Was This the Greatest Super Bowl Run EVER? 

they got it ranked as the hardest superbowl path in nfl history for opponent dvoa

KC’s defense was sublime all year, and they seemed to get better when it mattered most. Great season & playoff run 🏆

This and the Giants 2007 run was brutal that’s the best run because they were complete underdogs in every matchup and had to beat a legendary team

Def a solid run. That defense was very elite then paired with Mahomes, you have something special

This Superbowl was very satisfying

The Chiefs getting hate for being good at a sport that you and I love is pathetic. The fans ruined this season by being petty and disrespectful to the Chiefs and their fanbase. If you take out all the drama you got a beautiful season and a great Superbowl. The fans deserve that. But you add all the bs to it and what happens? You just made that victory more sweet. I’m glad y’all got to witness what happened. You’ll learn and maybe be a little more humble and put that conspiracy junk to rest. Now let’s watch some football. Next year. Nice to be the villains and win.

I love my Chiefs and this was by far the most satisfying Super Bowl they have won. However, the 2007 Giants was much harder. Nobody and their mama thought that undefeated Patriots team would ever lose...literally they looked unbeatable that year. Moss and Brady collapsed to Eli🤢🤮. Awesome memories seeing Eli win and Plaxico

Starting at the Eagles game, I’m sad to say, my belief in the Chiefs cracked. That was only the beginning of , if I have it right, losing 4 of 6 games. To lose home field advantage was a big let down. They have NEVER had to play a playoff game away. And AT Buffalo? AT Baltimore?? Thank you Big Red and all too many to name!!!

One of the best playoff runs I can remember seeing for sure. Imagine beating all 4 of those teams in a season. That would be huge. Chiefs beat those 4 teams all in a row. Incredible

KC were gone for all money mid way through the season, what a great turnaround. They deserve all the credit for their success.

No luck. You run what you brung. Beating the #4 and #2 seed teams and then both #1 seed teams isn't luck. The Chiefs were - in the end - the best team. Now go get that 3-peat Chiefs.

The Chiefs team in 1969 had a tough path to the Super Bowl as well. They had to play the defending Super Bowl champs (New York Jets) on the road and then go to Oakland to play the Raiders who had just destroyed the Oilers the week before 56-7. In the Super Bowl, they played the Vikings who had the number one offense and defense in the league that year. It was definately one of the toughest and greatest playoff runs in history.

Here before the "rigged" comments

Patrick Mahomes has the all time record for most times causing NFL fans to say the word "rigged"

Mahomes and the Chiefs are inevitable.

Chiefs fan - yeah, we got a little lucky, and we also had some bad luck - but every team does. We made the most of every opportunity we had, and figured things out on offense at the perfect time. That run was a thing of beauty.

The NFL is pretty nervous about what the future looks like when parity is their goal. It has been stated over and over that the Chiefs made their run in a down year, and still won it all. However, hold on to your hats, it is going to get worse as they reap the true unseen harvest of their success. Truly great players, from around the league, who have made a ton of money, and lots of personal success, without a ring, are going to want at least one to go on their resumes. Only one place in the league gives them a near sure opportunity. They will take less money to play with Mahomes. I think Tranquill made that decision, and started it. Whose next....think of all the great players who have never been to a SB. Every year that goes by, more will test it.

Everyone was saying chiefs win because they played at home now we played on the road what happened we won

Absolutely one of the greatest playoff runs ever!

This is an absolutely insane take.

Yes. Tired of hearing how their opponents didn’t play their best. It was because they were playing KC.

The way the chiefs offense flipped the switch in the playoffs was super refreshing

Giants in 2007 was WAY tougher. Most impressive run I've ever seen. EVERYONE picked against them EVERY week. And they proved them wrong against the very best-all on the road. Then they played the best team in history and won.

Mfs out here acting like Eli Manning didn’t shut Tom Brady down in the Super Bowl twice

The 07 Giants imo. People forget how good Dallas was that season and Green Bay too. Obviously the pats at the end was the icing on the cake. It was incredible

I was a grinder of a championship season. The record was good it didn't seem like a super bowl team. They beat solid teams to get it done. Wild card to super bowl.

10% luck 50% skill 15% concentrated power of will 5% pleasure 20% pain And 100% reason to remember the name

Just look at the betting odds vs MIA: - 4.5 pt favorites - 65% chance of wining @ BUF: - 2.5 pt underdogs - 45% chance of wining @ BAL: - 4.5 pt underdogs - 35% chance of wining vs SF: - 2.5 pt underdogs - 45% chance of wining Total: 4.5% chance of winning SB

Hey great video keep up the good work

⚠️ Warning ⚠️ Doubting the Chiefs has been shown by the state of Missouri to carry the following side effects: 1. Winning seasons by the the Chiefs. 2. Lamar Hunt Trophies returned home. 3. Lombardi Trophies not seen by other NFL teams for years at a time. 4. MVP seasons for Chiefs QB's. 5. Super Bowl Rings given to Chiefs players during "rebuild" years. See your doctor if you experience any of the following: poor performance by other NFL teams, lost games by other AFC West teams, belief in other QB's being better and / or death of your teams payoff berth. Do not consume alcoholic beverages while doubting the Chiefs. Do not doubt the Chiefs while pregnant or breastfeeding, as this could lead to your child becoming a bitter Raider's or Bengal's fan.

Giants 07 and 11 toughest runs ever based on how bad the talent the giants had on those teams vs their opponents

The Chiefs are a top tier team, but they all are at this level of post-season play. The x-factor: Andy Reid. That guy made a statement without saying a word. Best head coach in the league.

Chiefs fan here-this run is up there. For all the folks saying Giants 07, i think the Giants 2011 run was actually more difficult. The fact it was 4 road games and 18-0 Pats obscures things a bit. The first road game in 07 was against a 9-7 Jeff Garcia Bucs team that the Giants actually had a better record than. In 2011 the Giants dominated a really good Falcons team with Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Tony Gonzalez and Roddy White. 2nd round they went to 14-2 Green Bay and won. I think that Packers team was slightly better than than the 07 Packers team simply because prime Rodgers was better at that stage than Favre. NFC title game was a battle in San Francisco that they frankly got a bit lucky to win thanks to special teams gaffes. Compared to 07 what had the Cowboys ever done to that point in the playoffs with Romo and Wade Phillips? There’s a reason they’ve not been back to the NFC Title game since 95 after all 😂. Obviously the 07 Patriots were better than the 2011 team but it’s not like that group was terrible with prime Gronk and….ahhhh…prime Aaron Hernandez. Point being Giants 2011 road to a title overall was far harder than 2007. Also have to say the Bucs in the weird COVID year despite attendance issues and getting Taylor Heinicke in round 1. Three straight road wins and beating Brees, Rodgers and Mahomes is impressive. And underrated one that’s forgotten a bit too is the 1997 Broncos. Started with a home win over Jacksonville team that upset them one year earlier in the divisional round, then they went on the road and beat KC and Pittsburgh after losing in both places during the season, before beating the defending champion Packers to end the AFC’s decade plus Super Bowl losing streak. I think that one gets forgotten about a bit because, looking back, two of the wins came against teams quarterbacked by Elvis Grbac and Kordell Stewart. Aside from the statistics and seedings and defensive numbers, I think that’s where the Chiefs run this year may stand the test of time. Remains to be seen what kind of career Tua and Purdy have but Lamar and Allen could well be on Hall of Fame tracks. When you go through multiple QBs with HOF credentials, especially on the road in a Super Bowl run it certainly elevates things.

That wildcard 07 giants team that beat the undefeated Patriots path was a lil harder than this chiefs run

This whole season was a giant test for our Chiefs,started hot,then hard times,dropped balls,noone seemed to click,then they got beat by the Raiders in a very bad game,that Raiders game woke em up,22 straight drives they scored,beat the no.1 offense,then went to Buffalo on the road and beat the no.4 offense and not a bad defense,then went on to Baltimore and swung hard and connected,then the ultimate test,to go back to back,didnt look good in the beginning,but then they for their fire from a botched punt by the Niners,from then on we all knew we had this,ot or not,this is the best season by far,it shows you the confidence in each other,great fricken season and a greater outcome,proud to be a Chiefs fan,feels fricken great

It's up there .. the big issue that knocks it down and bit is that... 1) The Dolphins had to pick up pash rushers the week before, of the street, and had other major injuries. 2) The Bills Defense had major injuries on their D esp at LB. 3) Ravens were pretty stacked 4) 49ers had a major cog in their defense at linebacker blow an Achilles in the 1st half and the Chiefs to major advantage of his replacement. ... I still keep it up there but have to put limited on it due to the things listed above.

Bucs had to go on the road against two hall of famers in Brees and Rodgers and not to mention another hall of famer in Mahomes

07 Giants win at Tampa bay win at 1seed Dallas win at 2 seed Green bay beat undefeated Patriots. 2011 Giants pretty impressive as well. Destroy Atlanta at home Dominate 1 seed 15-1 Packers at green bay beat 14-3 niners at san Francisco beat 15-3 Patriots

I'd give a slight edge to the 2007 NY Giants, they played THREE road games all through the playoffs just to get to the Super Bowl & there, they had to face the unbeaten New England Patriots that year, remember? Heavy 'underdogs' in that Super Bowl, but they went on & upset the Pats to win that Super Bowl. 🙂 But I will say, the Chiefs had plenty of concerns this season, there was doubt surrounding the Chiefs late in the season, but righted the ship....and still got it done when it mattered. 🙂

one of the best defensive runs in playoff history for sure

Well it was stacked against them. Not an easy run for any team. Played the best of the best for sure.

I'm a Ravens fan from EU. I was really disappointed by my team showing, we would have crushed the 9ers, but i'm happy the chiefs won it all, they deserve it. Won't 3peat though, we will get the next one.

It was definitely a really impressive run, one of the more difficult runs in recent memory. But no super bowl run is more impressive or difficult as the 07 giants. On the road every game and a huge underdog in every one as well. Beat green bay on the road in the freezing cold against Favre and obviously taking out the legendary 18-0 patriots. Nothing beats that run. We'll never see something like that again

I said No!!! because Pat of KC is probably the best QB playing right now.

That was one of the most impressive runs you will ever see. Amazing!

They faced the best the NFL had to offer... Luck is a factor but they won 4 straight against the best!

I agree. Another run I find to be underappreciated is the bucs Super Bowl year with Brady. The bucs beat Rogers, Brees and Mahomes.(and a possessed Taylor Heinicke)

I can’t really compare it to other team’s journeys. But being so close to this one and seeing the struggles of this team pretty much all season and for them to beat 3 of the top teams in the league makes me grateful to be a fan.

Giants, 2007.

I think there might have been a little luck against the Ravens. But that's all you need when you've got 1) Mahomes 2) Andy Reid 3) Travis Kelce 4) Steve Spagnuolo 5) Chris Jones. The past few season with the Chiefs has been a game of "how many pieces can we lose and still go all the way?"

Congrats to the Chiefs. Being a 9er fan it was a heartbreaking loss. Fantastic game though. Honestly was one of the best games I've seen. Was intense and close throughout most of the game

2012 Flacco was different, took out a young Andrew Luck and make sure Tom Brady &Peyton Manning enjoyed the pro bowl that year. And started the acne for the 49ers fans in the 21st-century.

I agree with most of your review here. They got a bit lucky vs Miami. A warm weather team, playing in those temperatures, gave KC a distinct advantage. KC was full value for their run though. Miami lived by the sword and died by it. Miami subjects opposing teams to being on the sunny side of the field when they play in Miami, which can often be over 100'F during the game, while the Dolphins sit in the shade on their side of the stadium. This is by design... so Miami got a bit of karma there.

Steelers 06 run wasnt no joke either

definitely the toughest out of the 3 titles. Had to play miami in negative temperatures (I was at that game). Had to go on the road in the playoffs for the first time in the Mahomes era and KO'd buffalo. Then went to baltimore and outplayed them, super bowl was a stressful one and the best part of winning this super bowl was that it was in our most hated rivals stadium.

Because of the struggles all year this is well deserved.

I'm SICK of fans today who think EVERY team that wins is 'lucky' or a 'fluke'. What is YOUR standard for success then if you think EVERY team today ISN'T good enough to win anymore?? I guess YOUR teams don't win anything so you have to slander every OTHER team that wins because you HATE seeing other teams win??

Hell yea! 4 top Teams we won 3 on the road!

The Steelers in SB XL were the 6th seed and there were no upsets.. they had to fight through all the best teams.

Yes. According to EPA and DVOA, they played two historically good teams.

The 1980 Raiders had an even tougher run as The Very First Wild Card Team to win the Super Bowl.

3 peat probability As of now 23-25%

4 Super Bowls in 6 years was the greatest Super Bowl run in history. The Steelers of the 70s !

Uhhh 2012 ravens luck, Peyton, Brady?

Meanwhile the Niners almost lost to Greenbay and Detroit

They weren’t the best team throughout the regular season but they beat the 4 best teams in the league in the playoffs. Nobody can question their run.

short answer is no. definitely hard and everybody doubted them but I think 2007 Giants was harder. They faced possibly the greatest team in NFL history in the Super Bowl

I think the Giants beat Cowboys (#1), Packers (#2), and the Patriots (#1, undefeated) in 2008…..that was the hardest one for me IMO Of course this run by the Chiefs was no joke either. The aura of Mahomes made teams shy away from what they do best.

Didn’t think they had a chance but they did it. And the refs didn’t help them. Refs have been punishing them for years now. If they retain same defense and get good receivers, they’ll definitely win again.

Honestly, I feel like we just flipped a coin four times and it came up heads each time. I mean - a punt hitting a player's foot!? That fumble on the first drive could have easily been recovered by the 49'ers, too. And the 49'ers got the worst of the injuries. That's just how football is, though.

You might want to have a look at the strength of schedule for each of these teams. Chiefs had the toughest schedule in the NFL all season long and still managed to make it to and win the Super Bowl. Again. So yeah, this is probably the greatest playoff run ever. 😊

There’s no way this was the toughest road for any Super Bowl team. Maybe for repeating champs, but no way the toughest. 1980 Raiders were the first wildcard team to win a Super Bowl, so they have to get some credit. 2005 Steelers were the first to win 3 road games to win the Super Bowl (beating #3 seed Cincinnati, who they lost the division to, #1 ranked Colts who demolished them in the regular season, #2 Broncos in Mile High, and #1 Seahawks in the Super Bowl. 2007 Giants beat the #4 Bucs, #1 Cowboys, and #2 Packers, along with the undefeated Patriots in the Super Bowl. 2010 Packers also won 3 games on the road to beat the #1 defense in the NFL that year. 2011 Giants also had a tough road. 2012 Ravens beat Peyton Manning and Tom Brady on the road in consecutive weeks. 2020 Bucs had to beat their nemesis Saints on the road and Packers on the road too, along with slaughtering the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. 2023 Chiefs beat a Dolphins team that was frozen before they got off the plane, a Bills team that couldn’t catch a cold in Buffalo in January, and a Ravens team that couldn’t punch themselves out of a paper bag. At least the 49ers played somewhat quality football, but Shanahan’s failure to make halftime adjustments, along with not coaching the little things (like OT rules), made them underperform in the Super Bowl. Good coaching carried the Chiefs to championships. If they didn’t have Spaggs, Mahomes wouldn’t have a single ring.

Yes All hail the glorious Chiefs

One word: Three-peat.

It was extremely difficult.

EXCELLENCE, NEVER LUCK

Patrick's face says it all. He was a happy camper.

i watched this whole run, and it was incredible (and more so given KC's record of frequently coming from behind with Mahomes) but you can't top the 2007 Giants. They beat the Death Star at its peak to cap off a crazy post-season run. This debate though surely elevates Steve Spagnuolo, the only common factor to the two runs.

playing against the Top3 finalist for MVP, all of them in the road, against the best offense and defense.. against the MVP and against the best Offensive player.. nah 100% the hardest

How about he Giants 2007,5th seed 3 rookies on starting lineup,no Shockey,Eli took down Romo, Farve and Brady and then another 3 game playoff in 2012,taking Brady down again!and in that took down Rogers at home 15 and 1!

There is no such thing as luck guys 🍀

It's because we are Chiefs Warriors!

Definitely one of the harder runs. Did help that the Dolphins and Bills D was pretty banged up and Lamar had an awful game. I think the 2007 Giants was still the hardest.

Don't for get that leading up to the post season, there was 7 straight weeks that the Chiefs had less rest between games than their opponents. This has never happened in the the NFL prior.

it was the greatest of all time.

Patty Mahomes is just that good!

reminds me of real madrid 2022 ucl campaign! no one had us as favorites! we had to beat the heavyweights in the knockout stage by slim of luck margin and in the finals it could've been anyone's game! thankfully madrid came out victorious in the end! that's what the 2023 chiefs reminded me of! championship mentality and they never gave up!

When it said run in the title, I thought it meant a run play LOL

Excellent video! I'm gonna NOT chock it up to just a lucky run.

New tom brady

By far it was the hardest path to a Superbowl I've ever seen. It was a murderers row. Compare that to Brady's typical path. He generally didn't face a contending team until the AFC championship or Superbowl. And usually when he came across Peyton Manning, it wasn't the same Manning we all loved watching in the regular season. Usually it was a guy playing way too tight or struggling to cope with the elements at Foxborough. Things may not be much easier in the future. The AFC just seems to be collecting more and more high end QBs and coaches.

Why don't my Rams get any credit. We took out the Goat and ruined their back2back aspirations, then beat Lame Lame Niner Gang who has swept us year after year, and beat the best QB WR duo in the league in Burrow & Chase

Eagles first Super Bowl was. Beating Tom Brady with a backup QB.

Greatest run all time!!!! Hands down like 6:30!!!!

It was awesome. I even ordered a thay kc mahomes jersey

The ravens beat the andrew luck led colts, peyton manning led broncos and the tom brady led patriots, to beat the 9ers

The chiefs defense was crazy good

bucs have beat Washington (2nd best passing defense) Saints (divisional winner and they were 2-0 against them) packers ( nfc leader and has the mvp) chiefs (mahomes)

Great run

This and the 2007 Giants runs are the best imo. Advanced analytics would say KC's run is slightly better than NY, so it's comes down to preference here. Imma roll with my Chiefs since we did play 2 road games, a game of -4 degrees at kickoff, and we we were underdogs in the final three contests. I only like the Giants run because that season was my first time watching the NFL and seeing such an unlikely title was so imprinting as a 9 year old, plus....they beat that cheater Tom Brady.
