Intangible factors also have an impact

As the Chiefs aim for an unprecedented championship three-peat in the Super Bowl era, they remain one of the NFL’s most captivating teams. Meanwhile, the survey found that the Carolina Panthers’ fans are the unhappiest.

Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs’ star quarterback, is a major reason for the fan base’s optimism. At just 28, Mahomes has already racked up three Super Bowl victories, three Super Bowl MVPs, two NFL MVPs, and three All-Pro nods.

His primary target, tight end Travis Kelce, is not only a nine-time Pro Bowler and a seven-time All-Pro but also in the spotlight due to his high-profile relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift.

Chiefs fans will most likely continue to be the happiest

This offseason, the Chiefs bolstered their vertical passing game by adding veteran receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown and rookie speedster Xavier Worthy. Since 2018, only the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers have also played in multiple Super Bowls, with the Rams winning one out of two and the 49ers losing both times to the Mahomes and Kelce-led Chiefs.

With Kelce’s connection to one of the world’s most beloved singers and a roster brimming with talent, it seems the Chiefs have it all. No NFL fan base has experienced such sustained joy since the New England Patriots’ last dynastic run.
