The offseason is almost over, with training camps set to open around the league next month. The Kansas City Chiefs will have a target on their backs as they attempt to achieve something unprecedented in the league’s history.
Hall of Famer Howie Long recently appeared as a guest on Yote House Media’s “Green Light with Chris Long” podcast. He discussed his thoughts on the Chiefs pursuing a three-peat this season with his son.
“What’s unique about three is nobody has ever done it, and I think when you add that to the equation for guys that are aware, you know this is historic stuff…Now you gotta be healthy, you gotta stay smart.” said Long. “last year, we saw them out of the gate, and they looked lost. Dropped balls, the offense was erratic, the defense was actually carrying them, and then they kind of figured it out. I can’t really emphasize how great Andy Reid is as a coach, and you know your guys on defense, Coach Spags (Spagnuolo), is proved to be one of the greatest big game defensive coordinators in NFL history.”
Long was a longtime rival while playing with the Los Angeles Raiders and has been a respected analyst covering the NFL for FOX Sports. The team’s consistent growth during last year’s Super Bowl run, matched with off-season additions, could see the Chiefs making history next February.
