The Kansas City Chiefs give Call of Duty some credit for helping them reach the Super Bowl. The Kansas City Chiefs are an incredibly successful team and have dominated in recent years. While they have their haters just like any other team, they’ve made it to the Super Bowl three times in the last four years. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes was also credited with breaking the “Madden Curse”, a stigma that Madden cover athletes have terrible seasons after being put on the cover. He won his first Super Bowl the same year he graced the cover of Madden. The Chiefs return to the Super Bowl this year and apparently a video game could be the key to success.

Speaking to the press, Kansas City Chiefs player JuJu Smith-Schuster credited Call of Duty for the team’s success in securing a spot in the Super Bowl. The wide receiver noted that he, Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Marquez Valdes-Scantling have all invested many hours in Call of Duty and have mastered their communication skills. At this point, it remains to be seen if this will lead to a Super Bowl victory, but communication and team chemistry are everything in sports.

“I’ve spent a lot of Call of Duty hours with Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and MVS, baby,” said Smith-Schuster. “Lots of COD hours. We fall back, communication is on point.’

So, the next time your parents tell you that gaming is bad for you or whatever, just tell them it could potentially lead to you winning the Super Bowl (don’t actually say this to your parents). Mahomes, Smith-Schuster, Kelce and MVS will invest a lot of time in Call of Duty after the Big Game anyway. Infinity Ward launches the second season of Modern warfare 2 And War zone 2 on February 15 and is expected to feature a number of new modes, maps, and gameplay changes for players to enjoy.

Do you think you and your Call of Duty team have the communication skills to translate your in-game success into real life? Let me know in the comments or give me a call Twitter @Cade_Onder.
