At the start of last season, some still questioned whether the Chiefs were a dynasty as they were yet to win back-to-back titles.
They put an end to that debate by winning on the road during the play-offs before coming from behind to beat the 49ers in Las Vegas.
They have reached four of the past five Super Bowls, winning three. Most importantly, last season they became the first team to win consecutive titles since the New England Patriots in the 2003 and 2004 seasons.
Now the Chiefs and quarterback Mahomes can go one better with a Super Bowl ‘three-peat’, something no other NFL team has managed – not even the Patriots with Tom Brady.
In the NFL’s 104-year history, the Green Bay Packers won three straight titles from 1929-31 and 1965-67, but only the last two of those titles were in the Super Bowl era.
That makes them one of eight teams to win back-to-back Super Bowls, with three making it as far as the Conference Championship game the following season – the Pittsburgh Steelers (1976), the 49ers (1990) and the Dallas Cowboys (1996).
“I mean, there’s a reason why no-one’s ever done it,” said Brady, who makes his NFL broadcasting debut as Cleveland host Dallas on Sunday.
“I’m not saying it can’t be done. It certainly can. And the Chiefs have a great opportunity to do it. They’ve got a lot of great pieces in place.”
