“If both parties can agree to a deal, whether later in the offseason or early in the season, Hill would be reunited with Mahomes, coach Andy Reid and potentially tight end Travis Kelce, who is strongly considering re-signing with the team for the 14th season in his career, according to multiple members of the Chiefs' organization," Taylor wrote.

Hill reunion nightmare fuel for AFC

Well, on paper anyway.

Mahomes having Hill, Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, and Travis Kelce isn't a bad quartet to have. Plus, if the Chiefs also address their run game, with say, Travis Etienne or Breece Hall, then yeah, the franchise will be a big problem.

Over the coming weeks, we will watch intently to see how Kansas City goes about fixing its roster after the disaster that was 2025.

And if Hill is signed, along with a star running back (even drafting Jeremiyah Love), the Chiefs will once again have that ominous feel about them.

Kansas City allowed someone else to play with the NFL toys for one season. No more.
