Although the Chicago Bears can’t escape their own way, they remain a special franchise. In fact, the Bears are a cornerstone Betting on NFL franchise. Someday, fortune will have to smile on the Bears. But it’s doubtful success is coming any time soon. So, too, are the Kansas City Chiefs a legacy franchise. AFL founder Lamar Hunt owned the Chiefs and built them into a powerhouse in those early days. Now, the Chiefs have two Super Bowl wins in the past four years. Of great concern is that such runs eventually run out of steam.
