The Kansas City Chiefs are no longer the team to beat in the NFL.
They lost that distinction to the Philadelphia Eagles, and some believe we’ve already seen the best of them.
However, people should know better than to sleep on Patrick Mahomes.
With that in mind, Travis Kelce put the world on notice with a big warning about his teammate.
“Travis Kelce says Patrick Mahomes’ arm is alive right now – and is always a step ahead,” McKenzie Nelson of KSHB 41 News wrote on X.

Mahomes is coming off a down year by his standards, and the Chiefs’ offense hasn’t been as proficient since coordinator Eric Bieniemy left after the 2022 season.
Some of that had to do with injuries, yet their wide receivers are back to full strength, with Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Marquise Brown ready to go.
It has also been due to subpar pass protection, yet it looks like they’ve found their left tackle of the future in rookie Josh Simmons.
Mahomes is one of the fiercest competitors in the game, and he’s heard all the noise and the criticism.
He’s reportedly been talking with Tom Brady during the offseason, and that could be a scary thought for the rest of the league.
Andy Reid’s team already knows what it takes to bounce back from a Super Bowl loss.
The last time it happened, they won two of the next three titles.
It would be a big mistake to count them out.
