Episode 97
Super Bowl Three-Peat Attempts
In 2024, the Kansas City Chiefs are attempting to become the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls (and are off to a good start at 3-0!) Eight teams have tried before: The 1968 Packers, 1974 Dolphins, 1977 Steelers, 1980 Steelers, 1990 49ers, 1994 Cowboys, 1999 Broncos, and 2005 Patriots. All have failed, and in fact none have even made it to the Super Bowl, let alone winning it. In this episode we relive all of the efforts. Why were they unsuccessful? And who came the closest?
