Amazing the Patriots never 3-peated. They were in the AFC Championship Game 8 years in a row (2011-2018 seasons) during the second half of their dynasty.
Ironically they came close in 2017 losing to Philly that would have been back to back then they won again the next year. A 3 peat would have been great but the 19-0 one is the one that still haunts me!
Those early 90s Cowboy & 49er games were something. The teams were stacked with stars all over the place. I recall one game where John Madden had a shot of the offense and defense lined up for a play, he basically ticked every name onscreen were all pro bowlers. This was also right in the middle of the NFC's dominance in the Super Bowl. At this period people said the real Super Bowl was the NFC Championship.

@@Shoelessjoe78 It would depend on what team they play for. Mahomes has the physical tools to succeed there and Brady's NFL career began in the early 2000s which wasn't that far off from the 1990s era so he can still have success as long the teams were at least decently run. Likely have a number in line with Jim Kelly's since Brady's numbers were in the same level outside of 1991 in the initial dynasty years, just not record setting. And definitely wouldn't have lasted much long after a decade.

No honorable mention. They got caught in multiple major cheating scandals before that span and got caught in yet another one after! They're frauds! They've always been frauds!
Both the Broncos and 49ers misses a three-peat by also shanking a playoff game the year before. The 97 Broncos choked against the Jags and the 87 Niners choked against the Vikings. Both teams were like 13-2. That 87 49er teams also has an odd twist. Montana got hurt early in the 3rd-to-last game against the Bears. Young came in and destroyed the Bears winning 41-0. Then they beat the Falcons and Rams 35-7 and 48-0 with Young. They outscored opponents 124-7. Then Montana came back and Vikings made history.
im not so sure Denver beats GB in 96 though..sure they beat them in 97..but I think that Jags L fueled Denver the following year..that GB team was hungry
@@carsonc29 Plus even had the Broncos won in 1996, there's no guarantee the 3 peat would have happened. Chances are Elway would have retire a year early.
Not really as the nfl won't post discrepancies. Dolphins won the superbowl in 1974. This guy claims they haven't been to superbowl since 1973. Which is wrong. Lol
@@spatium_viator "The Dolphins have yet to regain the Lombardi at any point since 1973." Obviously it means they haven't won the SB since the 1973-74 season
I appreciate the fact that you mentioned the Packers won the NFL championship before the two Super Bowls, this channel does a good job at acknowledging parts of history that may have been forgotten by the more casual fan.
At 11:12, the quote about the 49ers becoming the first team with back-to-back 14-win seasons is a bit misleading. The '85 & '86 Bears went 15-1 and 14-2... per wiki, "In going 14-2 (in 1986), the Chicago Bears were the first team in NFL history to have consecutive seasons with 14 or more victories." So the 49ers were the first team to win "exactly" 14 games in b2b seasons.
Well the Patriots from 2016-2018 had the best chance. They were in Super Bowls 51-53. They won 51 and 53, had the lead late in 52 until the Eagles eventually won it. You can't get closer to a three-peat than that.
The closest one was the 1990 49ers. If Roger Craig doesn't fumble that ball, the 49ers most likely get that one more first down to ice the clock away. For the 90's Cowboys, if Jerry's ego didn't get the better of him, Jimmy's Cowboys don't go down 21-0 to the 49ers in the 1994 NFC Championship after 3 possessions. Jimmy has that team ready. The 70's Steelers, even if Franco and Rocky were hurt, the Raiders on that day were a better team.
I agree with that last part about Steelers Raiders since the Raiders were a monster team that season and nothing was gonna stop them, not even one of the greatest defenses of all time
@@aloominknottyheadtap900it's not the niners were better it's the cowboys made 3 mistakes to put them down 21-0 in less than 5 minutes into the game and still made a comeback on their ass. So the niners should have won with a 21 point head start but they were not the better team. They just took advantage of the gifts
That ‘94 team was even better than the 90s Super Bowl teams. The Niners just played better that day in the NFC title game. The Boys got down early and could never dig out. It’s interesting that both Troy and Michael mentioned that ‘94 NFC championship game in their HOF speeches. That game showed their grit, toughness and heart. 💙
Niners had a really good team in 1994 and could’ve repeated in 1995 as well if Steve Young didn’t get hurt. But if we are playing hypotheticals, if Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones got along, maybe Dallas fourpeats regardless.
@@aloominknottyheadtap900 Yes, Troy loved Jimmy, and after Jimmy left, Troy said the team’s discipline started to slip with each passing year. I still think from talent standpoint, it was the best. We lost ken Norton junior that year but gained the late great Larry Allen who immediately added value to the line which was already great.
@@fortynights1513 Steve wasn't hurt when the 49ers lost to the Packers in 1995, and the 49ers went 3-2 without him that season. 49ers just got popped by the Packers in the divisional round.
@@cedh.7165 Pre-SB title games wouldn't be the conference championship games if there's no SB to follow it. They were the title games before things would change after 1965 and it's pretty easy to assume the NFL champ that year would have beaten the AFL champ at the time.
Winning once is an enormous challenge, so to win back to back is monumental. Therefore, a three peat in football is absolutely very difficult to achieve, especially nowadays in the days of parody, short contracts, salary cap, free agency and the such.
Leonard Marshall's hit on Montana, while devastating (he literally rode his body down to the ground, flattened him and fracturing his sternum, while twisting his hand giving him a spiral fracture) it didn't knock him out for the subsequent two seasons. Montana's notoriously bad elbow did that. I love that Montana still holds a tiny grudge against the Niners for moving on. In an interview he related a story where DeBartolo (or Carmen Policy?) said it all worked out because they got another SB win with Steve Young and Montana responded that they would've gotten a FEW more if they kept him! After years of healing, it seems clear that the '92 & '93 Niners simply didn't have enough of a running game or pass defense to beat those Cowboys, but it would've been interesting to see what a wily veteran Montana might've come up with.
Well I can understand Montana's bitterness. But at the same time he missed a complete season, and was a big risk health-wise. it was a cold-blooded move, but it ultimately proved to be the right one. And really who knows how well Montana plays if he stayed a 49er, or if he would ever win again. What we do know is that the 49ers got 8 more years of HOF QB play, and another SB win. Pretty good trade considering the alternative pitfalls.
@astrostar49 To be fair, Young could have won several Superbowls if they kept the roster intact. Instead, we lost players left and right. By the time around 1996 to 1998 Niners were shadow of former self. For example, that playoff game against the Falcons,; if we prepared a depth of good running backs that season we probably were not one dimensional against them and possibly advanced to the Superbowl that year.
@@CaptainAmerica2k7 Young played largely in the salary cap era. 49ers couldn't keep everyone like they could in the 80s. Still, they were able to keep most of their key pieces. Just came up short a few times.
@@CaptainAmerica2k7If you mean 98, I don’t think the Niners are beating Minnesota in the next round. Their defense was pretty average that year; far worse than Atlanta, and it’d face one of the best offenses there is. The Niners had a better offense than Atlanta arguably, but not by as big a margin.
Montana wouldn't have made a difference in either 1992 or 1993. Young was magnificent both years, but like you mentioned, the lack of a pass D (specifically a pass rush) greatly hindered their ability to thwart the balanced attack of the 'Boys. Dallas probably had the most balanced team of all the dynastic Super Bowl winners throughout history.
Most people forget how dominant the Packers were in the 60s because the Super Bowl wasn’t invented until ‘67. If the first Super Bowl was just a few years earlier, they’d have the most or at least close to it, and they’d have the only Super Bowl 3-peat ever. Truly the Boston Celtics of the NFL.
Also, even if they’d lose (and they more than likely would have), the AFL teams they would have played would get more recognition for being early Super Bowl teams.
There are five reasons Super Bowl three-peats have never happened: Head-coaching changes, QB changes, coordinator changes, star injuries and age. Do any of those apply to the Chiefs? Nope. I'm not a KC fan but if there's any team in the history NFL that can pull a three-peat, I'd have to say it's this Chiefs team right now
Lol the season hasn’t started yet and you’re already proudly proclaiming that the Chiefs have the best chance. Dudes could get injured this week. Not wishing that on anyone but anything can happen in an 17-game regular season. They’re still relying on an unproven crop of wide receivers and a 34-year old TE. Just like it did in NE (part of the reason why Brady went to Tampa), that’s going to come back to haunt the Chiefs.
@@shawnhenderson2091 Mahomes has stayed relatively healthy despite all of his out of the pocket antics. The NFL scriptwriters always have Concussion Protocol in their bag of tricks.
Nothing will cost them. It's all scripted, remember? And Taylor Swift has to coronate Michelle Obama as President of the World during halftime of the Super Bowl.
honestly, as a KC fan, I think fatigue will hurt them eventually..theyve played soo many more games than any other team..while Mahomes is young, Kelce is not...he is still THE lynch pin for the offense...not to mention the AFC is so stacked with young QB talent that its only a matter of time...id love for them to 3 peat..even if its the last SB Mahomes makes it to...but its a long season
@@ltod2 Or the script have the Ravens pulling off an upset where they were to win the SB against the Lions who were supposed to win only for Tucker to triple doink a 69 yarder and still made it in.
I like how they not only discuss the failed threepeats, but mention how the franchises have fared ever since, from Dallas's 1995 redemption to Green Bay, Pittsburgh, and Miami's decades-long title droughts (the Dolphins in particular having gone 50 years and counting without a third Lombardi Trophy)
Wont be listed here but the 2016-2018 Pats were the actual closest to a 3-peat since they made the Superbowl 3 straight seasons but lost the middle one to the Eagles.
The pats lost the second super bowl which means the third super bowl didn’t mean anything so they wasn’t the closest to achieving a three peat the 1990 49ers then the 1994 cowboys was
@@kevonsidek9737Exactly. The second loss resets the 3-peat so it's meaningless. That's like saying the Dolphins came closest cause they lost the SB in 71 but won in 72 and 73. The Steelers (74-76) 49ers (88-90) and Cowboys (92-94) came the closest having lost their chance in the conference championship game
@@ebtv7663im sorry i dont hate the Packers or anything but who doesn’t give the Packers their due? Lombardi’s name is on the trophy for our sport. Regular postseason presence with 2 HOF QBs in the last 3 decades. Everyone knows about the Packers extended legacy
"THERE WILL BE NO 3-PEAT!!!!!!!!" Worst words I've ever heard uttered during a 49ers broadcast. Still haunting 30 plus years later. The 49ers were so close to at least getting there.
This is why the Buffalo Bills of the 90s were so remarkable. No, they didn't win but to even get to the Super Bowl is hard enough, getting to two in a row is even harder and three back to back to back is nearly impossible, let alone winning the damn things. Marv Levy's boys did it four times in a row and it's too bad Levy never got a ring, he was one of my favorite coaches of all time (I'm not a Bills fan). I respect ANY team that makes the Super Bowl whether they win or not.
Y'all do realize Bill benching "The Butler" against Philly kept The Patriots from the 3-peat... 2016-17 SB (win) vs Falcons... 2017-18 SB (loss) vs Eagles... 2018-19 SB (win) vs Rams... They were that close!!!
Even without Butler it was a close game. Love how Pats fans can't even admit that The Eagles scored more points. It's like the Eagles had nothing to do with winning that game.
I don't think Marino would of fit in with that running first offense. The reason Marino never saw a ring was because of the pass happy offense and lack of a running game.
You’re talking about the afc divisional in Denver in Jan 2006, right? Hope it is because Watson chasing Bailey down after picking off Brady to go nearly all the way before Watson caused him to really what I still think was a fumble out of the end zone was just pure adrenaline laced greatness and hustle!- I bet Bailey had never been smacked around as hard that Denver night than that one. Absolutely incredible chasedown!! Watson would have been a really honorable cop chasing down suspects!
16:09 I will still never forget that Health class in 9th grade where the teacher wanted us to write about our hero, but she said “now don’t say John Elway just because he won the Super Bowl”
im a die hard cowboys fan but that 1990 nfc championship game is probably the best game ive ever watched. The Giants played the Niners twice that year and never score a Td in either game . Niners were nasty on defense that year
The total numbers won’t show it but in my opinion yhe 1976 Steelers were the best defense ever. What they did during those final 9 regular season games was amazing.
The days are long gone when the 11-1-2 1967 Baltimore Colts with that kind of record can't even qualify for the playoffs while Lombardi's inferior 9-4-1 team can
I Say The Packers from the 60’s and the 49ers from the 80’s are the Greatest 2 Dynasty In NFL History and ik most of most of us are glad the the cowboys didn’t 4 peat
It was not until elway’s 98-99 Super Bowl victory where the AFC became competitive and what it is known today. It was all NFC then; now it’s been all AFC
The tide started to turn in 1994, but clearly the NFC was superior at that time. My Steelers had an all-time choke in the AFCCG (though I still believe we would've lost to either Dallas or San Fran, just wouldn't have been embarrassed).
@@jaxonwoods8181 the best teams in the AFC in the mid 90's seemed to always find a way to lose to mediocrity in the playoffs 93 Oilers 95 Chiefs 96 Broncos and lets not forget the bills first superbowl was a tossup who knows how say a Oilers/chiefs v cowboys in 93/95 and Broncos v packers play out in a one game situation anything can happen
90 Bills had a better roster on paper than 90 Giants, but chocked. I think the NFC won the Superbowl like 13 straight times, with only 2 times it was close, some of that had to do with the best AFC Teams not always advancing to the Superbowl, which amount to blowouts in a lot of those Superbowls.
If Bruschi doesn’t suffer a stroke, if Rodney doesn’t tear his knee week 3 they would have had a legit chance. But then again, if my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle
The 2 reasons the Cowboys didn't 3-peat. 1. Jimmy Johnson wasn't the coach. 2. Erik Williams was out due to his car accident. People forget how good Williams was. The 9ers were all over Troy that game.
I’m a Raiders fan and I would be lying if I told you I’m not scared of the Chiefs getting a three-peat, I certainly hope the entire division can get their 💩 together and bring Kermit down
If Jerry Jones didn't fire Jimmy Johnson my Cowboys would have won 4 to 6 superbowls in a row. Jimmy knew talent he knew how to draft and he knew how to get the best out of his players.
The 49ers came the closest. That hit not only stopped their attempt a third straight Super Bowl but changed NFL history. If Joe is healthy they win three in a row. Bill Parcells doesn't resign & so many other things.
@@joshds123_3 It's hard to predict what would have happened if the Patriots had won those first 2. You can't assume the following season would have played out the way it did.

If I had wanted to see a team from the 1970s to the 2000s go up against eachother, it would be a bit crazy to see a 14-0 dolphins team go up against the 1976-1980 Pittsburgh team. I think that could’ve been a rivalry if the dolphins had held on to their prime a little longer.
@@cbod14The Steelers passed better, but interestingly they scored slightly more points in two less games in 1975 without the Mel Blount rule than they did in 1978 with it.
It will be interesting to see. They had a 7 point or less difference in Division, Conference, and SB last year. I think a major driver for their wins were their opponents making a higher rate of costly offensive mistakes. If they can continue to capitalize on those costly mistakes, I think they can do it. But I don't see them winning anything past the Wild Card by margins greater than 7 points.
@@heyheyhey33351 The Chiefs pretty much never win games by more than one score no matter who it is they're playing. Blowing out teams just isn't what Andy Reid does.
@@Freddie7191true because Kansas City has veteran Coaches who develop their stars to win games. Most of their wins and losses from 2018 to now were close games. Games like Los Angeles, Seattle, New England, Buffalo, Baltimore and San Francisco. They played more competitive than the rest of the league combined. The reason why Sam Fransisco lost both Super Bowls LIV and LVIII is because they dominated on offense. Their offense gives them the advantage except when playing Kansas City, facing Steve Spagnolo, known for upsetting the 16-0 Patriots. So yeah, Kansas City is DEFINITELY going to win.
The 49ers best chance would have been 1987 - 1989. How they lost to Minnesota is still a mystery. They were probably the best team from 1987 - 1990, but without Montana I’m not sure they would have beat the Bills in 1990.
Chiefs probably have as good a chance as the 49ers did of getting the 3peat. They somehow upgraded their roster if that's even possible, that being said, there are always 31 other teams that want to win and that always makes the odds against anyone trying to win it all.
Chiefs just have to play a few more good teams in their schedule then it’s smooth sailing to the playoffs, if they can bench Mahomes and Travis on games they are winning by a lot to preserve them than that’s great cuz they have a real shot at a 3peat which is crazy 😮
That is ridiculous. It’s not Matt Lepsis’s fault for rolling up on him or Brian. Injuries happen. It’s awful and robbed the world from seeing TD become the all time rushing champ. You all know he would have. Coulda gone for 2k multiple time again.
2016-2019 patriots also had a chance, they just ended up losing the Super Bowl to the eagles in between 51 and 53. If it wasn’t for Brandin cooks being knocked out after the 1st quarter I think they would have.
Before that Brady fumble late in the 4th, the Patriots scored on every meaningful possession after Cooks got hurt. New England never punted. Foles was simply unconscious in that game.

At 11:12, the quote about the 49ers becoming the first team with back-to-back 14-win seasons is a bit misleading.
The '85 & '86 Bears went 15-1 and 14-2... per wiki, "In going 14-2 (in 1986), the Chicago Bears were the first team in NFL history to have consecutive seasons with 14 or more victories."
So the 49ers were the first team to win "exactly" 14 games in b2b seasons.

Ya sadly
10:46 Roger Craig declaring a 3Peat only to later cost them that 3Peat when he fumbled vs the Giants
I dont think he declared it..he just said that was their next goal...
The 3 teams who had the best chance to 3peat were the '76 Steelers, the '90 49ers, and the '94 Cowboys.
Facts
Well the Patriots from 2016-2018 had the best chance. They were in Super Bowls 51-53. They won 51 and 53, had the lead late in 52 until the Eagles eventually won it. You can't get closer to a three-peat than that.
The closest one was the 1990 49ers. If Roger Craig doesn't fumble that ball, the 49ers most likely get that one more first down to ice the clock away. For the 90's Cowboys, if Jerry's ego didn't get the better of him, Jimmy's Cowboys don't go down 21-0 to the 49ers in the 1994 NFC Championship after 3 possessions. Jimmy has that team ready. The 70's Steelers, even if Franco and Rocky were hurt, the Raiders on that day were a better team.
I agree with that last part about Steelers Raiders since the Raiders were a monster team that season and nothing was gonna stop them, not even one of the greatest defenses of all time
Cowboys got beat by a better team.
@@aloominknottyheadtap900True. I thought the 49ers were better in 95’ as well but they lost to GB
Same here too.
@@aloominknottyheadtap900it's not the niners were better it's the cowboys made 3 mistakes to put them down 21-0 in less than 5 minutes into the game and still made a comeback on their ass. So the niners should have won with a 21 point head start but they were not the better team. They just took advantage of the gifts
That ‘94 team was even better than the 90s Super Bowl teams. The Niners just played better that day in the NFC title game. The Boys got down early and could never dig out. It’s interesting that both Troy and Michael mentioned that ‘94 NFC championship game in their HOF speeches. That game showed their grit, toughness and heart. 💙
Airman also admitted they weren't as good in 94 as they were previously. The 92 and 93 Cowboys were all time great teams.
Niners had a really good team in 1994 and could’ve repeated in 1995 as well if Steve Young didn’t get hurt.
But if we are playing hypotheticals, if Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones got along, maybe Dallas fourpeats regardless.
Cowboys could have came back but deion armed tackled Irvin and ended the comeback so cowboys got revenge in 95 and stole primetime lol funny asf
@@aloominknottyheadtap900 Yes, Troy loved Jimmy, and after Jimmy left, Troy said the team’s discipline started to slip with each passing year. I still think from talent standpoint, it was the best.

I always wondered if the Chiefs won that first Super Bowl would it be called the Lombardi or the Hunt trophy?
Yep, I lie awake at night wondering that too.
I like the Lamar Hunt trophy being the AFC. We get to win it at home 😁
Winning once is an enormous challenge, so to win back to back is monumental. Therefore, a three peat in football is absolutely very difficult to achieve, especially nowadays in the days of parody, short contracts, salary cap, free agency and the such.
Leonard Marshall's hit on Montana, while devastating (he literally rode his body down to the ground, flattened him and fracturing his sternum, while twisting his hand giving him a spiral fracture) it didn't knock him out for the subsequent two seasons. Montana's notoriously bad elbow did that. I love that Montana still holds a tiny grudge against the Niners for moving on. In an interview he related a story where DeBartolo (or Carmen Policy?) said it all worked out because they got another SB win with Steve Young and Montana responded that they would've gotten a FEW more if they kept him! After years of healing, it seems clear that the '92 & '93 Niners simply didn't have enough of a running game or pass defense to beat those Cowboys, but it would've been interesting to see what a wily veteran Montana might've come up with.
Well I can understand Montana's bitterness. But at the same time he missed a complete season, and was a big risk health-wise. it was a cold-blooded move, but it ultimately proved to be the right one. And really who knows how well Montana plays if he stayed a 49er, or if he would ever win again. What we do know is that the 49ers got 8 more years of HOF QB play, and another SB win. Pretty good trade considering the alternative pitfalls.
@astrostar49 To be fair, Young could have won several Superbowls if they kept the roster intact. Instead, we lost players left and right. By the time around 1996 to 1998 Niners were shadow of former self. For example, that playoff game against the Falcons,; if we prepared a depth of good running backs that season we probably were not one dimensional against them and possibly advanced to the Superbowl that year.
@@CaptainAmerica2k7 Young played largely in the salary cap era. 49ers couldn't keep everyone like they could in the 80s. Still, they were able to keep most of their key pieces. Just came up short a few times.
@@CaptainAmerica2k7If you mean 98, I don’t think the Niners are beating Minnesota in the next round.
Their defense was pretty average that year; far worse than Atlanta, and it’d face one of the best offenses there is.
The Niners had a better offense than Atlanta arguably, but not by as big a margin.
Montana wouldn't have made a difference in either 1992 or 1993. Young was magnificent both years, but like you mentioned, the lack of a pass D (specifically a pass rush) greatly hindered their ability to thwart the balanced attack of the 'Boys. Dallas probably had the most balanced team of all the dynastic Super Bowl winners throughout history.
We need more 3-peat, Vikings for 1!
I think Minnesota is getting a top three pick in the next draft (unless they’ve traded it away)
I thought JJ McCarthy was gonna be rookie of the year
1976 Pittsburgh Steelers = greatest defense ever
Most people forget how dominant the Packers were in the 60s because the Super Bowl wasn’t invented until ‘67. If the first Super Bowl was just a few years earlier, they’d have the most or at least close to it, and they’d have the only Super Bowl 3-peat ever. Truly the Boston Celtics of the NFL.
Also, even if they’d lose (and they more than likely would have), the AFL teams they would have played would get more recognition for being early Super Bowl teams.

Raiders ending the steelers chance was the greatest. No team has ever deserved a SB more than those Raiders have.
There are five reasons Super Bowl three-peats have never happened: Head-coaching changes, QB changes, coordinator changes, star injuries and age. Do any of those apply to the Chiefs? Nope. I'm not a KC fan but if there's any team in the history NFL that can pull a three-peat, I'd have to say it's this Chiefs team right now
Plus this year’s team is better on paper than the 2023 squad
Injuries are still possible. You never know what will happen during a season.
Season hasn’t started yet. Injuries can hit at anytime
And also, free agency and salary cap made it harder to get a lot of talent on one team from the late 90’s on.
Lol the season hasn’t started yet and you’re already proudly proclaiming that the Chiefs have the best chance. Dudes could get injured this week. Not wishing that on anyone but anything can happen in an 17-game regular season. They’re still relying on an unproven crop of wide receivers and a 34-year old TE. Just like it did in NE (part of the reason why Brady went to Tampa), that’s going to come back to haunt the Chiefs.
So I wonder what crazy shit will cost KC the threepeat this year
@@shawnhenderson2091 Mahomes has stayed relatively healthy despite all of his out of the pocket antics. The NFL scriptwriters always have Concussion Protocol in their bag of tricks.

Nothing will cost them. It's all scripted, remember? And Taylor Swift has to coronate Michelle Obama as President of the World during halftime of the Super Bowl.
honestly, as a KC fan, I think fatigue will hurt them eventually..theyve played soo many more games than any other team..while Mahomes is young, Kelce is not...he is still THE lynch pin for the offense...not to mention the AFC is so stacked with young QB talent that its only a matter of time...id love for them to 3 peat..even if its the last SB Mahomes makes it to...but its a long season

Wont be listed here but the 2016-2018 Pats were the actual closest to a 3-peat since they made the Superbowl 3 straight seasons but lost the middle one to the Eagles.
The pats lost the second super bowl which means the third super bowl didn’t mean anything so they wasn’t the closest to achieving a three peat the 1990 49ers then the 1994 cowboys was
@@kevonsidek9737Exactly. The second loss resets the 3-peat so it's meaningless. That's like saying the Dolphins came closest cause they lost the SB in 71 but won in 72 and 73.

Chiefs probably have as good a chance as the 49ers did of getting the 3peat. They somehow upgraded their roster if that's even possible, that being said, there are always 31 other teams that want to win and that always makes the odds against anyone trying to win it all.
