The NFL season finale is upon us, with the Pro Bowl Games capped by an NFC-vs-AFC flag football showdown at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla., on Feb. 2 and Super Bowl LIX (that’s 59) at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Feb. 9.

 

Between now and then, you’ll be inundated with all sorts of on-the-field statistics about the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles — as well as the number three. As in three-peat. The Chiefs are the only team in NFL history to reach back-to-back-to-back Super Bowls and could become the first to ever win three in a row.
