Back-to-Back Wins Bump Kansas City Chiefs to Super Bowl Top 3

The Kansas City Chiefs won their second Super Bowl in a row at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nev., Sunday, catapulting them into the top three of NFL teams with the most wins in the competition. At four wins, they now have as many to their name as the New York Giants and the Green Day Packers. At six tries, the Chiefs boast a better participations-to-wins ratio than some other teams with an equal number or more wins, including the San Francisco 49ers and the New England Patriots.

There are still four teams – the Cleveland Browns, the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Detroit Lions and the Houston Texans – which have never played the Super Bowl, and 12 which have never won the game. Jacksonville and Houston only joined the competition in 1995 and 2002, respectively.

The below chart lists the home city of teams by where they won most Super Bowls. Three teams celebrated wins with different names: The Los Angeles Raiders last won the Super Bowl in 1984, but they were also victorious in 1981 and 1977 as the Oakland Raiders. The team returned to the Oakland Raiders name in 1995 and has been called the Las Vegas Raiders since the 2020 season. The Indianapolis Colts won in 2007 under their current name and in 1971 under their old name, the Baltimore Colts. The Los Angeles Rams won in 2022 and in the year 2000 during an intermezzo as the St. Louis Rams.

Tiger Woods and Nike End Iconic Partnership After 27 Years

More than 27 years after a 20-year-old golfing hotshot named Tiger Woods signed a $40-million endorsement deal with Nike, one of the most iconic partnerships in sports has come to an end. On Monday, Tiger Woods took to his social media accounts to announce the long-rumored split and express his gratitude to Nike founder Phil Knight and the employees and athletes he worked with over the past three decades. Nike responded by posting a classic shot of Tiger clad in his iconic Sunday red polo along with the tagline: “It was a hell of a round, Tiger.”

With respect to his own future, Woods wrote: “People will ask if there is another chapter. Yes, there will certainly be another chapter.” And while it’s hard to imagine Tiger Woods walking the fairways dressed in anything else than Nike, we all witnessed Roger Federer ending his career wearing Uniqlo gear and shoes from Swiss brand On – something that seemed impossible just a few years earlier. Speaking of Federer, the Swiss’s long-term partnership with Nike is probably one of the few that matches or eclipses the legacy that Woods and Nike built together. That is of course behind the gold standard for all athlete endorsement deals: the Jordan brand, which is bringing in billions in sales for Nike every year, even 20 years after Michael Jordan retired for good.

As our chart shows, Nike’s golf division has never cracked the billion-dollar mark in terms of annual sales. According to the company’s annual reports, Nike Golf revenue peaked just shy of $800 million in fiscal 2013, before dropping below $600 million in 2017, after which Nike stopped breaking out revenue figures for its golf business. For Tiger Woods, his partnership with the Swoosh paid of handsomely as well. According to media reports, his four contracts with the Oregon-based sportswear giant were worth at least $500 million over the past 27 years.
