Kansas City Chiefs' Quest for History: 2025 Playoff Milestones to Watch

As the 2025 NFL postseason kicks off, the Kansas City Chiefs, armed with the AFC’s No. 1 seed and a coveted opening-round bye, find themselves poised to make even more history. Coming off back-to-back Super Bowl victories, the Chiefs are chasing a remarkable third straight championship—an unprecedented feat in NFL history. But beyond the Super Bowl title, there are numerous milestones within reach for the Chiefs and their key players as they embark on their playoff journey. Here’s a look at the potential records and achievements that could elevate Kansas City’s legacy even further.

All-Time Postseason Wins – Team

With 23 postseason victories to their name, the Chiefs currently share the sixth spot for all-time playoff wins with the Los Angeles Rams. Should they make another Super Bowl appearance, they would pass the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Giants (each with 25 wins). A Super Bowl LIX victory would allow them to leapfrog the Rams and Eagles as well, climbing even higher on the all-time list. With a deep playoff run, the Chiefs can continue to build upon their legacy, adding to their postseason tally in pursuit of future glory.

All-Time Super Bowl Wins – Team

Kansas City is already in elite company with four Super Bowl victories, tied with the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers. A third consecutive Super Bowl win would elevate the Chiefs to a tie with the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers, each with five championships. The prospect of a three-peat would solidify the Chiefs as one of the most successful franchises in NFL history, further cementing their place in the upper echelons of the league’s all-time greats.

All-Time Postseason Wins – Head Coach (Andy Reid)

Head coach Andy Reid is on the verge of securing his place among the NFL’s greatest coaches, with 26 career postseason victories. A Super Bowl win this year would push Reid to 29 postseason victories, putting him just two shy of the all-time record held by Bill Belichick (31). With Reid’s incredible track record of postseason success, his impact on the Chiefs’ dynasty cannot be overstated. Another playoff win would bring him one step closer to joining the exclusive club of all-time greats.

All-Time Postseason Victories – Quarterback (Patrick Mahomes)

At just 29 years old, Patrick Mahomes has already compiled an impressive 15 postseason victories. Should he win his next playoff game, he would tie Joe Montana for 16 postseason victories, but Mahomes would achieve this in nine fewer seasons. While he still trails Tom Brady’s NFL record of 35 postseason wins, Mahomes is well on his way to closing the gap, especially with several more playoff seasons ahead of him.

All-Time Postseason Touchdown Passes

With 41 career postseason touchdown passes, Mahomes is rapidly climbing the NFL’s all-time list. If he throws five more touchdowns during the 2025 playoffs, he would move into second place, surpassing Aaron Rodgers (45). Although Brady’s record of 73 postseason touchdowns remains a distant target, Mahomes’ ability to produce in the postseason is undeniable. A few more standout performances could put him in the conversation as one of the greatest postseason quarterbacks in NFL history.

All-Time Postseason Passing Yardage

Currently sitting at 5,135 postseason passing yards (eighth all-time), Mahomes has a legitimate chance to break into the Top 5 with a strong playoff run. He needs just 638 yards to pass both Joe Montana and Drew Brees, and with the weapons at his disposal, that milestone could come sooner rather than later. As Mahomes continues to rewrite the record books, he is well-positioned to become one of the most prolific postseason quarterbacks in NFL history.

Most 100-Yard Receiving Games – Tight End (Travis Kelce)

Travis Kelce has already tied Jerry Rice for the most 100-yard receiving games in NFL postseason history, with eight. One more 100-yard performance in this year’s playoffs would give Kelce the all-time record. Given the healthy state of the Chiefs’ offense, Kelce could be poised for another explosive postseason performance. With more opportunities to be the focal point of Kansas City’s passing attack, he’ll be aiming to break this record and further solidify his place among the NFL’s greatest tight ends.

Most Postseason Touchdown Receptions – Tight End (Travis Kelce)

Kelce is also chasing Jerry Rice’s record for the most postseason touchdown receptions (22). With 19 to his name, Kelce needs four more scores to stand alone atop the list. Over the last five playoff runs, Kelce has consistently been a red-zone threat, so it’s highly possible that he’ll add to his touchdown tally this postseason. If this season turns out to be his swan song, what better way to cap off an illustrious career than by setting a historic record?

Most Consecutive Super Bowl Wins – Team

The ultimate prize for the Chiefs would be to become the first NFL team to win three consecutive Super Bowls. No team that has won back-to-back championships has made it back to the Super Bowl the following year, making a three-peat a historically elusive feat. If the Chiefs can pull it off, they will solidify their status as the greatest dynasty the NFL has ever seen—surpassing the likes of the New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers. A victory here would transcend all of their previous accomplishments and make the Chiefs an unstoppable force in the NFL record books.

Final Thoughts

For Chiefs Kingdom, this postseason represents an opportunity to witness history in the making. With Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Andy Reid leading the charge, Kansas City is more than just a contender—it’s a dynasty in the making. A third consecutive Super Bowl victory would forever alter the legacy of this team, positioning the Chiefs as one of the most dominant franchises the NFL has ever seen.

As the Chiefs enter the postseason with a mission to add even more hardware to their collection, one thing is certain: this is a team capable of making history. Chiefs fans should savor every moment of what promises to be another exciting chapter in the team’s illustrious run. Whether they capture the ultimate prize or not, the legacy of the Kansas City Chiefs is already etched in the NFL history books, and they have an opportunity to take it to even greater heights.
