Super Bowl LVIII News: Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes Join Tom Brady and Bill Belichick to Make NFL History

With the arrival of the ultimate result, Super Bowl LVIII offered many possible records and feats. But after hours of grappling for the title and the opportunity to rewrite history, two of the NFL’s celebrated names, Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, stood to make the offer theirs, mainly of those backing them.

The Super Bowl LVIII was nothing short of a spectacle, filled with thrills to the brink. The 49ers took the early lead, hoping to clinch their first win since 1995. However, the Kansas City Chiefs returned to deliver a record and etch history.

Super Bowl LVIII presents a record for the Chiefs

It was the fourth time the Kansas City Chiefs headed to the Super Bowl in the last five years. After securing two wins out of the lot, the Chiefs clinched their third recent win and second consecutive one, going 25-22. In doing so, they became the only team since 2003-2004 to win back-to-back championships. This makes the ever-consistent Patrick Mahomes and coach Andy Reid the only ones to join Tom Brady, the Patriots, and coach Bill Belichick in attaining the feat.

In Super Bowl XXXVIII, Tom Brady and Bill Belichick led the New England Patriots to victory against the Carolina Panthers 32-29 at Reliant Stadium in Houston. The following year, the duo and the team again soared high over the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21. Last year, at Super Bowl LVII, the Chiefs, led by Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 35-38, thus etching today’s history with tears and celebrations.

The Super Bowl witnessed just the second overtime in its history when the Chiefs clashed against the 49ers. When the latter started strong, the game looked well on its court. However, it was soon a game of thrill and anticipation as the Chiefs raced to catch to take overtime. Given the opportunity, Patrick Mahomes rose to heights, bringing the team well off.

The run also earned him a third and second consecutive Super Bowl MVP award. He joins Tom Brady on top with five and Joe Montana with three. Andy Reid joins Joe Gibbs and Bill Walsh for the third-most Super Bowl titles by a head coach.
