Patrick Mahomes is chasing something that has never been done in 56 years of NFL’s history: a three-peat. Regardless of the controversy surrounding officiating in the Kansas City Chiefs games, the team has resilently proven that if anyone can do achieve it, it’s them. 

The franchise hit a jackpot when they drafted Mahomes seven years ago, as he not only led them to three Super Bowl trophies, two back-to-back, but also to seven consecutive AFC Championship game appearances. Given his remarkable achievements, Mahomes is widely regarded as the face of the NFL– a title once held by the winningest quarterback of all time, Tom Brady.

With seven Super Bowl rings to his game, Brady remains the greatest quarterback ever seen in gridiron. However, Stephen A. Smith boldly claiming that if Mahomes succeed in achieving the unprecedented feat of three consecutive Super Bowl victories, he would surpass Brady and be regarded as the greatest of all time.

Tom Brady didn’t even win back-to-back-to-back Super Bowl titles. It would be huge for the sport. It would be huge for the city. It would be huge for the franchise. It would cement Patrick Mahomes as the greatest QB in history of the National Football League.

Everything that Mahomes has achieved until now, Brady has accomplished even higher accolades, except for three-peat as Smith highlighted. Though it could be stretch to say he would become NFL GOAT with it, he would certainly solidify his case for it.

Patrick Mahomes prioritizes victory over records

While the entire NFL community is talking about the three-peat, the Chiefs locker room isn’t fixated or blinded by it as Travis Kelce emphaized before the divisional round game. The Chiefs’ primary priority has always been winning games, which the elite quarterback has often articulated. 

At the end of the day, I want to win, and however we have to win the football game, I’m good with it. If that’s scoring a lot of touchdowns, not scoring touchdowns, if that’s running the football — whatever it is, if it’s just playing defense to win football games — I just want to win.

During playoff games as well as other high-leverage moments, the quarterback focuses on making the plays happen which means he would give up a few yards and touchdown passes while avoiding the mistake of turnovers at any cost. And it seems to have worked well for them as the Chiefs head to their seventh straight AFC Championship game against their long-time rival, the Buffalo Bills.
