The NFL “exposed” a shocking secret related to the Kansas City Chiefs!
The NFL finally decided to come clean on the worst-kept secret involving Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, following the release of the 2024 regular season schedule.
The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58 to complete the first NFL repeat in 19 years. With three Lombardi Trophies in five years, the Chiefs have cemented themselves as the new dynasty and golden franchise.
During his appearance on “The Adam Schefter Podcast”, NFL Vice President of Broadcast Planning Mike North admitted that the defending Super Bowl champions are the “bellcow” for the league schedule. That’s largely why the league decided to give KC a difficult schedule that’s loaded with primetime games:
“They’ve been our bellcow for a while, right? They’re kind of used to carrying our water for some of these unique kind of opportunities. You think about that Peacock playoff game last year…put a Chiefs game there. If Amazon wants to continue to try and build Black Friday into an event…put a Chiefs game there. You want to make Christmas on Netflix a thing? Put a Chiefs game there.”
Incredibly, the Chiefs will be playing on six different days of the week during the 2024 NFL regular season. Christmas falls on a Wednesday this year, and KC will visit Russell Wilson’s Pittsburgh Steelers in one of the two games on Dec. 25 (the other is Houston Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens).
