This is year 1 of 3 with Mahomes starting on his rookie deal. With the tough schedule (1st place Chiefs get 1st place Patriots and Jaguars while last place Broncos get last place Texans and Jets. Though a little joke on Denver, if Watson is healthy Texans should be more like a division winner than a cellar dweller.) and Mahomes first season and a shitty defense, it entirely possible the Chiefs finish somewhere between 4-12 and 7-9.
But that would just give the Chiefs better draft picks and an easier schedule for year 2 of Mahomes. They really are in the catbird seat. They could go to the playoffs (that's good!) or make next year easier (that's also good!). It's all gravy...but just for three years. Once you have to pay the guy, the advantage goes away. So yeah...no pressure this year. But the Super Bowl Window is the next three seasons.
