No matter what happens in the big game, the Chiefs are already an NFL dynasty in the making, having reached the Super Bowl in five of the last six years. Mahomes has played in the AFC championship game or Super Bowl in every single season as starter, while coach Andy Reid continues to extend his sterling winning record.

Johnson kept it status quo on special teams, retaining Richard Hightower as special teams coordinator. Hightower has been with the Bears for the past three seasons and should bring an important level of continuity to what otherwise looks like a brand-new group of coaches.

The Dallas Cowboys are expected to hire former Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus as their new defensive coordinator, a league source told UPI on Monday.
