Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes says it would be ‘legendary’ to three-peat
The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off becoming the first team to win back-to-back Super Bowls in two decades.
However, that hasn’t stopped star quarterback Patrick Mahomes from already looking ahead to making the Chiefs the first team to win three straight championships.
“It [would be] legendary,” quarterback Patrick Mahomes said Monday of a three-peat via ESPN. “No one’s ever done it, and we knew it’s legendary to win back-to-back. I think eight other teams have done it. We had heard it all week. We had talked to the guys [who had gone back-to-back] about it, and we felt like we had the best opportunity that we had ever had to go out there and do that.
“We’ve got to continue to play our best football. We’ll celebrate these next few weeks, and then we’ll get right back at it.”
The Chiefs are the fourth franchise to capture three Super Bowl wins in five years. However, Mahomes and Kansas City are aiming toward territory that has never been accomplished in league history.
The organization certainly has the right quarterback to make those aspirations realistic. Mahomes has already etched himself in NFL history as one of the greatest players.

He is on a short list of players to win three Super Bowls, a pair of regular-season MVPs, and three Super Bowl MVPs. Mahomes is a one-of-a-kind talent who has the ability to put the team on his back to lead them to success.
It’s going to take much more than him to accomplish that lofty goal, but the path is there ahead.
