This season, the Kansas City Chiefs will be looking to do something that no team in the history of the league has ever done before – win a third consecutive Super Bowl title. And it sounds like the team is going to try to lean on its veteran leadership as it attempts to win another title.
During a recent press conference, Andy Reid had a pretty clear message to his team about just how important veteran leaders are as the team looks to win yet another Super Bowl this season.
“[Our leaders are] great with it. That’s what I was saying before we had the break,” Reid said on Tuesday according to Pro Football Talk. “I appreciate that leadership — Chris Jones, Bolton, these guys that have been around here, they do a nice job with it. When players start helping players out and helping them understand what’s going on, normally you have a pretty good thing going. And these guys, we’re lucky to have that leadership.
“They go 100 miles an hour and they make everyone around them go 100 miles an hour. So, all the coaches are kicking ‘em a little bit, the players are kicking ‘em, and that peer pressure — there’s nothing like that.”
Obviously, winning a third consecutive Super Bowl will be no easy task. We’ll have to see if the veteran players can lead the way and help the team make history.
