Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs just won their second consecutive Super Bowl after beating the San Francisco 49ers in a 25-22 thriller in Las Vegas. Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have officially built a new dynasty.

However, in order to defend the title, the Chiefs’ front office has big decisions ahead. L’Jarius Sneed already received a non-exclusive franchise tag and Chris Jones is waiting for a massive contract extension.

Although Mahomes was sensational during the playoffs, the defense was one of the best in the NFL carrying the team all the way to the championship. That’s why they need to bring back all their stars trying to achieve something that would set them apart in any comparison with the New England Patriots and Tom Brady: a 3-peat.
