At the beginning of last season, some still doubted that the Chiefs were a dynasty because they had not yet won a second consecutive title.
They ended that debate with a road win in the playoffs before coming back from a deficit in Las Vegas to beat the 49ers.
They have reached four of the last five Super Bowls, winning three, but most importantly, last season they became the first team to win back-to-back titles since the New England Patriots in 2003 and 2004.
Now the Chiefs and quarterback Mahomes can go one better with a three-game Super Bowl win in a row, something no other NFL team has ever achieved before – not even the Patriots with Tom Brady.
In the NFL’s 104-year history, the Green Bay Packers won three consecutive titles from 1929 to 1931 and from 1965 to 1967, but only the last two of those titles came in the Super Bowl era.
This makes them one of eight teams to win the Super Bowl two times in a row, with three of them making it to the conference championship game the following season: the Pittsburgh Steelers (1976), the 49ers (1990) and the Dallas Cowboys (1996).
“I mean, there’s a reason nobody has done this before,” said Brady, who makes his NFL commentator debut Sunday when Cleveland hosts Dallas.
“I’m not saying it’s not possible. It’s certainly possible. And the Chiefs have a great opportunity to do it. They have a lot of great assets.”
