A win for the Chiefs on Sunday night against the Eagles would have put them in rarified air as the only team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls.
Such a triumph in Super Bowl LIX for Kansas City would have spelled bad news for Tom Brady and the Patriots’ dynasty, who would have had to continue to hear talk about their 20-year run being challenged less than a decade after it shuttered.
But that talk should quiet on Sunday following the Chiefs’ lopsided 40-22 loss to the Eagles in New Orleans, with Philadelphia dominating in all three phases of the game.
