How many threepeats have there been Super Bowl history? The answer is none. Teams have gone back-to-back before. There have been some who’ve won three in five years. But no one has ever won three straight.

It isn’t because the Eagles are better than the team that should have won that Super Bowl a couple years ago: their 17 combined wins are a franchise record. It’s because they’re the best and most complete team still remaining, by far. And they’re uniquely prepared for this moment.
