However, like the Chiefs this season, the Lakers did not fulfill those "three-peat" ambitions 36 years ago.

"That was motivation because it was kind of a slap to us," 15-year veteran Brandon Graham added. "It was like, they ain't seen us yet. So, we heard that all week. And when the game came, execution was on point and together."

The Eagles' defense certainly took out its frustration with the "three-peat" talk on the Chiefs. Philadelphia sacked Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes six times, one away from tying a Super Bowl record.

Amazingly, the Eagles didn't blitz Mahomes for any of their sacks. Vic Fangio's defense pressured the Chiefs purely with defensive lineman and linebackers winning their matchups. Josh Sweat notched 2.5 sacks on Sunday, followed by Williams with two. Jordan Davis got one and Jalyx Hunt recorded a half-sack.

Riley presumably lost millions of dollars by the Chiefs not being able to use "three-peat" on championship merchandise and apparel. (It was a tough week for Riley, who had to trade discontented star Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors.)

However, the five-time NBA championship coach had previously cashed in licensing and royalty fees from the Chicago Bulls' dynastic run of six NBA titles (with two different "three-peats") and the Lakers' three consecutive championships from 2000-02.

Unfortunately, the Chiefs won't get that kind of consolation prize after a surprising blowout Super Bowl defeat.
