First off, let's talk trash talk.  The Philadelphia Eagles were not impressed by the Chiefs' arrogance.  They felt the term "three-peat" was a bold move and was meant to rattle the Eagles'

    The term did not originate from the Chiefs, but from basketball coach Pat Riley.    The Chiefs approached Riley for permission to use the term and his name to sell “three-peat” merchandise.

    During the time of the football championship, now known as the Superbowl, the Eagles were set to play. Their defensive tackle, Milton Williams, expressed his irritation at the Chiefs claiming a three-peat.

    Williams was quoted,

    ""Definitely.  They claimed the right to use the term and all that useless talk.  It topped themself off"".

    A different Eagles player expressed that the Eagles weren't happy with the Chiefs' plans to celebrate a three-peat, saying the Eagles wanted a sporting chance.

    The term "three-peat" is not new, and it was trademarked by Pat Riley when he was the coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers team was going for the third consecutive NBA title.  Many have been made aware of the ongoing argument for the  third consecutive win over time

    Many people say this was meant to intimidate the Eagles to ruffle their feathers.  "The Eagles weren't happy about these plans.  This was about athletes coming together for an important game - not  before trash talk.

    The Eagles were motivated to play well.  They wanted to shut down the Chiefs' confidence.  The Eagles were clear they did not want the Chiefs to celebrate a "three-peat"

    The Eagles bested the Chiefs and made sure the three-peat merchandise was never sold.  It was a team effort.  The Eagles players and team worked hard to win.  They wanted to the win, so the Chiefs did not win.  It was time to work.
