The Kansas City Chiefs failed in the attempt to create the first three peat in Super Bowl history in the NFL, crashed because of the Philadelphia Eagles (22:40). The GOAT debate should now be laid. A comment.
It should be the first three peat of the super bowl era. It would have been the fourth Super Bowl triumph for Patrick Mahomes, who would have come to four titles faster than a certain Tom Brady, who only sagged the fourth of his seven rings after two bankruptcies. In addition, many an expert or TV talker had already caught the ultimate Dynasty comparison in order to appoint the chiefs as the greatest.
But you should now put all of this. No, Mahomes is not the new Goat (Greatest of All Time), the chiefs are not the greatest dynasty in the NFL story. Sorry, Chiefs -Fecht and fans, but after such a clear package in the Super Bowl, these are still Brady and the New England Patriots, who have won six titles in 18 years or seven titles as a whole when we talk about Brady.
The Patriots and Brady even lost three super bowls in the period, but they did so with a total point difference of just 15 points. The highest defeat was a 33:41 against the Eagles in Super Bowl Lii.
Mahomes and the chiefs have already put their second bitter clap in the Big Game. This time there were 18 points difference. And only because Mahomes in the Garbage Time did considerable cosmetic results at the very end. Until shortly before the end of the third quarter, they had zero points in the account.
Mahomes stays behind Brady
After the 2020 season they even lost 9:31 against Brady and the Buccaners. And that in turn is another important factor in the Goat debate – Mahomes played twice against Brady in the playoffs and lost twice. In this respect, not only is the way it has appeared in Super Bowls as a whole, but also the direct comparison to the true Goat.
Mahomes has now thrown 7 Interceptions in five Super Bowls. Brady made a total of six picks – in ten super bowls!
This should not reduce the outstanding performance of Mahomes in his first seven years as a starter in the NFL in any way. He stood in each of these years in the AFC Championship Game and managed to win a total of nine playoff games in a row from 2022 to 2024. Only one team in the history of the NFL brought it to ten-the Patriots (2001-2005) . And so far, Mahomes has only lost four playoff games as a whole.
In the Super Bowl Lix, however, the chiefs were completely overwhelmed and Mahomes, who for the first time conceded 6 sacks in one game, did not cope with the pressure of the Eagles defense. He made various mistakes that went beyond his three gymnastics. After the game, Mahomes admitted that the defeat also went on his cap. That in turn speaks for him, because of course he could have pointed to his weak offensive line.
Chiefs-dynasty can go on
However, it should be said that New Orlean’s bankruptcy does not mean that the Chiefs dynasty has already ended. You will surely come back.
Mahomes turns 30 in September and has a few more years in the tank, and Head Coach Andy Reid (67 in March) has already made it clear that he would continue. Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo (65) will also remain on board and so the most important people are still there – whether Travis Kelce is on the crowd on Sunday, at least seemed questionable before the game on Sunday. But the end may be achieved purely sporty for him anyway.
Ultimately, the chiefs primarily need a new Left Tackle and again better receivers. Otherwise there is little to speak against the fact that you can continue to be dominant, especially if there is no one in the AFC that really puts you under pressure.
Mahomes is also a century player and will surely go into history as the best quarterback in his era – his admission to the Hall of Fame is already guaranteed. But when it comes to who is the biggest quarterback of all NFL times, the man who commented on the game on Sunday for the American TV station Fox has clearly better arguments. Especially after this bad idea of Mahomes and his chiefs.
