Things for Mahomes/Chiefs to Achieve

I promise this is not sour grapes or arrogance. I always said I'd be happy with one title and I am. This is just things that would be neat to see. Some bucket list stuff for Mahomes and the Chiefs to aim high for. 

• Franchise Record for Wins in a Regular Season is currently 13
• Best Franchise Regular Season winning percentage is .846 (11-2-1)

    Going 14-2 in a 16 game schedule would secure both of those. The 2019 Chiefs actually broke the record for combined regular seasons + playoff wins. The previous record was 14 from winning Super Bowl IV, because all three times they went 13-3 since then, and this is true they lost their first playoff game. If they don't get to 14-2 this year, they would have to get to 15-2 in a 17 game schedule to surpass 11-2-1. 

Here are the AFC West Super Bowl Wins Standings:

Broncos & Raiders: 3

Chiefs: 2

Chargers: 0

So one more ring to tie the Broncos and Raiders. Two more to surpass them. 

Once you get past them, here are all the teams with 4 or more Super Bowl Wins:

Patriots & Steelers: 6

Cowboys & 49ers: 5

Packers & Giants: 4

That's the whole list. So win two more and you join the top 7 teams in the league. Win three more and you're in the top 5. Win four more and you're in the top tier. 

(What's wild is that for Mahomes to match Brady is actually further out of reach than taking Chiefs to match the Patriots/Steelers.)

In addition to rings, some people pay attention to NFL MVP awards. Here's the list of players to win that 3 or more times:

Jim Brown: 3

Johnny Unitas: 3

Brett Favre: 3

Peyton Manning: 5

Tom Brady: 3

At this point in the year, it's possible that Aaron Rodgers joins that list by winning his 3rd this year. Or Mahomes could win his 2nd, going 2 out of 3. 

I'm also excited to see Andy Reid reach the Mount Rushmore of wins, and climb to #2 in playoff wins.
