Good morning, readers! Gosh, am I thrilled to bring you this news.

On Thursday AM, we’ll publish the work of one of the absolute best pro football writers to ever do it.

The immaculate Michael MacCambridge authors a three-part, 13,800-word series on the quest to three-peat. Hopefully you’ve had a chance to read one of MacCambridge’s books. We’ve said it before, so let’s say it again: “America’s Game: The Epic Story of How Pro Football Captured A Nation” is the greatest football book of our time. (You can purchase it here. “The Big Time: How the 1970s Transformed Sports in America” is also a must-read.)

For Go Long, MacCambridge spent the entire summer figuring out why no team in NFL history has completed a three-peat in the Super Bowl Era. His reporting is exhaustive and his writing is always top-notch. MacCambridge speaks at length to some of the greatest coaches, players and execs in league history. From “Mean Joe” Greene to Tedy Bruschi to Ron Wolf, all interviewed are remarkably candid and insightful.

Eight teams in the Super Bowl era have gone back-to-back. None completed the trifecta.

Can the Kansas City Chiefs write history in 2024?

MacCambridge guides you through history as only he can. Much like “America’s Game,” you’ll feel like you’re traveling back in time. And, of course, you’ll get a sharp look ahead to this season, to whether Patrick Mahomes hoists the Lombardi Trophy again.

This series is available in its entirety to Go Long paid subscribers.
