Take Tyreek Hill out of this team and see what happens to Mahomes. Ty catches a 1 yd pass, makes it 40 yds and all we hear is “Amazing pass from Mahomes”.

Mahomes, Allen, Herbert, (maybe) Lamar, all better. In NFC give me Rodgers, Stafford, Russ, and Dak. I like Burrow but the recency bias is off the chains rn. He wasn’t dominant in the playoffs his defense was, no one was talking ab him like this before.

I think the fact that he pulled it off is why he is viewed as so great.

It does not content netizens with the way media sections and analysts have been placing the athletes; however, we should see things on the sunny side as well. Joe Burrow has set up himself as a star performer in his second season; He raised that team towards the Super Bowl street, which once belonged in the lowest rank. This isn’t the last time we see Patrick Mahomes as well; He has a lot of gas left in the tank as well. There can be another Super Bowl victory for the Chiefs under his reign as well.
