The Chiefs have successfully secured their spot in the playoffs with an impressive 15-1 record. Although they’ve locked in the first seed and have their eyes on the Lombardi Trophy, senior NFL analyst Terry Bradshaw has a different perspective. While Bradshaw hasn’t explicitly stated whether the Chiefs will win the Super Bowl, he made a bold statement supported by sound reasoning.
When asked, “Are the Chiefs your No. 1 team in the AFC?” the 76-year-old analyst replied, “They [the Chiefs] are not going to win three [games] in a row.” The Fox Sports analyst added, “Why am I upsetting everyone?” His statement shocked the rest of the panel. as Bradshaw further explained: “You have to get rid of the ball quickly now. I think they (the Chiefs) are gonna struggle against teams like Buffalo and Baltimore. I think one of them is gonna take the Chiefs.”
“They’re not going to win three in a row.”

Terry Bradshaw’s hot take on the Chiefs? Yeah, it’s pretty wild, especially considering how good they’ve been lately. The Chiefs are on a roll, winning six games straight since their loss to the Bills. Sure, Buffalo’s seen as a serious threat, but here’s the kicker: the Bills have never beaten the Chiefs in a playoff game. Crazy, right? Even Josh Allen knows it, saying, “I know we haven’t beat them in the playoffs. And that’s the only thing that kind of matters.” But hey, anything can happen in the postseason—it’s why we love it!
As for the Ravens, Bradshaw thinks they could take down the Chiefs too, but let’s be real—it’s not a slam dunk. The Chiefs and Ravens are tied 1-1 in playoff matchups, and Lamar Jackson’s record against Kansas City? A rough 1-5. That stat alone gives the Chiefs a pretty big edge.

Here’s a shocker: Patrick Mahomes isn’t playing against the Broncos this Sunday. Yep, you heard that right—Carson Wentz is stepping in as the starter. Some fans might not love it, but it’s all part of the plan. According to Fox Sports’ Peter Schrager, “Mahomes is not going to play next week. Carson Wentz is going to start. It’s going to be a different version of them, mostly backups. . . We’ll see how it goes, but Carson Wentz has played some good football in his career.”

Wentz, who’s got a Super Bowl ring from his time with the Eagles, is no stranger to the spotlight. This isn’t just any game either—it could shake up the playoff picture for other teams too. Fun fact: Wentz has only played two games this season (against the Browns and 49ers), and he nailed it with a 100% completion rate in both.

So, what’s the verdict on the Chiefs? Love them or doubt them, one thing’s for sure—they’re keeping things interesting. Bradshaw’s bold predictions, the looming challenges from the Bills and Ravens, and the surprising decision to bench Mahomes for Wentz make for a wild ride heading into the playoffs. Whether the Chiefs prove the doubters wrong or not, this postseason is shaping up to be one heck of a show. Buckle up, football fans—things are just getting started!
