Tony Romo and Jim Nantz were on the call for the AFC Championship Game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills

Brian Schottenheimer, the son of former Kansas City Chiefs coach Marty Schottenheimer and former standout quarterback at Blue Valley High, is the new head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

The Bills were one of two teams to beat Kansas City during the regular season, but they have lost three playoff games to the Chiefs over the past five seasons.

The three-peat is so rare in American professional sports in general, too. The last major men's professional team to win three straight championships was the Los Angeles Lakers. They won three consecutive NBA titles from 2000-02. Here’s a look at every time the NFL has come close to a Super Bowl three-peat.

If the two-time defending champs defeat Buffalo in Sunday's AFC championship and make it to the Super Bowl, it'd be their fifth appearance in the big game since 2020.

After the Cowboys parted ways with former head coach Mike McCarthy, Sanders was a name that was linked to the role, but he was never formally interviewed.

Former USC Trojans wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has already helped the Kansas City Chiefs win one Super Bowl. Now in a reduced on-field role, he looks to help guide the Chiefs to another title in a different capacity.

The actual sports part and storylines are incredible: Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid are in their seventh consecutive AFC Championship Game; the Bills have a lifetime of heartbreak, including Buffalo leading Kansas City with 13 seconds left in a 2021 Divisional Round game before losing.

Games since then include the Chiefs’ 42-36 win in overtime in the 2021 AFC Divisional Round, known in Kansas City as the “13-second game,” and last season’s 27-24 escape in Buffalo, sealed when Bills placekicker Tyler Bass missed a 44-yard field goal in the final two minutes.
