THE Kansas City Chiefs fired an ominous warning to their rivals ahead of next season.
It was heartbreak for Patrick Mahomes and Co in February as they failed to make it a three-peat after Super Bowl defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Chiefs quarterback remains in the hunt for a fourth triumph and motivation to chase down Tom Brady‘s seven appears to be high.
In a video posted to social media by the team, Mahomes dropped a hint he is ready for a better season than ever before.
The clip showed the 29-year-old dusting himself down, flexing his bicep and then letting out a roar.
And in a warning to the rest of the NFL, the caption was: “Year nine won’t know what hit it.”
Mahomes has been with the Chiefs for eight seasons and he has made the Super Bowl five times.
Since he took over from Alex Smith as the QB in 2018, they have made the AFC Championship every year.
And fans are confident Mahomes will be back to his brilliant best come the start of the new season in September.
One said: “Yep, we’re going back to the Super Bowl.”
Another added: “Wow man still in awe that he’s our QB.”
A third wrote: “Everyone assumes we will be so bad this year. Can’t wait until we get to the Super Bowl to show the haters.”
More joked: “Ninth year? Jeez I feel old.”
Mahomes celebrated his first Father’s Day with three kids at the weekend.
His wife Brittany shared a heartwarming family snap and wrote: “Happy Father’s Day to our rock! The most incredible, loyal most fun dad everrrrrr.
“The way you love us is unmatched!
“You never let a day go by without letting these kids know how special they are! We love you.”
The couple’s kids are Sterling, 4, Patrick nicknamed ‘Bronze’, 2, and newborn Golden.
