Travis Kelce has helped the Kansas City Chiefs to five of the past six Super Bowls

Three-time Super Bowl winner Patrick Mahomes will not play in the NFL post-season for the first time in his career as the Kansas City Chiefs have been eliminated from play-off contention.

Sunday's 16-13 loss at home to the Los Angeles Chargers means that, despite having three regular season games remaining, the Chiefs will miss out on the play-offs for the first time in 11 years.

Head coach Andy Reid has led the Chiefs to the post-season in each of the past 10 seasons and to the Super Bowl in five of the past six.

They won the NFL's championship game in 2020, 2023 and 2024, and were denied the first Super Bowl three-peat last February.
