The NFL’s quest for its first three-peat in Super Bowl history continues as the Kansas City Chiefs fell to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX with a final score of 40-22. This marks the latest attempt at achieving a three-peat, as the Chiefs were on the verge of making history but could not secure the win.
Kansas City, who previously won the Super Bowl LVII and LVIII, aimed for a historic three straight championships but were denied. The Chiefs made history by being the first back-to-back champions to return to the Super Bowl since the New England Patriots in 2003 and 2004.
This loss means that no team has yet managed to win three consecutive Super Bowls, although the Green Bay Packers have achieved three consecutive championships prior to the Super Bowl era. This highlights the ongoing challenge for NFL teams trying to reach this uncharted milestone in league history.
Table of Previous Three-Peat Attempts:
| Team (Year) | Season Result |
|---|---|
| Green Bay Packers (1968) | Missed playoffs |
| Miami Dolphins (1974) | Lost in divisional round |
| Pittsburgh Steelers (1976) | Lost in AFC Championship |
| Pittsburgh Steelers (1980) | Missed playoffs |
| San Francisco 49ers (1990) | Lost in NFC Championship |
| Dallas Cowboys (1994) | Lost in NFC Championship |
| Denver Broncos (1999) | Missed playoffs |
| New England Patriots (2005) | Lost in divisional round |
| Kansas City Chiefs (2024) | Lost in Super Bowl LIX |
While the Chiefs could not secure their place in history this time around, the search for a three-time champion in the NFL remains elusive as they continue to build towards their next season.
