The Chiefs seek the 1st Super Bowl threepeat after 8 previous back-to-back champs fell short

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs will try to do what Tom Brady, Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw couldn't during their Hall of Fame careers.

After winning back-to-back Super Bowls, Mahomes and the Chiefs now are aiming to become the first team ever to win three straight. Kansas City heads into the season as the favorite to win it all, according to BetMGM Sportsbook.

But history is against the Chiefs. The eight other repeat Super Bowl champions all fell short with none even making it to the Super Bowl. Three lost in the conference title game, two lost in the divisional round and three others missed the playoffs entirely.

It’s been more than two decades since any team three-peated in the NFL, NBA, NHL or Major League Baseball.
