Former hated AFC West rival is letting everyone know the truth about Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes
There was much more riding on this game than just any other Super Bowl, especially for the Kansas City Chiefs.

There was much more riding on this game than just any other Super Bowl, especially for the Kansas City Chiefs. We all know about the fact that the Chiefs were trying to be the first team to ever three-peat. That's enough pressure — doing something that had quite literally never been done by any team before. This win over the Philadelphia Eagles would have submitted the Chiefs as the greatest dynasty ever.
But there were other things on the line, too, things that can really drive a team or an individual insane because you know you have to be perfect, or you think that, anyway. Patrick Mahomes is the greatest quarterback in his 20s of all time. He has accomplished everything in his 20s what most legends do in their 30s, when they finally start figuring out how to win.
This win was more about Patrick Mahomes doing something that Tom Brady had never done — a three-peat. This is what would have really closed the gap between him and Brady. But, obviously, with a loss that doesn't happen.
Now, that doesn't mean Mahomes has no shot at becoming the goat, but, it's certainly going to make things harder. Some are saying this game almost tarnishes Mahome's legacy, which is just crazy. But one of his supposed to be most hated rivals is correcting everyone, and telling the truth when it comes to Mahomes.
"How you gonna say Patrick Mahomes is not the GOAT just for one bad game. It be the guys that never played making this stuff up." – Chris Harris Jr., former Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers defensive back
Losing a game in the Super Bowl, and having a bad game in the Super Bowl, does not mean your legacy is tarnished, or that you can never catch Brady. You will hear people say "Well Brady never got beat that bad in the Super Bowl," yeah because he got beat badly plenty of times in the games before the Super Bowl.
This discourse and narrative against Mahomes is so crazy right now. The saying "Either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain," is spot on with Mahomes these last two years or so.
