The Kansas City Chiefs will look to become the first time in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls as they approach the playoffs in first place in the AFC.
The Chiefs are 11-1, but they've struggled with inconsistency on both offense and defense, especially in recent weeks. Kansas City's last three wins came by a combined seven points.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes gave an honest take on the Chiefs' struggles in a recent press conference.
"Every team I've been on, I feel like, has been a championship team," Mahomes said. "There have been plays here or there [where] we have either lost in overtime of the AFC Championship Game or lost in the Super Bowl. But I feel like we have the talent and we have the coaching staff and we have the work ethic to go out there and win any football game. It's about going out there and doing that on a week-to-week, day-to-day basis.
"I've never had a team that I didn't believe could win the Super Bowl, and so I don't know what I would be doing and how I would be acting if we weren't going to the playoffs," continued Mahomes.
"My goal at the end of the year is to win the Super Bowl, and nothing else matters."
The Chiefs will have the chance to improve their lead in the AFC West before a challenging final regular-season stretch on Sunday night when they host the Los Angeles Chargers.
