The Kansas City Chiefs are weeks away from opening training camp in preparation for the 2024 season. Expectations and stakes are high as they have a rare shot at making NFL history.
Chiefs Wire’s Ed Easton Jr. spoke to Ryan Fitzpatrick about his thoughts on Kansas City’s chances of completing the three-peat and his assessment of this year’s American Century Championship, which will be held Friday through Sunday, July 12-14.
“I would say there are probably four different tiers of golfers,” Fitzpatrick explained. “There are ten guys that can win it every year. There are ten guys that are competitive every year. And then there are two tiers in between. Some guys are pretty good golfers but don’t have a chance at winning.
“I’m in that third tier of my game, which is very temperamental, so depending on the day of a year or two, you’ll definitely see some double bogeys, but it is a lot. When guys go out there to play for the first time, they have to learn, just to keep the proper perspective, because we’re not all professional golfers, but it’s great interacting with the fans and having fun out there.”
The Chiefs had many doubters during last year’s troubles on offense but still managed to win a third Super Bowl in five years. The prospect of winning three Super Bowls in a row is the burning question everyone has an opinion on, including Fitzpatrick.
“I think it will be extremely difficult, but I doubted Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes last year, so I learned my lesson,” Fitzpatrick said. “I will never doubt those two. It was amazing that they were able to pull off what they did last year to win the Super Bowl. I wouldn’t have them as the favorites, but I can’t doubt them because they’ve already made me eat crow once.”
“Did you guys forget about @PatrickMahomes?”
Ryan Fitzpatrick and @TonyGonzalez88 still view the Chiefs as the top dogs in the AFC West.
