Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have once again led the Kansas City Chiefs to the top of the AFC standings, clinching the coveted number-one seed with their Christmas Day win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. With a 15-1 record, the Chiefs are not only on track to finish with the best record in franchise history but are also setting their sights on an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl victory.
The Chiefs’ dominance this season has placed them in an enviable position for another deep playoff run, and Mahomes is showing no signs of easing up, even as the holiday season is in full swing. Despite the celebratory atmosphere following their victory, Mahomes made it clear that his focus is entirely on the playoffs, prioritizing his fitness and performance over holiday indulgence.
Mahomes Stays Focused on the Playoffs
After the game, Mahomes and Kelce were both presented with cakes from Netflix in recognition of their impressive performances. However, Mahomes declined to indulge in the sweet treat, telling reporters, “I’m watching my weight for playoffs. I’m watching my weight.”
While no one would have batted an eye if Mahomes had taken a few celebratory bites of cake, especially on Christmas, it’s clear that the quarterback is locked in and fully committed to making NFL history. For Mahomes, the pursuit of a third straight Super Bowl title is far more important than a piece of cake.

Kelce Enjoys His Moment
Kelce, ever the playful teammate, didn’t share Mahomes’ restraint. He took a bite of the cake before jokingly adding, “More push aways than pulling in, that’s what Coach Reid would say.”
This lighthearted moment was a reminder of the camaraderie and sense of humor that helps fuel the Chiefs’ success, even during the most high-pressure moments.
Chiefs Ready for Playoff Push
The Chiefs’ 15-1 record has set them up for another championship run, and Mahomes’ dedication to maintaining his form highlights the team’s focus as they approach the postseason.
With one game remaining in the regular season—against the Denver Broncos in Denver next Sunday—the Chiefs are looking to fine-tune their performance before heading into the playoffs.
For Mahomes and the Chiefs, there’s little time for distractions. The cake may have to wait, but the pursuit of greatness continues.
As they close out their regular season and prepare for the playoffs, the Chiefs are determined to make history by becoming the first NFL team to win three consecutive Super Bowls—a feat that would cement their legacy as one of the league’s most dominant dynasties.
