‘FOX NFL Sunday’ co-hosts Michael Strahan and Terry Bradshaw are at odds over whether or not the Kansas City Chiefs can accomplish the historic Super Bowl three-peat.

On Sunday, the Chiefs secured yet another nail-biting victory in a season rife with them – narrowly defeating the Carolina Panthers, 30-27, on a game-winning field goal with time expiring. The contest marked Kansas City’s fifth walk-off and eighth one-score win this year – tying an NFL record for the most by a team through the first 11 games of a season.

Discussing the outcome of the game on air, Bradshaw admitted that he was quite surprised by how close the final score ended up being. “I was shocked by that score,” he began. “Carolina, ever since they brought Bryce Young … back to starting he has played outstanding. He was outstanding today against Kansas City.

“They had this game tied up at 27, but once again, with three touchdown passes you knew Mahomes was going to bring them back, and that’s exactly what he did.”

Despite the fact that the Chiefs only managed to squeak out a win rather than blowing out the 3-8 Panthers, Bradshaw asserted that Kansas City still remains a heavy favorite to win Super Bowl LIX. “How long do they continue doing this and winning [like] this, and will it finally let them down when it counts most? I doubt it. I just don’t think that’s going to happen. This football team knows how to win,” he said.

Yet Strahan pushed back on Bradshaw’s assertion, speculating that the way in which Kansas City has won this year might take a toll on the Chiefs down the stretch. “You can know how to win, but you can’t keep squeaking by week after week. I think it wears the players down,” Strahan argued.

Bradshaw conceded that the Panthers game was a classic trap game for the Chiefs, adding: “But when you play Carolina, you cannot tell me that Kansas City didn’t look at Carolina on the schedule and go, ‘Mhm, Carolina really?’” Yet Strahan clapped back, “But they’ve been looking at every team like that, they’ve been squeaking by every team this way.”

Although the Chiefs actively boast the best record in the NFL at 10-1, quarterback Patrick Mahomes admitted that he’d like to see Kansas City start winning games by a more comfortable margin. “You want to have some blowouts,” he told reporters following Sunday’s win.

“You want be a little calmer in the fourth quarter. I’ve always said it can be a good thing as you get to the playoffs and later in the season, just knowing that you’ve been in those moments before and knowing how to kind of attack it. But I would love to win a game [before] the very last play.”
