Recently retired safety Tyrann Mathieu, who played three seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, discussed what a revenge tour could be like for them this season.
As a member of the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl LIV championship team, Tyrann Mathieu understands the culture that is built in the organization. Despite going 15-2 in the regular season last year, the Chiefs would come up short as they were throttled by the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, and they now come into the 2025 season looking for revenge.
Having retired earlier this week, Mathieu appeared on the 'Up And Adams Show' with host Kay Adams and described what a revenge season in the locker room could look like for Kansas City.

"It's intense," Mathieu said. "There's this seriousness in there between coaches and players alike. They have to tap into that mindset in the spring. You can't save that type of stuff for middle of the season. I think it's all about mentality and attitude.
If I know those guys like I think I know them, they haven't had a good night of sleep since they lost that game. I think Patrick (Mahomes) is motivated, (Travis) Kelce is motivated. Coach Reid and Spagnuolo, they probably haven't left that building. I could see those guys starting fast and playing with an edge."
It may sound overblown to think that the Chiefs would be on a revenge tour after having won three Super Bowl championships since 2020, but with how last season ended for them, it makes sense. As a player who was in the locker room for one of the championship years, Mathieu would know first hand about the mindset they have coming into the year.
