The terrifying signs Chiefs dynasty might just be getting started

Here’s a startling thought: What if the Chiefs’ dynasty isn’t yet at the halfway point? Most sports dynasties are relatively short-lived — Yankees (1996-2001), Cowboys (1992-95) and Islanders (1980-84), for example — but Tom Brady and Bill Belichick kept the Patriots on top for two decades.Even the Bulls (1991-98) reigned supreme longer than the Chiefs have so far. About to appear in their fifth Super Bowl since 2019 and their third straight, the Chiefs haven’t been slowed by parting with stars Tyreek Hill, Tyrann Mathieu and L’Jarius Sneed … or by the rise of likely three-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson as a rival … or by teams raiding their coaching staff and front office … or by injuries this season to playmakers Rashee Rice, Isiah Pacheco and Hollywood Brown. So, what could end the dynasty?

Andy Reid retires Speculation about the 66-year-old Reid’s coaching future dominated chatter last Super Bowl — before he signed an extension through 2029.Of course, Reid is under no obligation to see out that deal. Reid is 29 r...
