In the realm of professional sports, the elusive three-peat is a feat few teams have achieved. Since the Super Bowl era began, no team has managed to win three consecutive championships, making it a rare and coveted accomplishment. This upcoming season, the Kansas City Chiefs will attempt to make history by becoming the first team to achieve this impressive milestone.
Travis Kelce, the Chiefs’ star tight end, will undoubtedly play a crucial role in his team’s pursuit of greatness. Recently, Kelce had the opportunity to discuss the three-peat with NFL legend Michael Irvin at a Dallas Mavericks game. Irvin, who won two Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys in the 1992 and 1993 seasons, shared his insights with Kelce on how to make history.
Irvin’s advice was rooted in his own experience of coming close to achieving a three-peat but ultimately falling short. He cautioned Kelce that the opportunity to make history is fleeting and that every day counts. “I said to him, ‘Whatever you do, do all you can do to make that happen. … I’m telling you, if you leave anything on the table and you don’t get it, you will think about it for the rest of your life, like I do,'” Irvin recalled.

The Chiefs are the ninth team in the Super Bowl era to attempt to achieve a three-peat. While all eight previous teams have failed to succeed, Kelce and the Chiefs are determined to make history.

The opportunity to make history is a rare and precious one, and Kelce is well aware of the significance of this moment. As he embarks on this journey, he will undoubtedly draw inspiration from Irvin’s words of wisdom.
Appearing in three straight Super Bowls is a remarkable feat in itself, and only a select few teams have managed to achieve it. The Miami Dolphins (1971-1973), the Buffalo Bills (1990-1993), and the Tom Brady-led New England Patriots (2017-2019) are the only teams to have accomplished this.
Now, Kelce and the Chiefs are poised to etch their names into the history books. Will they be able to overcome the odds and achieve the elusive three-peat? Only time will tell.
