As the anticipation for the upcoming NFL season builds, fans and analysts are speculating about the big game already. And as the Kansas City Chiefs are working their heart out, the NFL community is watching them keenly. Among those closely monitoring their journey to the historic three-peat is Greg Olsen, who had the privilege of calling the Chiefs’ last two Super Bowl appearances.

Greg Olsen, who has held the microphone at Super Bowls LVII and LVIII with the Chiefs in action, is rather excited. His experience caused him to marvel at the brilliance of the Chiefs’ quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. He remembers how most media houses thought the Chiefs had nothing left halfway down the season. But they never left hope, and their fortitude was indeed rewarded, said Olsen on ‘The Rich Eisen Show‘.
“We had the pleasure of calling a bunch of their games over the last couple of years, and you know, halfway through the season last year, the media narrative was they’re done.”
Olsen’s insights shed light on the unique challenges that the Chiefs face as they set their sights on a historic three-peat. While external factors such as roster changes and opponent matchups certainly play a role, Olsen believes that the biggest obstacle lies within the team itself:
“As long as their best players are heavily engaged, which they show no signs of not continuing to be, they can weather the ups and downs,” Olsen explained. “They have things that everyone else doesn’t have.”
Indeed, the Chiefs’ success is based on the remarkable stability and consistency of their core members, including head coach Andy Reid, quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and tight end Travis Kelce. And as Greg Olsen said- ‘AFC goes through Kansas City’. With Mahomes at their helm, the Chiefs are preparing to overcome all obstacles that stand in their way.

The Kansas City Chiefs have been making headlines throughout the offseason, as they dealt with various off-field issues involving key players taking center stage. Head coach Andy Reid addressed these matters head-on, emphasizing the importance of accountability and personal growth among his players.
One of the more concerning incidents involved second-year receiver Rashee Rice, who faces charges of aggravated assault following a high-speed crash in Dallas that involved several vehicles. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes has maintained a high profile embracing his love for multiple sports. Patrick Mahomes was captured working out and bonding with the Chiefs’ newest addition, Marquise Hollywood Brown.

Away from the duo, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce made headlines for grabbing a record-high contract with the team. The NFL also posted a video of the tight end enjoying his practice session at a car park. In a twist that hit the Chiefs fans quite hard, kicker Harrison Butker stirred controversy with his commencement speech at Benedictine College. The Chiefs’ offseason shuffles were also quite the topic of intrigue for the onlookers.
Summing it up, as the Chiefs gear up for the 2024 season, the off-field readiness and challenges are undoubtedly testing their resolve. Yet, with Mahomes at the helm, a prepared core, better-prepared defense for a deep ball game, and Reid’s leadership, the team remains focused on overcoming distractions and pursuing their three-peat goal.
