Tom Brady achieved nearly everything imaginable in his NFL career, winning seven Super Bowl titles, three league MVPs and quarterbacking a team to an undefeated regular season.
But there’s one thing he didn’t do that one of the top challengers to his status as the most accomplished quarterback in NFL history has a chance to accomplish in 2024: three-peat. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are looking to become the first team in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a row after becoming the first team since Brady’s 2003-04 New England Patriots to repeat.
In 2005, Brady’s Patriots fell a couple of rounds short of a three-peat attempt, losing to the Denver Broncos in the divisional round. And while the Patriots made it to three straight Super Bowls between 2016-18, they lost the middle one, thwarting their chance to repeat much less three-peat.
In an interview with FS1’s “The Herd” on Monday, Brady explained the difficulties of winning just one Super Bowl and how it relates to the Chiefs’ chances of winning a third straight title.
“Even when you look at the way the Chiefs won the Super Bowl last year against the 49ers, it was an incredible comeback, so to speak. They played really well at the end and the margin of error was razor-thin,” Brady said. “That’s the way it’s going to be this year as well. It’s very rare. I played on an undefeated team. We were one of the best teams, I think, in the history of football in 2007. We go to the Super Bowl. We played less than our best game. The Giants played an awesome game and they ended up beating us. All of these teams in the NFL are very competitive, they’re all well-coached. The margin for error is razor-thin.
“So, to win one Super Bowl is extremely difficult. To win two back-to-back, what the Chiefs have done, as we know in the history of the sport, is nearly impossible. To win three in a row, there’s a reason why no one’s done it.”
