The Chiefs and the possibility of the ‘Three Peat’: How many teams have achieved a three-peat?

The so-called ‘Three Peat’, or winning three consecutive championships, represents the pinnacle of success in American sports, marking the consolidation of a true dynasty. Now, the Kansas City Chiefs are one step away from joining this exclusive club.

After beating the Buffalo Bills 32-29 in the AFC Championship, the Chiefs sealed their ticket to Super Bowl LIX, where they will face the Philadelphia Eagles on February 9 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. This matchup will be a re-edition of Super Bowl LVII, in which Kansas City defeated the Eagles 38-35 in an exciting game.

If they win, the Chiefs led by Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce would become the first team in NFL history to achieve a three-peat, a feat that has already been achieved in other American sports.
