definitely a possibility...
back to back with a chance at at 3 peat has only been done a few times in history of the NFL.
No one has ever three-peated.
Theres only one team who ever went back to back two times, i believe and that was the steelers (correct me if I am wrong).
So -- For us to do BETTER than what we have already done and are doing now, would require us to either:
1) go back to back again at some other date
2) three-peat this year and then three peat at some other point
3) do something that is arguably better than 1 or 2, like win a bunch of superbowls that are non-consecutive but with a different set of players a few years down the road (maybe like brady did with the pats after he won his 1st two rings and had a few years of non champs)
so yeah...
basically to do even better than THIS would be really amazing. [Reply]

9 teams have gone back to back
Packers in I and II
Dolphins in VII and VIII
Steelers in IX and X
Steelers in XIII and XIV
49ers in XXIII and XXIV
Cowboys in XXVII and XXVIII
Broncos in XXXII and XXXIII
Patriots in XXXVIII and XXXIX
Chiefs in LVII and LVIII...
Consider the 6 season span for the Steelers from SB IX through SB XIV.
They won back to back twice (no one has done that) so 4 Super Bowl wins, 1 AFCCG appearance, 1 Divisional round appearance, and 6 Division titles.
If the Chiefs win this year:
3 in a row (no one has done that) with 4 Super Bowl wins, with 1 more Super Bowl appearance, an AFCCG loss and 6 division titles.
This would be the greatest 6 year run in NFL HISTORY not just Chiefs history. [Reply]

Do you know which one of these teams came the closest to a 3 peat? I don't recall any of them reaching and then losing in the Super Bowl in quest of that feat.
And I know I could look it up. I'm just asking in case you already know. [Reply]

The 49ers in 1990 were really close. They were leading that entire NFCCG game against the Giants and then Montana got hurt and the Niners fumbled the ball just trying to run out the clock. Hard to say if Steve Young would have led them to victory against Buffalo, but they were 14-2 that year and had a pretty tough defense.
The 94 Cowgirls got to the NFCCG game but fell behind like 21-0 in the first quarter and never recovered. Without that poor first quarter, they may have gotten a fourpeat. [Reply]

Thanks!
I also see the Steelers got to the AFC Championship game after their 1st back-to-back, but lost to the Raiders 24-7. [Reply]

Didn't dig too much into the why.... in a few cases, it was obvious from a coach or QB retiring or injured players. And sometimes football is hard.... several of these teams (not the Broncos, lol) were still very good.
Packers, '68, 6-7-1, didn't make playoffs, Vince Lombardi retired
Dolphins, '74, 11-3, lost divisional round @Raiders 28-26, 'Sea of Hands'
Steelers, '76, 10-4, lost AFCCG @Raiders 24-7, Franco Harris and Rocky Bleier both injured
Steelers, '80, 9-7, didn't make playoffs, aging team (many players retired after this season)
