Look, I thought it was neat when the Chiefs made the AFC Championship in both 2018 and 2019. There were so many "wow this is incredible but we know it's unsustainable, but that's so cool" stats. And then the Chiefs have just...sustained them?
Like I made this same post last year, assuming that given how parity is the norm, injuries are unpredictable, it's so damn hard to repeat, etc. that Mahomes & Co. can't just keep doing this. As any other fan would tell you: "They can't keep getting away with it!" And instead of having a down year, they just continue to roll, building this resume:
Super Bowl Teams (AFC, NFC) Since 2019:
2019: Chiefs, 49ers
2020: Chiefs, Bucs
2021: Bengals, Rams
2022: Chiefs, Eagles
2023: Chiefs, 49ers
2024: Chiefs, Eagles
(The 2018 and 2021 Chiefs lost the AFC Championship game in overtime.)

This chart is going to be outdated in 2 weeks:
LIX brings the Chiefs to 7 appearances. It brings Mahomes to 5 appearances.
Chiefs are 6th out of 32 NFL teams in SB appearances.
Mahomes by himself is tied for 7th out of 32 NFL teams.
Four teams have 0 SB appearances. We don't have to name names.

Here's the list of QBs with more Super Bowl appearances than Patrick Mahomes:
Tom Brady
Here's the list of QBs with more playoff wins than Patrick Mahomes:
Tom Brady

Joe Montana was the Gold Standard unquestioned top quarterback of the 20th century.
At the age of 29, Patrick Mahomes has surpassed Joe Montana in both Super Bowl appearances and playoff wins.

Reid is up to 28 playoff wins with one more playoff game this year.
Belichick is out of the NFL with 31.
Reid already has the record for most seasons making the playoffs.

Just last week, I looked at a post by a Bills fan that intentionally omitted 4 of Mahomes playoff wins and one of Allen's losses by starting the timeframe at 2020...but in that post, it showed that 4 QBs in the AFC were 16-0 against any other QB.
So let's see the Super Bowl records of this Big 4:
Mahomes: 3-1, with one pending
Burrow: 0-1
Allen: n/a
Lamar: n/a
This is the Big 4. Mahomes with 5 SB appearances, and the other 3 have one combined.

There's all this talk about the three-peat and rightfully so... but it's kind of funny that Mahomes/Kelce/Reid/Jones/Spags already have 3 rings. They're going for their 4th.

Super Bowl LIV changed my life.
Super Bowl LIX would be history.
