In the major US sports leagues, a three-peat is when a team becomes national champions three years running.
It has been done five times in both the NBA and NHL, and four times in MLB.
The Green Bay Packers have achieved two three-peats in the NFL, with the latter coming as they won the final championship game before the Super Bowl era in 1966, followed by the first two Super Bowls.
No team has ever won three straight Super Bowls, but the Kansas City Chiefs have the chance of clinching a three-peat in Super Bowl 59 on Sunday, 9 February.
Both teams touched down in New Orleans on Sunday for Super Bowl week, with Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes looking focused as the teams arrived in New Orleans on Sunday.
Player arrival pictures before big games are usually good for some bold fashion choices but getting off their respective planes, it looks like most players chose comfort over style.
Even so, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce still stood out in this bold tracksuit combo.
What are we calling this colour? Dark mustard? Hot dog brown? Either way, Taylor Swift’s boyfriend has certainly got Style…
Julian Edelman is sick of accusations that the league or the referees are biased towards Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
A three-time Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots as they dominated the NFL – he knows success often brings jealousy.
“It’s apparent when you’re on top everyone wants to try and bring you down,” he told the Rich Eisen Podcast. “It’s a bunch of baloney that the league is helping the Kansas City Chiefs
“If you’ve got a problem with it – go beat them. The refs aren’t involved when you throw interceptions when you fumble the ball, when you jump offsides, or when you don’t convert third down or fourth down. They can’t control that.
“If you want to beat them go beat them. Don’t just talk about it, do it. I’m so sick and tired of hearing people say that about the Chiefs.
“These whole graphics about they get the calls off the refs – it’s because they’re coached better.”
Super Bowl 59 will take place at the Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The stadium hosted its first Super Bowl in 1978 and has staged the NFL’s championship game more times than any other stadium (seven).
This year will be the first time since 2013 that the game has been played in New Orleans and the 11th overall – a joint record with Miami – which is why the locals like to call it the ‘city of Super Bowls’.
Home to the New Orleans Saints, the Superdome opened in 1975 so this year’s Super Bowl coincides with the stadium’s 50th anniversary.
It has a capacity of about 75,000 and underwent a five-year renovation costing $560m (£458.7m), which was completed in time for this season.
