By winning the Super Bowl 58, Patrick Mahomes and Co. have not only etched their names as the second-consecutive winner of the Super Bowl but also have given the franchise a golden chance to create a historical record with the Chiefs name on it that no team has created since the very inception of the NFL: a 3-peat. No team in the NFL has won the Super Bowl three consecutive times. Now that Patrick Mahomes and Co. have a chance to do so, the road would be equally tough as the sweet, sweet acclaim that would come with it.
However, a record this big would also entitle them to competitors of that caliber. While other teams in the NFL are already vigilant and doing their best, one team, the Los Angeles Chargers, is yet to uncover its potential as it is under re-designing. Jim Harbaugh’s taking over as the head coach of the Chargers has given a pivotal swivel to the franchise’s history. Harbaugh’s success at his alma mater Michigan was evident, as even after being dragged through mud, he emerged victorious with a National Championship win. A win against one of the best coaches college football has witnessed, Nick Saban. Soon after the loss, Saban announced his retirement, which many speculate was because of a loss against Jim Harbaugh.

Davis Droegemeier, a guest on ‘Locked up with Chargers’ agreed to the speculation, saying that, “He (Jim Harbaugh) just ended Nick Saban’s Dynasty. He just made him retire, I mean that’s he’s played in the biggest game. He’s shown now that he can win those big games.” Sure enough, Harbaugh’s record with the 49ers shows how much of a cutting-edge performance he can put out. However, the road for Jim Harbaugh to stop the Chiefs from getting to their next Super Bowl game would finalize at the AFC Championship game, as both belong to the same conference.

Jim Haraugh’s Super Bowl dream

Jim Harbaugh, managing to beat the unstoppable thus far, Patrick Mahomes and Co. would be the first step towards him achieving his unfulfilled Super Bowl goal. Along with this, if the Chargers are to win the AFC Championship, it would also mean that he has defeated his brother John Harbaugh’s team Ravens from achieving to the Super Bowl, as he lost the Super Bowl to the Ravens in 2012.
