The Kansas City Chiefs will be looking to do something next year that no team has ever accomplished.
That is to win three straight Super Bowl titles.
Winning back-to-back is hard enough, but now the Chiefs want to separate themselves as one of the best dynasties in pro sports.
But, every other NFL team knows what the Chiefs are hoping to accomplish.
That is why they will have a huge target on their backs next season.
One team that was unable to challenge the Chiefs this year was the Cincinnati Bengals.
That is because quarterback Joe Burrow suffered a season-ending injury.
But, if Burrow is back to full strength next year the Bengals should be a threat.
Stephen A. Smith thinks the Bengals are the biggest hurdle for the Chiefs next season, as he said on “First Take.”

Smith mentioned that Mahomes only has two playoff losses in his career.
One is to Tom Brady in the Super Bowl, and the other is to Burrow.
It is also worth mentioning that the AFC is loaded.
Outside of Burrow, the conference is loaded at quarterback with Josh Allen, Justin Herbert, Aaron Rodgers, and C.J. Stroud.
Any of those players could out-duel Mahomes on a given day.
Just like every NFL season, it will come down to a battle of attrition.
Any injury could flip the landscape of the AFC and the Super Bowl picture.
It will be interesting to see what team can emerge as a Super Bowl contender next year.
But, the favorites to represent the AFC should be the Chiefs until someone can knock them off.
