## Resource

The Chiefs’ rough 6-11 season last year set the stage for a dramatic offseason rebuild — but can they truly bounce back? With Mahomes sidelined late, injuries, and legal woes hitting key playmakers like Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy, the offense’s ceiling feels shaky. Travis Kelce’s age and thin WR depth add pressure, while the defense — though solid — may buckle under elite playoff pressure. New corners and shaky linebackers raise red flags. A playoff run? Maybe. A Super Bowl repeat? Probably not yet. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
