The latest newsletter from KCSN Sports Data Scientist, Joseph Hefner
“Hardman caught the ball! The Chiefs have won! The Chiefs have won! The entire bench empties, chasing Mahomes in the end zone. […] Their third super bowl in five years! The Chiefs are back-to-back Super Bowl Champions! It is a Dynasty! The Chiefs have won Super Bowl 58! “ ~Kevin Harlan, calling the Chiefs walk-off touchdown in Super Bowl 58.
Dynasty. That’s the word that keeps being thrown around, after the Chiefs won their third championship in five years. Mitch Holthus, calling the end of the Super Bowl, calls it a dynasty. Patrick Mahomes, from the stage, receiving the Lombardi trophy, says it’s a dynasty. And who are we to dispute the GOAT? If Pat says it’s a dynasty, it’s a dynasty.
The Chiefs, with four total Super Bowl victories, are climbing the all-time rankings for most ever Lombardi’s. This graphic shows how many Super Bowl victories each franchise has won. The Chiefs now rank 5th overall, tied with the Giants and Packers. One more Super Bowl, and we are tied with two of the most storied franchises in the NFL, the San Francisco 49ers, and the Dallas Cowboys.
