Patrick Mahomes is a different competitive species. This is a quarterback who hears management secured him a left tackle and — re-fueled with adrenaline — immediately chips a shot out of the 16th-hole bunker at Augusta within six feet of the cup. There’s plenty of magic to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Now, the best player in the sport tries to make history.

No team in the Super Bowl Era has strung together three straight Super Bowl wins.

Here at Go Long, the great Michael MacCambridge delivered a three-part series detailing the Chiefs’ mountainous challenge ahead. MacCambridge, author of the timeless “America’s Game,” analyzed the eight teams that won back-to-back Super Bowls — with a sharp look ahead to the 2024 Chiefs.

So, let’s continue the conversation here on the podcast.

MacCambridge joins me to discuss his series, which of those eight teams were most fascinating and whether or not the Chiefs can complete the three-peat. As he says, “this is the most competitive era in the history of the NFL.” (Especially in the AFC.)

In the spirit of our division-by-division preview podcasts, we also touch on those Los Angeles Chargers. Jim Harbaugh’s schedule is set up to realistically win 10 or 11 games this season.

You can catch audio and video of this episode above, as well as Apple, Spotify and our Go Long TD YouTube channel.

Turnarounds don’t always slap us in the face. The Giants are hoping a more holistic, Detroit Lions-like reconstruction pays off.
