Terry Bradshaw has made a shock prediction that the Kansas City Chiefs will not win the Super Bowl this season.
Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and their teammates are hoping to become the first team in NFL history to win a third-straight Super Bowl.
They’ve already secured the No. 1 seed in the AFC thanks to their Christmas Day win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, guaranteeing them a bye in the first round of the playoffs and homefield advantage.
Despite that, Bradshaw is adamant that Andy Reid’s team will not be victorious in New Orleans on February 9.
Speaking on Fox on Sunday, the four-time Super Bowl winner and Pittsburgh Steelers legend said: ‘They’re not going to win three in a row.
‘I just think they’re going to load up against a team like Buffalo; they’re going to load up against a team like Baltimore.

‘Those are the two teams that can beat them. I think it’s going to happen.’
While some fans are hopeful that the Ravens or Bills can end the Chiefs’ dominance, many disagreed with Bradshaw on social media.
A Chiefs fan wrote: ‘He said the exact same thing last year that we wouldn’t go back to back, and then look what happened.’
Another commented: ‘Why are they forgetting the Chiefs have beaten the Ravens this season? Maybe Terry is going a bit senile.’
‘Doubting Mahomes is a crazy thing to do,’ commented a third.
‘Not a Chiefs fan but Terry needs to go. Jesus is he terrible,’ a fourth fan posted.
One staunch Chiefs advocate posted: ‘Terry Bradshaw you are wrong the Chiefs offense is clicking at the right team and defense is great.’
Mocking Bradshaw’s affiliation with the Steelers, a viewer posted: ‘Someone still not over that Christmas Day game’ with a laughing emoji.
The 15-1 Chiefs face the Denver Broncos in their regular-season finale next weekend, which will be at least 10 days after their 29-10 win in Pittsburgh, a nice rest for a weary team whose bye was back in Week 6.
But with nothing to play for in that game, Reid could conceivably give some of his most important players the entire week off ahead of the playoffs.
And now that the Chiefs have a first-round bye, that means they wouldn’t face anybody until at least January 18 in the divisional round, meaning a full 24 days between games.
‘It’s been almost 10 weeks of football, grinding on this short schedule at the very end of the year,’ quarterback Mahomes said.
‘We’ll see how Week 18 goes – who plays, who doesn’t play. That’s up to Coach. But having this break, getting healthy, getting ourselves ready for the playoffs, it was super important, especially with the guys we have banged up.’
