Show notes
Patrick Mahomes’ season is over, the Chiefs are eliminated, and reality has officially set in. On this episode of The Intangibles, Price Carter and Christian Ainsworth react to Mahomes’ torn ACL, debate what went wrong in 2025, and lay out what the Chiefs must do now — from embracing youth and draft positioning to hard decisions on Travis Kelce, veterans, and the future of the roster. This is the emotional, honest reset Chiefs fans didn’t want — but need.
