“It always comes down to the phone. Luckily, we were on the winning side this time. But like I said, I’m really excited to go down to New Orleans,” Mahomes said. “Let’s go and make history.”
Nantz said on stage with Travis Kelce that the tight end was already thinking about three consecutive Super Bowl titles before Kansas City won Super Bowl LVIII over the San Francisco 49ers last year.
“You’re never satisfied, baby! When you play in front of Arrowhead Stadium like this every AFC Championship. Are you kidding me?” Kelce said.

Since the NFL merged with the American Football League to call the title game the Super Bowl, there have been eight repeat champions.
The Green Bay Packers (1966-67), Miami Dolphins (1972-73), Pittsburgh Steelers (1974-75 and 1978-79), San Francisco 49ers (1988-89), Dallas Cowboys (1992-93), Denver Broncos ( 1997-98), New England Patriots (2003-04) and Chiefs (2022-23).
Only the Chiefs got the chance to win the third title in a row. Before the merger, the Packers won three straight NFL championships from 1929 to 1931. The Packers won the NFL championship in 1965 and then Super Bowls I and II.
What does it take to win a third straight title? He only beat the best rushing attack in the NFL in the Philadelphia Eagles led by Saquon Barkley. Also, try to dig deep and block a defensive front that includes Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis and Milton Williams.
