65th season in franchise history
The 2024 season is the Kansas City Chiefs ' 55th season in the National Football League (NFL), their 65th overall and their twelfth under head coach Andy Reid . The Chiefs enter the season as the defending champions for the second straight year and will attempt to become the first team in the Super Bowl era to win three straight Super Bowl championships .
The Chiefs started 9–0 for the first time since 2013 and became the last undefeated team in the NFL following their Week 7 win over the San Francisco 49ers coupled with the Minnesota Vikings losing to the Detroit Lions earlier that day.
Following a Week 10 win over the Denver Broncos , the Chiefs secured their twelfth consecutive winning season. Their hopes of going undefeated were dashed following a Week 11 road loss to the Buffalo Bills . They clinched their tenth straight playoff berth following a Week 13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Black Friday coupled with the Miami Dolphins losing to the Green Bay Packers the previous day,[ 1] Los Angeles Chargers , the Chiefs clinched their ninth consecutive AFC West title, a record-extending 17th AFC West title, and improved on their 11–6 record from the previous season. Following a Week 16 win over the Houston Texans , the Chiefs went undefeated at home for the first time since 2003 . Following a Week 17 road win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day, the Chiefs clinched a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs as the top seed. They were also the first team to win at least 15 games since the 2015 Carolina Panthers , set a new franchise regular season win record, and became one of the first two teams to win 15 games in a 17-game season, along with the Detroit Lions , and the first AFC team to do so. Although they did win 15 games, they never scored more than 30 points in a game all season, becoming the first two time defending champion to not score more than 30 points since the 1956 Cleveland Browns , as well as 11 of their wins being within one score. Their point differential of +59 is the worst of all teams to finish with 3 or fewer losses since the 1970 AFL–NFL merger outside of the strike-shortened 1982 season .
As the AFC’s top seed, Kansas City is set to host the Houston Texans in the AFC Divisional Round, as the Chiefs will attempt to advance to the AFC Championship Game for the seventh consecutive season.
All transactions below occurred between the day after the Chiefs' final game of the 2023 season and the first game of the 2024 preseason. The only exception is futures contracts which the Chiefs began being signed after the conclusion of the 2023 regular season.
Futures contracts are signed beginning with the conclusion of the previous season. They typically consist of players who spent a portion of the previous season on the practice squad of a team.
