My reply: The prospect of the primary repeat Tremendous Bowl title since 2004
Earlier than the gamers left Arrowhead Stadium final week for his or her break, quarterback Patrick Mahomes stated he spoke to the teammates relating to the pause in organized actions.
“I simply advised the blokes on the market proper now, ‘Take pleasure in this break,’” stated Mahomes. “We’ve obtained a brief break. We’re again in a few weeks, so I advised them to take pleasure in it however have your self able to go. I advised the blokes which can be going to be on the ceremony [Thursday night], ‘That is it. You’re celebrating, get your ring.’ Despite the fact that we’ve been working this whole time, you have got behind your thoughts, we’re getting our rings, we’re Tremendous Bowl champs. However now, it restarts.
“That’s how the NFL is. It’s time to maneuver on. You’re going to coaching camp subsequent, and also you need to repeat. Nobody’s it since 2003-04 with the Patriots, so you understand how exhausting it’s to do. We had an opportunity a few years in the past, and it didn’t go our approach. So, how can we be higher from that and have an opportunity to go up in opposition to this AFC that’s obtained plenty of nice quarterbacks and nice groups?
“With a view to repeat, we’ve obtained to begin with Day 1, and that’s taking good care of ourselves in the course of the break and getting ourselves prepared for coaching camp.”
It’s the good mentality to have for what the Chiefs are attempting to perform.
Followers of the Chiefs for a very long time perceive how tough it’s to easily make the playoffs, not to mention have a possibility to play in a Tremendous Bowl or win one. The Chiefs have now received two titles in 4 years, however what has eluded them on this historic run is a repeat title.
A repeat title has solely occurred within the NFL eight occasions, and it’s solely occurred for seven groups and fan bases: the Inexperienced Bay Packers, the Miami Dolphins, the Pittsburgh Steelers (twice), the San Francisco 49ers, the Dallas Cowboys, the Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots.
No franchise has received three titles in a row. Maybe that may be a dialogue level for subsequent 12 months.
Alright. Your flip… What excites you most in regards to the 2023 Kansas Metropolis Chiefs?
