2024 will be a long and busy year for the Kansas City Chiefs. The weight will be doubled compared to other seasons.

In fact, because it’s a feat that no other team has achieved in the NFL, the mentality can’t be affected at any cost.

That’s because outsiders and other teams will fight to threaten the franchise and cancel the three-peat dream.

The offseason talk is already about who is capable of stopping Kansas City in the fight for a historic achievement.

The Chiefs have even become a talking point among film personalities

Chiefs Wire journalist Ed Easton Jr. was at the American Century Championship and spoke to actor Don Cheadle about how he was viewing the competitiveness of the tournament and asked him to relate it to the villain figure that the current champions have earned.

“I don’t get like that [competitive],” said. “I mean, I know that people are taking bets on certain things. My friends have “last-longer” bets and better performance bets with other players. But like I said, it’s to see these dudes that I don’t, you know, necessarily get to see all year in that setting.”

The artist revealed that in the end it’s all a bit of marketing.

“I think it’s all [a] hype thing to sell tickets and get people to watch. And, of course, if somebody is sitting on top of the hill, you have to knock the king off the top,” Cheadle explained.

“So I’m sure they’re viewed as villains, but to see what they’ve done and to all the different iterations of personnel that they’ve had, and still been able to be as successful as they’ve been able to be.”

Chandler mentions Andy Reid as one of the people responsible for the Chiefs being the bad guys

When talking to Easton Jr., the 59-year-old Missouri native gave his opinion on what lies behind this villain persona.

“It’s a real testament to the team and to [what] Andy Reid has been able to do, and what the front office has been able to do, and how to put these people together and kept, the key pieces together to continue to make them the championship level, caliber team,”

He then teased: “So, yeah, they should be; they should be the bad guys. They’re the bad guys until they get beaten.”
