Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs are looking to do something no other NFL team has done before: win three Super Bowls in a row.
So far, the goal looks within reach: the Chiefs hold the best record in the 2024 regular season (15-1) and they have already clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
Kansas City became the eighth team in NFL’s history to ever get 15 wins in the regular season, joining the 2015 Carolina Panthers (15-1), 2011 Green Bay Packers (15-1), 2007 New England Patriots (16-0), 2004 Pittsburgh Steelers (15-1), 1998 Minnesota Vikings (15-1), 1985 Chicago Bears (15-1) and 1984 San Francisco 49ers (15-1).
Terry Bradshaw doesn’t think the Chiefs are gonna 3-peat
Terry Bradshaw,NFL Hall of Famer and four-time Super Bowl winning quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, is widely acknowledged as a preeminent NFL studio personality, serving as a co-host and analyst on Fox NFL Sunday.
On the latest episode of the famous show, Bradshaw showed his skepticism about the Kansas City Chiefs’ chances of getting to Super Bowl LIX (February the 9th, 2025 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana) and even more of the possibility that they can win the game.
“They are not going to win three in a row.” said the NFL legend when asked if the Chiefs are his favorite team in the AFC. His response stir the pot within his co-hosts. “Why am I upsetting everybody? It’s never been done, that’s one of the reasons. The other one is the fact of how quickly they get rid of the ball now, quick, quick, quick.” Terry added.
He went on to say that if the Chiefs get to face a team like the Buffalo Bills or the Baltimore Ravens, they could get beat “and I think that’s what’s going to happen, I think one of those teams are gonna take them down even though the game would be in Kansas City.
Kansas City owns the top seed in the AFC playoff picture
The Chiefs clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoff picture on Wednesday, doing so for the fourth time under quarterback Patrick Mahomes.Kansas City also clinched the top seed in the AFC in 2018, 2020 and 2022.
Securing the No. 1 seed means that Kansas City will receive a first-round bye in the postseason, setting up a matchup against the lowest remaining seed in the AFC field at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in the Divisional Round.
The top seed also guarantees homefield advantage throughout the playoffs, so if the Chiefs win their Divisional Round contest, the AFC Championship Game would take place in Kansas City.
The Chiefs still have plenty of work to do, but the back-to-back defending Super Bowl champions have certainly set themselves up nicely for a run at history.
