Let’s take a look back at a rather disappointing 2025 season for the Kansas City Chiefs and try to reflect on the best of the year. Starting this week with the fifth-best play of the season, we’ll spend the weeks leading up to the start of Chiefs’ Training Camp breaking down one play at a time until we get to the best play of the season.

These aren’t going to be purely the best highlight plays, but also combine situation, importance, and the overall vibe of the moment the play occurred. Let’s check out play Number 5.

Top 5 Plays of 2025: Number 5

This 47-yard catch and run by Rashee Rice helped the Chiefs finish off an 11-point comeback in the fourth quarter, plus overtime. At the time of this game, the Chiefs were 6-5 and had been mostly flummoxed all game long. To keep their playoff hopes alive, they needed to come away with this game. Late in the fourth quarter and overtime, the Patrick Mahomes to Rashee Rice connection took over, and nothing exemplified that more than this big gain.
