The Kansas City Chiefs are on a mission to achieve to win three consecutive Super Bowls. This ambitious goal has proven elusive even for the greatest NFL dynasties, such as the Dolphins of the 1970s, and the Patriots during their 20-year run. Despite these challenges, the Chiefs remain determined to make history.
The team, led by HC Andy Reid is working hard to reach this unparalleled achievement. On The Carton Show, the host, former Jets WR Plaxico Burress remains optimistic about the Chiefs’ chances. He believes that if any team can achieve a three-peat, it is the Kansas City Chiefs, primarily because of Mahomes.

First Carton mentioned an interesting theory about the Chiefs’ schedule. He suggested that the NFL might have been sensitive to Taylor Swift’s concert schedule when arranging the Chiefs’ games. Despite such distractions, Carton highlighted the numerous challenges the team has faced. He pointed out that no team has ever won three consecutive Super Bowls.
“There’ve been so many things that’ve happened to various guys on this team and those are the signs of a team that’s not going to three-peat.”

Replying to Craig, Plaxico said, “If there’s any team that can do it, it’s Kansas City. I’m not worried about Patrick Mahomes because he’s driven. I understand all those things that are going on outside for the Kansas City Chiefs off of the football field, but when they do line up and play the Baltimore Ravens on that first Thursday night game, they’ll be ready to play.” Burress’s confidence stems from his faith in Mahomes’ abilities and the team’s resilience.

As the Chiefs are aiming for something that no team has ever accomplished, this goal has captured the attention of many football fans and experts, including NFL legends Tom Brady and Michael Lombardi. Tom Brady recently shared his thoughts on the Chiefs’ chances during an episode of “The Herd.”
Brady and Lombardi doubt Chiefs’ ability
Brady acknowledged how difficult it is to win one Super Bowl, let alone two, and expressed doubts about winning three in a row. “Winning one Super Bowl is extremely difficult. Winning two back-to-back is nearly impossible. There’s a reason why no one’s won a third consecutive title in the history of the sport,” he said.

Michael Lombardi, a former Patriots staffer and football executive, echoed Brady’s concerns on his show “The Lombardi Line.” Lombardi listed several legendary QBs who couldn’t achieve a three-peat, including Bart Starr, John Elway, Tom Brady, and Troy Aikman. “All those quarterbacks won two in a row, and they couldn’t get to a three. It’s really hard,” he said. Michael also mentioned that the Chiefs had some lucky moments last season that helped them secure their second consecutive Super Bowl win. He suggested that relying on luck for a third win might be unrealistic.
Despite the challenges and doubts from experts, Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes remains confident. He believes in his ability to lead his team to another Super Bowl victory. Whether or not they succeed, the Chiefs’ pursuit of this historic goal will be a thrilling journey for football fans to watch.
