I’m no historian and I’ve only been watching the NFL for 20 years now, but the Kansas City Chiefs could potentially do something me and millions of other fans have not seen – a three-peat. There have been nine back-to-back champions, which is still impressive and hard to achieve, but a three-peat? Insane.
Since I grew up under the reign of the New England Patriots, it’s hard for me to say the Chiefs are now the greatest dynasty of all time. Regardless, that hasn’t stopped others from crowning the chiefs with that title. On today’s episode of “The Dan Patrick Show,” ESPN national correspondent Sal Paolantonio sang high praise of the four-headed monster in KC – Andy Reid, Steve Spagnuolo, Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes.
“I think if they 3-peat, it will go down as the greatest NFL dynasty of all-time.”

— Dan Patrick Show (@dpshow) February 5, 2025″I think, if they three-peat it will go down as the greatest dynasty. Without a doubt,” Paolantonio told Patrick.
Paolantonio added that the likes of the 1967-1968 Green Bay Packers, the Pittsburgh Steelers of the late 70’s-early 80’s, the San Francisco 49ers (1982, 1985, 1989-1990), the 90’s Dallas Cowboys and the Patriots (2001-2018) could “move over.”
As a Cowboys fan, it pains me to admit that this Chiefs team has eclipsed the boys. As for the Packers and Steelers, maybe I’m young and dismissive but they have no business being ranked that high on some lists – especially the Packers in the early days of the league.
“There’s never been much money in the NFL and this much upheaval and a 17-game season. I think this is an incredible feat if they do win this Super Bowl and have a three-peat,” Paolantonio said about the NFL’s climate during the Chiefs’ reign. “I think it will go down as the greatest quarterback-coach combination and the greatest dynasty in the NFL.”
That take will need to sizzle a little bit longer. Since Mahomes became the starter, the QB and Reid have a record of 89-23 in the regular season and a 17-3 record in the postseason. Tom Brady and Bill Belichick have a regular season record of 249-75, 25 postseason wins and six titles.
Like always, time will tell where Mahomes-Reid and the Chiefs rank in NFL history.
