Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl Repeat On The Cards

The Kansas City Chiefs will aim to become the first team to retain the Super Bowl in almost 20 years on February 7th.

The back-to-back AFC Champions beat the Buffalo Bills 38 – 24 on Sunday to earn a matchup with Tom Brady’s Bucs.

Brady’s Patriots were the last team to win consecutive Super Bowls in 2003 and 2004. Getting the edge over the great Tom Brady would be a scalp for the budding legend of Patrick Mahomes.

The football commentariat were sweating the fitness of Mahomes before the game. The Kansas City Chiefs however, were not.

Mahomes had to navigate the NFL’s concussion protocol as well as an injured toe in preparation for the game. He finished with 29-of-38 for 375 yards and three touchdowns.

While his five attempts for five yards show he didn’t run much, he didn’t need to. He finished the game with a 127.6 passer rating. 

“I think the trainers and he had a good plan for the toe,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said.

“That was an amazing looking thing after our last game. And how black and blue it was. Within a day, the trainers and Pat, with his diligence of taking care of business at his home too, with the game-ready machine, they were able to get that swelling and black and blue out, which really allowed him to recover quite a bit quicker.”

“I felt good from the warmups on. We did a good job as far as rehabbing, getting myself ready to go,” Mahomes said. 

“I feel like I was myself out there and we were able to go out there and score points and find a way to win against a really good football team.”
