Can The Chiefs Win The Super Bowl For A Third Season In-a-Row

The Kansas City Chiefs defended their Super Bowl title in 2024 after beating the 49ers, to become the first back-to-back winners since the Patriots in 2004 & 2005 – but, did you know? No NFL team has EVER won the Vince Lombardi Trophy three times on the bounce.

Previous Super Bowl ‘Back-to-Back’ Winners

Before the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl in 2023 and 2024, it was the New England Patriots that held the title as being the last NFL team win back-to-back Super Bowls.

The Chiefs came close in 2020 and 2021 after winning Super Bowl LIV and then finishing runners-up the following season – but they put that record straight in 2024 with a 25-22 win over the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas.

With star quarterback Patrick Mahomes their talisman again and winning this third Super Bowl MVP.

This latest Super Bowl ‘back-to-back’ win now means we’ve seen NINE repeat winners of NFL’s biggest event since it began in 1967.

With the Pittsburgh Steelers being king of the repeat wins having done the double twice – in 1979 & 80, 1975 & 76.

As mentioned, New England did their Super Bowl double in 2004 and 2005. While before that we saw the Broncos successfully defend their crown in 1998 and 1999.

The Cowboys (1993 & 1994), 49ers (1989 & 90), Steelers (1979 & 80, 1975 & 76), Dolphins (1973 & 74) and Packers (1967 & 68), who won the first two Super Bowls, are the only other teams to have etched their names on the Super Bowl back-to-back winners list.

No Team Has Won Three Super Bowls In-a-Row: Can The Kansas City Chiefs Become The First?

However, from the opening 58 Super Bowls, we are still to see a team win three Vince Lombardi Trophies in-a-row.

We’ve not really come close as yet either – with all previous repeat winners not making the Super Bowl after their back-to-back wins.

But, with the Chiefs winning the last two – this Super Bowl first is well and truly ON as we look ahead to 2025 in New Orleans.
