Professional sports teams to win 3 years straight since 1975
Yes all close games. Ravens fumbled the ball at the goaline otherwise that game was tied and Allen and Diggs got crossed up on what should have a TD that would have won that game. 49ers made a number of errors too. Just goes to show that you have to play at the top of your game to beat the champs but by the same token you need the ball to bounce your way to stay champs too.
The ball did not bounce the 49er way on the muffed punt.
Chiefs had to convert 4th and 1 in OT. That down made me nervous and I'm not a Chiefs fan!
Every Chiefs fan was nervous on that down.
As someone who hates the Chiefs, I had a sense of near certainty that they would convert.
Yeah I figured they would convert that as well. It was inches and the D was worn down by then. Maybe you have shot to stop that in the 3rd Q, not the 5th of such a high intensity game.
Patrick was in shotgun on 4th and inches!
They should have spied him. If they spied maybe he forces a throw.
Unless these chiefs are the best.
Mahomes, Kelce, and Reid are the best, as much as I hate to admit it.
3 hall of famers to be sure but even the best tandems don't win every year.
Kickers determine legacies. Ask buffalo. Ask Adam Venitieri
Better than Brady, Gronk and Belichick?
By the numbers, yes.
By my eye test, also yes.
Recency bias. People were saying the same thing in 2019 about a different trio. The patriots went to 8 straight conference finals. Chiefs have gone to 6 straight so far
In 2018 patriots won in Kansas City because of defense. The Chiefs defense gave up too many yards and points under bob Sutton
Mahomes and Kelce have all of the postseason receiving records now. Obviously, I get that Brady and Gronk were great (and part of that was Gronk's elite blocking that Kelce doesn't even remotely match).
Will Mahomes keep this up for 20+ years? We'll see. As of now, though, he's on pace to surpass Brady's success.
My point is a 3-peat is unlikely despite the greatness of Mahomes, Kelce and Reid.
5 years ago, Reid was the coach who couldn't win the big game.

They lost in 2018, 2020, 2021 seasons. They maybe the best but best doesn’t mean invincible.
Yesterday the biggest play was special teams: muffed punt by 49ers.
Three in a row is almost impossible. Better teams have failed to win 3 in a row. Unless these chiefs are the best. They beat buffalo by 3, ravens by 7 and 49ers in overtime. Close games they could have lost
