Chiefs to Super Bowl LVIII

Before I begin, this is not a cherry-picked hot streak. This is the entirety of Mahomes career:

2018: Loss in AFC Championship, Overtime to Patriots
2019: Win in Super Bowl LIV, over 49ers
2020: Loss in Super Bowl LV, to Bucs
2021: Loss in AFC Championship, Overtime to Bengals
2022: Win in Super Bowl LVII, over Eagles
2023: Appearing in Super Bowl LVIII

6 seasons. 4 Super Bowl appearances. 
With Mahomes, the Chiefs have a 66% chance of going to the Super Bowl. 

6 seasons. 14 playoff wins and counting. 
Here are the quarterbacks with more playoff wins than Mahomes: Tom Brady and Joe Montana. 

The floor with Mahomes is overtime in the AFC Championship. That's the WORST it's been in his career. The best is two rings with a chance to go three rings in six seasons.

14-3 in the playoffs. 
This franchise went from 1-10 in the playoffs in the 25 years before Mahomes, to 14-3 in the playoffs with him. 

People like to throw the term "generational quarterback" around a lot. Go back to the list of QBs with more playoff wins. 

Joe Montana born 1956
Tom Brady born 1977
Patrick Mahomes born 1995

This is the list of generational quarterbacks.

- - -

Reid is up to 25 playoff wins, trailing Belichick only by 6. 

- - -

Lamar is now 2-4 in the playoffs. 

His wins were over a 4-seed Titans in the Wild-Card Round and over the 4-seed Texans in the Divisional Round. 

- - -

We're going to 4 Super Bowls in 5 years. There should be a word for that...

- - -

This Super Bowl is being played in Las Vegas.

The Chiefs are 4-0 in this stadium. 


For years, ever since LVIII was announced, Chiefs fans have been talking about how good it would be to win the Super Bowl on the Raiders home field. Now we've got a chance.
