The Kansas City Chiefs have set a franchise record for regular season wins with 15, and they accomplished it in the traditional sixteen games. An overlooked accomplishment was how they handled the football offensively to finish the year.
The Chiefs ended the 2024 campaign without committing a turnover over the last seven games. The previous turnover was a Patrick Mahomes interception in the Week 11 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Rookie fullback Carson Steele had his share of turnovers to start the season. In his press conference with reporters, he discussed players’ mindset regarding avoiding fumbles last week.
“Guys are more antsy about it,” said Steele, “especially the last couple (of) teams we’ve played. The Steelers were really big (at) knocking the ball out. So we try to learn from our mistakes and keep going.”
Since Week 12, the Chiefs have been a league-best +11 in turnover margin, and Kansas City finished +6 for the season. During that seven-game span, Mahomes hasn’t thrown an interception in 237 consecutive attempts, which is his longest career streak.
