The on-field trash talk alone. 'great coverage Mr. #32 in the league. When you all plan on competing again?'

There's zero chance that the Chiefs are viewing this as a no-care year. Zero chance. Even if Mahomes is a world-beater (and he is), he'll be ascending over a period of years. The Chiefs won a playoff game in 2015 and only lost when they had to face the Patriots with half their roster out. In 2016 they beat the Steelers before the league intervened in the decision. The Patriots and Broncos are out of the picture this year, so this is the year that a team like the Chiefs could actually win. They should be going all out this year because the forces are aligning to make it a year where the best team can actually win.
