2024 All-AFC playoff team: Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce headline Chiefs-heavy squad

To the victors go the spoils, which is something the Kansas City Chiefs know very well these days. It didn’t take long for the AFC to adopt another dynasty following the Tom Brady/Bill Belichick era in New England. In fact, Kansas City’s rise to the top began just after Brady’s Patriots won it all for the sixth and final time. 

The rest of the AFC may not like it, but the fact is that the Chiefs are the NFL’s new dynasty. That was made crystal clear this postseason, when Kansas City flexed its muscles on the road for the first time during a Patrick Mahomes-led playoff run. The Chiefs showed that, even when they’re not at their best, they’re still the team by which all other NFL teams are measured. 

The Chiefs won their fourth AFC title in five years lately because of the performances of several individuals. Those players are recognized here as part of our All-AFC playoff team. And don’t worry, non-Chiefs fans, more than a few players who don’t play for the defending AFC champs made the cut, too.

No surprise here. Mahomes is currently second to Jared Goff in passing…
