Talk of a "three-peat" may have inspired the Kansas City Chiefs to pursue a third consecutive Super Bowl title. But boasting of it and speaking as if a third consecutive championship might be a foregone conclusion provided significant motivation for the Philadelphia Eagles in their 40-22 victory on Sunday.
"Definitely," Eagles defensive tackle Milton Williams told ESPN's Tim McManus. "They were talking about getting the copyright and all that B.S. Throw that s*** in the trash."
Last week, the Chiefs reached a deal to use "three-peat" on championship merchandise with Miami Heat president Pat Riley, who owns the trademark to the phrase and variations of it.
