The Chiefs became only the eighth team to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy back-to-back, having subdued the 49ers on Sunday.
This victory adds to their growing collection, totaling three Super Bowl wins in the past five years.
However, despite this extraordinary accomplishment, Reid remains reserved when assigning the term “dynasty" to his team. “How you write it will be how you write it," Reid stated nonchalantly.
"Whether it’s a dynasty — we won’t determine if it’s a dynasty, you guys do. But I would tell you that it’s as fine a group as I’ve been around and I’ve been very fortunate, been around some great organizations, good teams. This group here and the organization are tremendous.
"If somebody said dynasty, tagged it onto it, I would be very proud of that."

Titans in the making or the true torchbearers of NFL, the Chiefs" tale is still to be fully written.
The Kansas City Chiefs have a unique opportunity to enter uncharted territories by clinching a third consecutive Super Bowl victory.
This idea, seemingly on Reid"s mind, was framed as a question to the Chiefs" executive VP of communications, Ted Crews.
The coach"s candid query and Crews" affirmation that no team has accomplished this to date elicited mild amusement among the press.
"Yeah, that’d be something. I just asked that to this guy right here, Ted [Crews, Chiefs executive VP of communications], has anybody won it three times? And he goes, ‘No.’ I said, ‘Alright,’" Reid said, eliciting some laughter from the assembled press.
"You know, we’ll see," Reid continued. "We’ve got great competition in the AFC West. We just had some hirings, coaching hirings, and these guys are good football coaches with good quarterbacks, good teams. So, it’s not going to just be easy. That’s now how this thing rolls. We’ll have changeover on our team, which every team has. So you don’t know what’s there — there’s a whole lot of unexpected. And you’ve got to keep battling through it, have a good offseason, and then good training camp. And then that ball’s shaped kinda funny, so it’s got to bounce for you in the right direction."
While the prospect of making such a historic achievement is undeniably enticing, Reid downplays the focus on this approaching milestone.
"But I think that would be pretty neat — neat thing to do," Reid said. "But you don’t really go there when you’re in this thing. You go back to your dark room, and the film, and the draft coming up, and the combine — all those things, that’s kind of where you go. And you’re not talking three-peat. Well, I mean, some guys do. But, it would be great."
Rather than dwelling on the chance of turning a historical page in the NFL annals, Reid insists on a more grounded, present-focused approach.
