Chiefs' Andy Reid steers clear of dynasty talk with potential three-peat on horizon
Three-time Super Bowl-winning coach Andy Reid wants no part of the dynasty talks, but the easy-to-love Kansas City Chiefs maestro knows he’ll have to fend them off for another season.
The Chiefs have won three championships in five years, and have a chance to three-peat as Super Bowl champions.
Can the Chiefs do it in the modern NFL era, and cement The Chiefs Dynasty as the greatest in NFL history?
Reid – entering his 12th season with the Chiefs, and 26th as an NFL head coach – playfully deflected from the dynasty chatter on Monday.
“It’s up to you (media) to do the dynasty thing,” Reid said during NFL league meetings in Orlando.

“I’m back to training camp, and kinda the meat and potatoes of the thing," Reid said. "That’s where I go. I make sure the guys come back in shape, and we’re ready to roll. That’s the part that we’ll control there. And make sure the guys build a nice foundation up at training camp.”
What have the Chiefs done this offseason?
Reid knows more than most: You can’t take anything for granted in the NFL.
Even with Patrick Mahomes, arguably the best quarterback in today’s game, under center.
“Every year in the NFL is a new year," Reid said. "Every team is a different team. Guys know how I go with that: Don’t get caught up in too much of the fluff. We just roll,” Reid said.
“I put on another Tommy Bahama shirt on, and let’s go.”
The Chiefs have kept their core intact, re-signing longtime defensive tackle Chris Jones to a five-year, $95 million deal and longtime defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo to a contract extension.
Kansas City also signed speedy wide receiver Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown to a one-year deal worth $11 million to provide a shifty downfield threat alongside star tight end Travis Kelce and rising receiver Rashee Rice to Mahomes’ disposal.
Mahomes declared after the Super Bowl: “We’re not done.” And he recently said: “To get Chris back and to add Hollywood, Kansas City, we’re going to keep staying the city of champions.”
Has any NFL team won three straight titles?
Several teams have repeated as champions twice. But no franchise has won three straight Super Bowls.
The Green Bay Packers have won three straight NFL championships in 1929-31.
The Packers also won the last NFL championship in 1965, before winning the first two Super Bowls in 1966 and 1967.
While technically a three-peat, the latter wasn’t a Super Bowl three-peat.
