As soon as the Kansas City Chiefs went back-to-back in February, they had one number in mind: three.

Travis Kelce almost automatically shut down retirement rumors, saying he was coming back to win a third Super Bowl in a row, an unprecedented feat.

No, not even Tom Brady, who won seven of the 10 Super Bowls he played in, ever won three-straight. However, his New England Patriots were the last team to repeat before Kansas City did it (although, they did play in three consecutive from Super Bowls LI to LIII).

If Tom Brady can't even do it, he's skeptical whether anyone can.

"To put three of those together, in back-to-back-to-back seasons, with drafting last, a very hard schedule, all of the turnover in free agency and guys continuing to be motivated, it's a big challenge …" Brady said on Monday's "The Herd." "There's not a 50% chance of that happening. They're way less than that. Those players are going to show up every day, they're going to have to put in the work like they have."

However, he wouldn't exactly be surprised.

"That's not to say the Chiefs couldn't accomplish that. Believe me, everybody would probably put them as one of the odds-on favorites to do it …" he said.
