The Chiefs moved Thuney to left tackle for their final six competitive games. And though the move secured a weak spot — and helped the Chiefs to their third straight Super Bowl appearance — it came apart at the worst time when Mahomes was sacked a career-high six times in a 40-22 Super Bowl loss to the Eagles.

Chiefs GM Brett Veach told reporters that Kansas City’s front office will have to “think outside the box” during the 2025 NFL draft.

Despite their success, the Chiefs were dominated in Super Bowl LIX, losing to the Philadelphia Eagles, 40-22, on Feb. 9 in New Orleans. Before falling to the Eagles, the Chiefs defeated the Buffalo Bills and the Houston Texans in the postseason.
