“It always comes down to the wire. Luckily we were on the winning side this time. But like I said, I’m just excited to get to New Orleans,” Mahomes said. “Let’s go make history.”
Nantz mentioned on stage with Travis Kelce that the tight end was already thinking about three straight Super Bowl titles before Kansas City pulled off a Super Bowl LVIII win over the San Francisco 49ers last year.
“Never satisfied, baby! When you play like this in front of Arrowhead Stadium every AFC Championship. Are you kidding me?” said Kelce.

Since the NFL merged with the American Football League and called the title game the Super Bowl, there have been eight repeat champions.
Green Bay Packers (1966-67), Miami Dolphins (1972-73), Pittsburgh Steelers (1974-75 and 1978-79), San Francisco 49ers (1988-89), Dallas Cowboys (1992-93), Denver Broncos (1997 -98), New England Patriots (2003-04) and Chiefs (2022-23).
Only the Chiefs got a chance to win a third straight title. Before the merger, the Packers won three consecutive NFL championships from 1929 to 1931. The Packers won the NFL championship in 1965 and then Super Bowls I and II.
What does it take to win a third title in a row? Only beat one of the best running backs in the NFL in the Philadelphia Eagles led by Saquon Barkley. Also, try to dig deep and block a defensive front that includes Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis and Milton Williams.
