Patrick Mahomes, a three-time champion with the Kansas City Chiefs, recalled that as a child, he disliked the New England Patriots dynasty. Now, he understands why people might dislike the winning era of the team he leads. Mahomes was a fan of the Cowboys and hated the Patriots, but he now appreciates their greatness because he sees how difficult it was to achieve what they did.
The Kansas City Chiefs, who are the American Conference champions, recently appeared at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, where they will play against the Philadelphia Eagles for the NFL title. Mahomes is seeking to lead his team to become the first to win three consecutive Super Bowls. He referred to the dynasty built by the Patriots with Tom Brady as their quarterback, who won six Super Bowls in the first two decades of this century.
Mahomes, who is now the guide of this new dynasty, said he has received advice from Brady, who works as a star analyst at a television network. He added that he has learned a lot from Brady’s advice and listens to him during his broadcasts. Being part of one of the most hated teams has made them stronger, according to Mahomes. When people are against them, they become a brotherhood, knowing they are doing things the right way and can achieve success again if they remain united on and off the field.
Travis Kelce, a teammate of Mahomes, shared similar thoughts when speaking to the media. He said that the upcoming game is the most important of their lives, and many people want them to lose. Kelce, who is the boyfriend of pop star Taylor Swift, emphasized the significance of the game and the desire of others to see them fail.
Andy Reid, the coach of the Chiefs, noted that having defeated the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII two years ago does not guarantee a new triumph for his team. He stated that it is an honor to play against the Eagles again and acknowledged that they are one of the two best teams remaining. Reid praised the Eagles’ coach, Nick Sirianni, for bringing his team back to the big game, and he looks forward to the challenge ahead.
