Glendale (United States), 12 Feb. The Kansas City Chiefs threaten to forge a dominant dynasty this decade after winning the third Super Bowl in franchise history on Sunday, the second in four years.
The Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 35-38 in Super Bowl LVII at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
It was the fifth NFL title game for Kansas City. He triumphed in editions of Super Bowl IV, during which he beat the Vikings 23-7; in the LIV, with a 31-20 victory over the 49ers and in that of this Sunday.
He lost in the inaugural Super Bowl to the Green Bay Packers 35-10 and in No. LV to the Tampa Bay Packers 31-9.
With the victory, the Chiefs are now part of the group of teams that have won the Vince Lombardi Trophy three times, supplemented by the Commanders, Raiders and Broncos, although none of these three seem as competitive as Kansas City. .
Their constant presence in the last games of the National Football League championship, the youth of Patrick Mahomes, their 27-year-old quarterback, who already has two championship rings, and the experience of their coach, Andy Reid, the designate as the dominant. team this decade.
Since the first Super Bowl was played in 1967, the decades have been mastered by different teams. In the late 1960s the Packers won two titles, in the 1970s the Steelers added four, the 1980s went to the 49ers with four, the 1990s belonged to the Cowboys with three.
The only team to extend its dynasty for two consecutive decades was the New England Patriots, who between 2001 and 2019 won six Vince Lombardi Trophies.
After 57 editions of the Super Bowl, the teams with the most victories are the Patriots and the Steelers with six each, the 49ers and the Cowboys have five per team, followed by the Packers and the Giants who add four in each establishment.
Two Super Bowls in recent years aren’t enough to claim a long reign for the Chiefs, but Mahomes has previously warned that it’s not over yet.
“We are not a dynasty yet, because we are not finished yet,” sealed the quarterback after the victory against the Eagles.
