The Kansas City Chiefs are now just one victory away from making NFL history, with a chance to become the first team ever to win three consecutive Super Bowls.
Their 27-24 victory over the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game secured them a spot in Super Bowl 59 – their fifth appearance in the past six seasons.
While some fans have grown weary of Kansas City’s dominance, others, including veteran CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson, see this as an opportunity to witness greatness.
“Another classic (against Buffalo). I feel for Josh Allen and the Bills but also don’t enjoy hearing all the hate on the Chiefs. I witnessed Brady and the Pats dominance first hand and what KC is doing feels just like that. Let’s take a moment and appreciate what Mahomes and the Chiefs have accomplished,” Wolfson posted on X.
Wolfson likened Kansas City’s sustained excellence to the dominance of Tom Brady’s New England Patriots.
“I witnessed Brady and the Pats dominance first hand and what KC is doing feels just like that. Let’s take a moment and appreciate what Mahomes and the Chiefs have accomplished,” she added.
For Buffalo, the loss marked the fourth time in five years that they have been eliminated from the playoffs by Kansas City.
For Bills fans, it’s an all-too-familiar feeling, reminiscent of the early 1990s when the team reached four straight Super Bowls but failed to win a single Lombardi Trophy.
Now, the Chiefs have a chance to establish themselves as potentially the greatest dynasty in league history – if they can complete the three-peat.
Although as Wolfson alluded to, the sustained dominance of Brady’s Patriots won’t be easy to eclipse. While they never three-peated as champs, they were deep in the mix for nearly 20 years.
Despite their success, the Chiefs have faced growing criticism from fans, particularly regarding officiating.
Throughout the season and into the playoffs, many have accused Kansas City of receiving favorable calls. Controversial moments in both their playoff victories have only fueled these claims.
Now, the two-time defending champions will face a familiar foe: the Philadelphia Eagles.
The two teams last met in Super Bowl LVII, where Kansas City emerged victorious in one of the most dramatic games of all-time.
It’s a tall ask, but we’ll see if Sunday’s rematch lives up to the hype…
What are your thoughts on people like Wolfson who can’t understand why the Chiefs are despised by so many fans? … What is your stance on KC’s dominance???
