Tom Brady casts doubt over the Chiefs’ three-peat chances as he explains ‘big challenge’ for Super Bowl winners
The Kansas City Chiefs are already in rare territory by repeating as Super Bowl champions, but Tom Brady doesn’t seem convinced they can achieve the NFL’s first three-peat.
Speaking ‘The Herd’ with Colin CowherdBrady explained that the “margin of error is razor thin” for Kansas City, which will play an “aggressive” schedule in the eyes of star tight end Travis Kelce.
“To put three together, in back-to-back seasons, drafting last, a really tough schedule, all the turnover in free agency and guys staying motivated, it’s a big challenge,” Brady said. said Monday.
‘The chance of that happening is not fifty percent. They are much less than that. Those players are going to show up every day, they’re going to have to do their job the way they’ve been doing.
“That doesn’t mean the Chiefs couldn’t make that happen. Believe me, everyone would probably consider them one of the long-shot favorites to do it.”

Of course, the Chiefs are led by Patrick Mahomes, the league’s best passer, and by head coach Andy Reid, as Brady said, an extremely smart offensive mind.
Chris Jones is also one of the best defensive players in the league, while newly appointed Marquise “Hollywood” Brown gives Mahomes another fearsome weapon to work with.
Still, Brady said, achieving a three-peat is a “momentous task.”
After their second straight Super Bowl victory, the Chiefs were given an early bye in the 2024 season as they play just five games before taking a break in Week 6.
Afterwards, Kansas City ended their season by playing three games in ten days.
“It gets a little aggressive at the end,” Kelce recently said of his Podcast ‘New Heights’ with his brother Jason. “…That’s a great way to wrap things up [regular] season.’

The Chiefs certainly don’t have an easy schedule, but the stats say they’re around the middle of the pack.
According to Sharp football analysisKansas City has the 12th toughest schedule based on Vegas’ projected win totals.
The Chiefs’ season begins with a rematch of the AFC Championship Game vs. the Ravens from last season, while they will also face the Bengals, Bills, Browns, Texans and 49ers – the latter being a Super Bowl LVIII rematch.
Nevertheless, Kelce is apparently looking forward to the challenge of achieving a three-peat.
“I’m excited man,” he told his brother Jason. ‘I get to play a lot for the whole world and besides, we got the first two games this season [that] Are [against] two of the biggest teams in the NFL. And that’s exciting to get excited early on.”
