Did you know, Patrick Mahomes is set to become the first quarterback under 30 in NFL history to start five Super Bowls? Yeah, that’s right. Mahomes is locked in and has already manifested his prediction to be contending for a third consecutive Super Bowl. And guess what? It’s happening. “I promise you next year we’ll be at home and we’re going for that three-peat, so don’t get it twisted, we’re doing it. Three times, first time in NFL history, we’re doing it.” Mahomes said this at their 2024 Super Bowl celebration rally. Man, what the he-k is this manifestation? It’s real. As the Chiefs head to New Orleans, his running back has warned the Eagles about the QB’s drive.
Mahomes’ close mate Kareem Hunt was at the press conference Thursday. And when one reporter asked what makes Patrick Mahomes different, all he said was nothing but the truth. The Chiefs RB said, “I mean, he might be the most competitive person I have ever met. So… I know he hates losing, I know I hate losing. And when he puts mind to that, he just goes out there and does it.” Hunt added, “You know, whatever he takes, running, throwing, getting tackles and throwing the ball. He’s one of those guys who never gonna give up on play.” But, complementary to this, what a reporter of NYT’s Athletic has revealed is scarier for the Eagles than this heartfelt praise for Patrick Mahomes.
The Athletic revealed on LinkedIn what the Chiefs offensive coordinator thinks about Patrick Mahomes’ winning mentality. After the Bills win, Chiefs OC Matt Nagy said, “Pat is slowly turning into his superhero creature tonight.” He also added, “Tonight at the hotel we speak. He creates an edge and becomes a different person as he gets locked in. Has that look in his eyes tonight that normal people don’t have.” OKAY. Then fans better be ready to be glued to their seats while watching the Super Bowl.

The head coach of the Chiefs was addressing the press conference Thursday. And when he was asked about the focus and consistency Patrick Mahomes has for the playoffs, Andy Reid said, “He’s good with that.” The 66-year-old continued, “You can see, as the season builds up, he’s even more focused and more focused. At this time of the year, he is really locked in.” And people have seen the proof of this when threw that diving touchdown to Travis Kelce when his legs were locked up by the Texans defender in the divisional round. We have also seen his dynamic backhand first down in the Bills game.
But as the Chiefs are really close to winning a three-peat, Andy Reid has also sent a message to his team earlier this week. The HC’s message to the team was revealed by the Chiefs center Creed Humphrey when he was on The Rich Eisen Show on Wednesday. Humphrey recalled, “For us, we don’t have much left in the season. There are less than two weeks left in the season. So, sacrifice what you are willing to sacrifice to be able to put yourself in the best position. So, that’s kind of our big message right now.” And he also added, “Let’s do everything you can and leave it all on the line for this game. And don’t have any regrets after the game.” The whole team is in beast mode.
