The Kansas City Chiefs are already in unusual territory by repeating as Super Bowl champions, but Tom Brady doesn’t seem convinced they can achieve the NFL’s first three-peat.
speaking in ‘The Pack’ with Colin CowherdBrady explained that the “margin for error is very fine” for Kansas City, which will play an “aggressive” schedule in the eyes of star tight end Travis Kelce.
“To put three of them together, in back-to-back seasons, with the draft last, a very difficult schedule, all the changes in free agency and guys still motivated, it’s a big challenge,” Brady said. he said on Monday.
‘There’s not a 50 percent chance of that happening. They are much less than that. Those players will show up every day and have to work hard like they have.
‘That’s not to say the Chiefs couldn’t accomplish that. Believe me, everyone would probably put you as one of the favorites to do it.’
Tom Brady said the Chiefs have a “very narrow” margin for error in their quest for third title
Of course, the Chiefs are led by the best passer in the league, Patrick Mahomes, and an extremely smart offensive mind, head coach Andy Reid, as Brady mentioned.
Chris Jones is also one of the league’s top defensive players, while newly signed Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown gives Mahomes another terrifying weapon to work with.
Still, Brady said, it’s a “momentous task” to achieve a hat trick.
Following their second straight Super Bowl victory, the Chiefs earned an early bye in the 2024 season, as they will only play five games before taking a bye in Week 6.
Then Kansas City finished its season by playing three games in 10 days.
“At the end it gets a little aggressive,” Kelce said recently in his ‘New Heights’ Podcast with his brother Jason. “…That’s a great way to end the (regular) season.”
The Chiefs are led by Patrick Mahomes, who is widely viewed as the best quarterback in the game.
Travis Kelce is seen raising the Lombardi Trophy after the Chiefs won Super Bowl LVIII.
The Chiefs certainly don’t have an easy schedule, but the stats say they’re roughly in the middle of the pack.
According Crisp football analysisKansas City has the 12th toughest schedule based on Las Vegas’ predicted win totals.
The Chiefs’ season will begin with a rematch of last season’s AFC Championship Game against the Ravens, while they will also face the Bengals, Bills, Browns, Texans and 49ers, the latter being a rematch of Super Bowl LVIII .
However, Kelce is apparently looking forward to the challenge of achieving a hat trick.
“I’m excited, man,” he told his brother Jason. “I get to play a lot in front of the whole world and on top of that, we have the first two games of this season (which) are (against) two of the biggest teams in the NFL. And it’s exciting to get pumped up from the beginning.”
