The Eagles move back to the top 10.
Philly now has ten wins and eight losses in championship games (including conference and old league trophies). This ties them with Washington. They are also tied for ninth for total championship appearances, with 18. This tie includes Washington, Kansas City, and Denver.
The highest Philly has been is number three in the 1949, 1950 and 1951 era - behind Chicago and Green Bay. Kansas City is 12 and 6, putting them sixth on the GOAT list. In 1969 they were third. There is a reason the AFC trophy is named for Lamar Hunt,
The Commanders had a long stint at number 3 in the early part of the millennium. Something tells me that they were left hungry this year (had they not played, they would have been 10 and 7, ranking lower in total appearances but better in trophy standings). The Rams and Bills also have something to prove, with the latter having quite a slog ahead of them to get into the top 10. (The Rams were #10 in 2021).
The game callers noted that only Green Bay has three straight championships. Actually, if you look at trophies - they have five straight (3 NFL, 2 Super Bowl). So do the Chiefs. If they had won, they would have had six in a three year period.
These GOATS are old.
