Chiefs Retool O-Line, Aim to Reclaim AFC Dominance in 2025
24 Aug
Summary
- Chiefs lost Super Bowl LIX to Eagles
- Offensive line was major weakness, Mahomes sacked 36 times
- Chiefs signed veteran Jaylon Moore, drafted Josh Simmons to improve O-line

As the 2025 NFL regular season approaches, the Kansas City Chiefs are determined to put their Super Bowl LIX defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles behind them. Going into the offseason, the franchise faced some self-doubts after their lopsided loss, but they knew they needed to make significant changes if they wanted to remain a contender in the AFC.
The biggest area of concern for the Chiefs was their offensive line. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes was sacked a career-high 36 times during the regular season and was brought down countless times in the playoffs, especially in the Super Bowl. General manager Brett Veach made it a priority to address this issue, signing veteran Jaylon Moore and drafting Josh Simmons in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Despite the Chiefs dropping all three of their preseason games, Mahomes has expressed confidence in the improvements made to the offensive line. As long as the unit can hold its own and give the star quarterback more time to locate open receivers, the Chiefs' offense could once again be the explosive force it was a couple of seasons ago.
