They are looking to bounce back this year after a disappointing end to the last, which finished in Super Bowl heartache.
The Chiefs were destroyed 40-22 by the Philadelphia Eagles down in New Orleans, Louisiana, in February.
It ended their hopes of a three-peat, which would have been a first in the history of the league.
Their chances of success this year mainly rely on their superstar quarterback Mahomes, the leader and main threat of the entire team
However, Reid’s latest announcement over the 29-year-old has fans fearing the worst heading into another season of football.
The veteran head coach has revealed their No1 QB will START in preseason this weekend.
The Chiefs take on the Arizona Cardinals this coming Saturday.
It is rare for the leading quarterback to start before the regular season begins.
It mostly comes from the fear they will be injured before the campaign really kicks off.
Mahomes is expected to play the first quarterback for the Chiefs against the Cardinals.
Reid is set to give all four of his QBs a quarter each in the game at the State Farm Stadium.
That includes his star man, along with Gardner Minshew, Bailey Zappe and Chris Oladokun.
It is not known how long Mahomes will actually play for.
The Chiefs head coach has announced he would start in preseason for the previous two years.
However, he was sat down on the bench after just one series, both times.
That could still prove to be a risk for their leading man.
Quarterbacks Michael Vick and Tony Romo suffered notorious serious injuries in preseason in the past.
Mahomes was quick to admit he will need to improve for the 2025 season after a downward year.
“There’s stuff we’ve got to get better at. Especially myself,” he told USA Today Sports.
“There’s plays on the football field that I didn’t make last year, that I’ve made in previous years.
“At the end of the day, I’m going to do whatever it takes to win, whether that’s passing for a lot of yards, not passing for a lot of yards.
“But I think if I play better, that’s going to make it better for the team.
“So, I’ve got to be better at executing whenever the shots are there, making those throws.
“Because that’s going to alleviate pressure on our defense and make them play more free and make the team play more free.”
