Thus, the goal for someone involved in that kind of run may look different than, say, a new general manager taking over a team. Just ask Veach, who joined ESPN’s Peter Schrager on “The Schrager Hour” this week at the NFL’s annual meeting in Phoenix.
“If I had one goal left in my career — and I’ve been very blessed, and it’s been an amazing run — if I had one dream, professional goal, it would be to make a Super Bowl and to enjoy it,” Veach said. “Man, I look at what the Eagles did to us, and (they) can celebrate in the fourth quarter.
“Can you imagine that feeling? Like, Seattle had it last year, I guess, and when the Eagles beat us — just being in that.”
In Super Bowl LIX, the Chiefs trailed the Philadelphia Eagles 40-6 with less than eight minutes left. In Super Bowl LX a month ago, the Seattle Seahawks led the New England Patriots with less than six minutes to play.
In each of Kansas City’s three recent Super Bowl wins (2019, 2022, 2023), it trailed by 10 points at some point. And all three came down to the wire.
