Either the Kansas City Chiefs or the Philadelphia Eagles will be the fifth team since 2000 to win two Super Bowls within five years. It’s a feat that is impressive for multiple reasons — we’ll get to that later — but even more striking when you juxtapose both the Chiefs’ and Eagles’ success with the previous two champions, the Los Angeles Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Just a year after the Rams and two years after the Buccaneers hoisted the Lombardi Trophy, both clubs are trending in the wrong direction with no clear path forward after throwing all their chips into title contention.
