If the Kansas City Chiefs win the Super Bowl, they’ll become the first team in NFL history to win three championships in a row.

But as individuals, Patrick Mahomes and his teammates won’t be able to say they’re the first PLAYERS to three-peat.  It’s happened before.  But only ONCE.

Yes, in all of Super Bowl history, there’s one single, solitary player who’s won the game three years in a row.

His name is Ken Norton Jr.

In 1993, he was a linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys when they beat the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl 27.  The next year, he and the Cowboys beat the Bills AGAIN in Super Bowl 28.

Then he moved on to the San Francisco 49ers, who beat the Chargers in Super Bowl 29 in 1995.

Norton actually has FOUR rings, because he was a coach for the Seattle Seahawks when they won Super Bowl 48 in 2014.

One other player ALMOST won three Super Bowls in a row.  Offensive lineman Russ Hochstein played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2002, but he got cut in October, just three months before the Bucs won it all.

The next two years, he played for the New England Patriots, and got two rings.
