They got their 3 SBs, but they'll be the target for every AFC team next year. Lamar, Burrow, Allen, Herbert, Rodgers, Tua, Watson, Stroud, etc
They were actually fortunate this year to play a hobbled Miami and Buffalo team in the playoffs. And Baltimore just s**t the bed. Lucky for them they got the biggest choking QB in the playoffs followed by the biggest choking coach in the playoffs back to back.
Next year won't be that easy….
Nobody has ever 3peated..........and that includes actually playing in the Super Bowl (we've never seen someone actually play in the Super Bowl on a 3peat mission).
Niners '90 were the closest losing on a last second FG to the Giants, followed by Cowboys '94 who got within 10 points.
Nobody got closer as far as championship game that I know of:
'76 Steelers got beaten 24-7 by oakland in the conference game, and missed the playoffs in '80
'99 Broncos missed the playoffs
'05 Patriots lost in the divisional round
'16-'18 Patriots went to three Super Bowls in a row but lost the middle one to the Eagles
Good to know the 49ers were involved in nearly getting one and stopping another.
Not sure we beat Buffalo a week after the Giants with Steve Young. Cowboys most certainly would've beaten San Diego in that Super Bowl.
There's a reason it's never happened before. People can act like KC will get back, but I can't see it either.
Can't keep performing miracles. Even the Patriots couldn't go 19-0....
