Travis Kelce sharply answers questions about Chiefs locker room ahead of playoff showdown with Texans

The Kansas City Chiefs have the ability to do something no team has ever done before: not the Dallas Cowboys, not the Pittsburgh Steelers, not even the New England Patriots: win three straight Super Bowls. .

These four teams, alongside the Green Bay Packers, San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos, experience a special victory by winning the Lombardi Trophy for the second consecutive season.

However, no one has ever won the title three times in a row. The Chiefs will likely reach the top of the NFL again as the AFC’s No. 1 seed.

Kansas City is trying to do something no one has ever done before, so it’s no wonder they are determined to achieve this goal.

Apparently not – at least according to one team leader, tight end Travis Kelce.

Kelce said the team is very focused on the task at hand, which will be played Saturday at home against the Houston Texans in the AFC Divisional Round.

“I’ve never heard anyone talk about a triple or anything like that,” Kelce told Chris Berman during an interview with ESPN.

“We are currently watching the Houston Texans. Anyone can lose in the playoffs if they don’t have the right mentality, the right mindset. »

The team’s current mindset is focused on the next game, but Mahomes and the Chiefs are at least discussing the possibility of a three-peat.

“It’s going to be legendary,” quarterback Patrick Mahomes said of the triple last February, via Adam Teicher of ESPN.

“No one had ever done it before and we knew it would be legendary to win back-to-back titles. I think eight other teams have done it.

“We heard it all week. We talked about it with the players (who continued to play) and we felt we had the best opportunity ever to go out there and do it. Your. »

Kansas City is 15-2 in the regular season, has home-field advantage in the playoffs and is certainly poised for a three-peat, but history is not on their side.

Of the eight teams that have attempted a three-peat so far (Pittsburgh has attempted twice), none have ever actually won the big game or even reached the Super Bowl three years in a row.

In fact, three of those eight missed the playoffs entirely.

Two of those teams, the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots, were eliminated in the divisional round, where the Chiefs will play this weekend.

Only three teams competing for a three-peat have advanced to the conference championship game. All of these teams, including Pittsburgh (for the first time), San Francisco, and Dallas, lost to the eventual Super Bowl champions (Oakland Raiders, New York Giants, and San Francisco 49ers, respectively).

If Kansas City does as expected, it will face the winner of the Buffalo Bills-Baltimore Ravens game in the AFC title game.

These two teams have recent history. The Chiefs beat the Ravens by a single point in the NFL season opener at home. Later in the season, they lost to the Bills on the road by nine points.

Both teams are looking for revenge in the playoffs. Last year, the Chiefs beat the Bills and Ravens to reach the Super Bowl. Kansas City beat Buffalo by three points in the regional round, then beat the Ravens by a touchdown in Baltimore.
