Reasons teams don't 3peat..
- Obviously, they don't win two in a row. That's ****ing hard.
- Injuries. Never 'marked off the list' of course and still two games left, but despite all the shit this season, they're playing next weekend and they're pretty damn healthy.
- Players getting old/retiring (60s Packers, 70s Steelers, 90s Broncos)... well, postseason Kelce was getting open all day yesterday.
After that, the sample size is pretty damn small for the teams trying to just get back to a 3rd SB in a row after winning the first two

This is ALL house money, as far as I'm concerned.
I had resigned myself to the reality that my beloved Chiefs would never win a Super Bowl, never have an elite QB, and that every season would end in heartbreak-if it didn't end in embarassment long before the play-offs.
And then it happened: We drafted Patrick Mahomes.
And things I'd never dreamed of in my tiny shrunken black hole of a heart came to pass.
It's all house money. Enjoy the ride!
Almost certainly, this off-season will bring a lot of change whether we win or lose. Players we've come to love will move on in search of fortunes. Coaches and front office people will move on to new opportunities. Change is the one constant, and we've been somewhat immune thus far. Probably not this time.
I'm not saying I don't CARE if we win or not; of course I CARE. I want to cement this Chiefs era as the greatest in the sport.
I won't be broken hearted if we don't get there. This team, these coaches, these players-they've already given me so much joy that not winning a third straight won't cause me to lose any sleep. It's house money, baby.
Enjoy the ride!
