When was the last time Chiefs missed the playoffs?

The Kansas City Chiefs boast one of the most successful NFL franchises in recent history, going several years without missing a playoff opportunity. 

Chiefs fans are painfully aware of the fact that this year, the season may not stretch into the late wintry weeks of January.

It’s a cold hard truth, one that Kansas City hasn’t had to face in quite some time. The Chiefs have built and maintained one of the most dominant franchises in football in the past decade, making the playoffs eight times since 2010.

While quarterback Patrick Mahomes has led the team to victory for the past three seasons, culminating in a 2019 Super Bowl victory and two Super Bowl appearances.

With Andy Reid at coach since 2013, the AFC West franchise has been uplifted to dominating the division ever since the Denver Broncos ceded their power after their own Super Bowl win in 2015.

When was the last time the Chiefs missed the playoffs?

The Kansas City Chiefs have earned a playoff berth for the past six consecutive seasons, meaning the club hasn’t missed the playoffs since 2014.

After Andy Reid took his new team to the Wild Card round on an 11-5 record in 2013, the Chiefs missed the playoffs the next season with a 9-7 record.

Since then, the Kansas City team has boasted spectacular seasons, their worst playoff season being 2017 when the team finished 10-6.

As challenging as that might be, this is the franchise that has visited the biggest game two years in a row and hasn’t missed the playoffs since 2014.
