Bill Belichick explains why Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs' season will be a "tough" one to get through
The Kansas City Chiefs, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid, have won back-to-back Super Bowls in the last two seasons. The Chiefs will look to become the first team in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a row this season.
With Kansas City being a contender again this year, former NFL head coach Bill Belichick joined The Pat McAfee Show on Monday and said it's going to be tough for them to three-peat this year:
"I thought offensively, it looks like it's just going to be an effort to get, get the young guys' timing with Pat (Mahomes) so they're ready to go, and ready to go early against Baltimore, the big opener. I think the bigger issues are going to be on defense ... they couldn't turn the ball over.
"But overall as a team, run defense, turnovers, I think that's an area that they're going to want to improve in and I just think it's going to be tough this year. They're a good team, don't get me wrong. I just think this third year for it all to fall into place, three years in a row is tough. I think if anybody can do it, it's probably Kansas City. But it won't be easy."
