Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs are pursuing a historic three-peat this upcoming season.
The All-Pro tight end recently received a word of caution from a Hall of Famer whose team narrowly missed achieving the same feat decades ago.
Dallas Cowboys legend Michael Irvin, a three-time Super Bowl champion, appeared on Monday’s episode of “The Jim Rome Show.” When asked if he believed the Chiefs could secure their third consecutive Super Bowl win, Irvin chose to share a story instead of giving a direct answer. He recounted a recent conversation with Kelce during a chance encounter at a Dallas Mavericks game.
“I spent some time with him,” Irvin said. “He grabbed me and hugged me real tight and said, ‘Michael, tell me about that three-peat chase.’”
Irvin then shared his response to Kelce. “I’mma tell you what I told him. I said, ‘Every day, man. Every day. When I put my head to pillow at night and when I wake up and put toothbrush to tooth in the morning, I think about that one that got away. I think about that ’94 championship game. … I said to him, ‘Whatever you do, do all you can to make that happen. … I’m telling you, if you leave anything on the table and you don’t get it, you will think about it for the rest of your life like I do.’”

Irvin’s Cowboys clinched three Super Bowls in four seasons from 1992 to 1995. However, they fell just two wins short of a three-peat during the 1994 playoffs, losing 38-28 to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game.
Kelce has become one of the NFL’s most high-profile players, and it’s evident that the Chiefs star is wholly dedicated to achieving a three-peat.
His focus and determination are clear as he heeds Irvin’s advice, aiming to leave nothing on the table in his pursuit of this historic accomplishment.
