Kansas City Chiefs to Create History?

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs launch their quest for a historic Super Bowl three-peat on Thursday as the reigning NFL champions open the new season with a heavyweight clash against the Baltimore Ravens.

Seven months after a third Super Bowl crown in five seasons cemented Kansas City's status as the NFL's newest dynasty, Mahomes and the Chiefs are now targeting a place amongst the sport's immortals.

No team has ever won three Super Bowls in a row, and of the eight teams who have won back-to-back Super Bowls, none have ever returned to the championship game in the following season to challenge for a hat-trick.

Tom Brady is Back

Tom Brady, who will start his post-playing career as a television analyst this season, outlined the scale of the challenge facing the Chiefs in their pursuit of a third title.
