Cool. Since this season has not been decided yet you really can only say 4 years. Also glad you brought that up because there are reasons why KC doesn't have more.
Year 1: Dee Ford lines up onsides KC goes to the SB and has a chance to win it.
Year 2: KC wins it all
Year 3: KC loses in the SB to TB. In that game KC played almost all backups on the Oline due to a Fisher injury in the AFCCG. Mahomes had turf toe. The reffing was so bad in favor of the Bucs that non Chiefs fans and sports commentators even noticed and called it out. Heck one ref was so enamored with Brady she named her kid after him.
Year 4: Mahomes and the offense fell apart in the second half of the AFCCG.
Year 5: TBD
Now I posted all of that to not make excuses for anything but to highlight just how hard it is to win even one SB much less multiple over a short span of time. They are hosting their 5th straight AFCCG which is a record. Oh and KC has done all of this without the benefit of drafting Top 10 year after year (outside Mahomes who they had to trade up for).
Cincinnati is about to start to see what it looks like to be the hunted and how hard it is to sustain the level of success KC has enjoyed now that they aren't getting Top 10 picks anymore. They are about to have to start paying and/or losing some talent and will have to make due with less. Lets see then if they have multiple SBs (or any) over a five year span. Burrow is the second best QB in football and well on his way to being a first ballot HoF.
Sure you can say they should have won more, but until Cincinnati wins any it's hard to talk smack using that flawed logic.
