Terry Bradshaw brutally dismissed Chiefs three-peat hopes live on FOX NFL Sunday

Terry Bradshaw doesn’t believe that postseason history will be made this year as he previously shot down the Kansas City Chiefs’ hopes of accomplishing a Super Bowl three-peat.

On Saturday, star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and company will face off against C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans in the Divisional Round. With a win over Houston and subsequent victory over either the Baltimore Ravens or Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship game, Kansas City would punch its ticket to a third-consecutive Super Bowl.

Unfortunately for the Chiefs, Bradshaw isn’t expecting them to get that far. While making an appearance on ‘ FOX NFL Sunday ’ last December, he voiced little belief in Kansas City’s playoff chances.

“Are the Chiefs your number one team in the AFC right now?” Charissa Thompson asked Bradshaw, who promptly replied: “They’re not going to win three in a row, but …”

Upon being reminded by Peter Schrager that no NFL team has ever managed to accomplish the feat, Bradshaw added: “That’s one of the reasons. The other reason is, I just think – you see how quick they get rid of the ball now, you see how quick, quick, quick, quick, quick?

“I just think they’re going to load up against a team like Buffalo, they’re going to load up against a team like Baltimore – those are the two teams that could beat them, and I think it’s going to happen, even though it would be in Kansas City.”

Bradshaw’s criticism of the Chiefs came as somewhat of a surprise, considering he dubbed them a heavy favorite to win Super Bowl LIX just one month prior. Discussing Kansas City’s narrow 30-27 win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 12, the 76-year-old said at the time: “How long do they continue doing this and winning [like] this, and will it finally let them down when it counts most? I doubt it.

“I just don’t think that’s going to happen. This football team knows how to win.”

Mahomes, for one, expressed utmost confidence that the Chiefs could win a third-straight Super Bowl not long after securing the second. On the heels of Kansas City’s 25-22 overtime win against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII, he told teammates and coaches while still celebrating on the field: “Hey, we’re not done dawg. I want three, no one’s ever got three … I want back-to-back-to-back.”

Speaking to reporters during a postgame press conference, Mahomes expressed a similar sentiment, adding: “It [would be] legendary. No one’s ever done it, and we knew it’s legendary to win back-to-back.

“I think eight other teams have done it. We had heard it all week. We had talked to the guys [who had gone back-to-back] about it, and we felt like we had the best opportunity that we had ever had to go out there and do that.

“We’ve got to continue to play our best football. We’ll celebrate these next few weeks, and then we’ll get right back at it.”
