Greg Olsen believes the Kansas City Chiefs have a system in place which other teams in the AFC do not have.

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have made it abundantly clear that they want to contend for a 3rd straight Super Bowl. The Kansas City Chiefs and head coach Andy Reid, with their off-season work have confirmed that goal.

This is why Greg Olsen believes the core of those three are crucial. As a guest on the Rich Eisen Show, former tight end and FOX analyst Greg Olsen had a few things to say about the Chiefs’ chances of a 3-peat.

They have things that everyone else doesn't have. As long as Mahomes is there, as long Andy Reid is there, as long as Kelce is there. And as long as that defense stays young and active, and Spagnuolo is blitzing guys from all over the place. Come next in the AFC, doesn't matter who the fun team is. When it comes down, until proven otherwise, the AFC goes through Kansas City. It's gonna be that way, as long as all those guys are still wearing Chiefs uniforms and obviously still playing at a high level.

Greg Olsen said

Olsen summed it up by saying that the Kansas City Chiefs have a system in place to succeed. Something that has already brought them success in 3 Super Bowls.

He suggested that for a team to have long-term success needs stability at the two most important positions, head coach and quarterback. Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes being there for 7 years together helps the team focus on other aspects of the game.

To that when they extended Travis Kelce and Chris Jones, the core is set. Now the team can experiment with younger players in other positions and build from there. This blueprint will help them succeed in the NFL for years to come.

Patrick Mahomes has proven Greg Olsen’s theory over the years

When Patrick Mahomes first came into the league, Andy Reid was already the head coach. Travis Kelce was already their star tight end, and Tyreek Hill was their star receiver. So, the stage was set for him to flourish. In his first full season in 2018, Mahomes threw for 5000 yards. The following season he threw for only 4000, partly due to Hill missing time. But more crucially, he won his first Super Bowl.
