After defeating the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII, the Kansas City Chiefs are now one of a select few NFL franchises to win back-to-back Super Bowl titles.
It was the team’s third Super Bowl win in five years. The Chiefs are now in the conversation of top NFL dynasties, with their sights set on breaking an NFL and Super Bowl record.
No team in the NFL has ever won three straight Super Bowls. In fact, no team has ever won two Super Bowls and even appeared in the Super Bowl the following season.
Other North American sports leagues have seen their share of three-peats, a phrase that was trademarked by former NBA coach Pat Riley. The last three-peats in professional sports leagues happened in the NBA in 2002 (Los Angeles Lakers), MLB in 2000 (New York Yankees) and NHL in 1983 (New York Islanders).
The Boston Celtics even won eight straight NBA Championships from 1959 to 1966.
