Chiefs players are already focused on 2022 season and getting back to the Super Bowl

The Super Bowl LVI celebration in the Rams organization will last for at least a little while, but elsewhere around the league the focus is already on the 2022 season and winning Super Bowl LVII.

Caesers Sportsbook has the Chiefs as the favorites to win next year’s Super Bowl, while Bet MGM lists the Chiefs and Buffalo Bills as tied for the best odds to be the champions.

One Chiefs player shared a message on Twitter saying the Chiefs would be at Super Bowl LVII, which will be played at State Farm Stadium* in Glendale, Arizona.

Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones wrote in a Twitter message: “we will be in it next year.”

While Jones had once predicted the Chiefs would win Super Bowl LIV (which they did), his teammate offered a slight amendment to Jones tweet. Linebacker Willie Gay said get back and win it.

Other Chiefs shared messages on Twitter about starting the journey toward a third Super Bowl appearance in four seasons.

Mahomes seems to be focused on a return to the Super Bowl.

Safety Juan Thornhill was ready to get to work, too.

Wide receiver Demarcus Robinson tweeted a two-word message with an emoji.
