Patrick Mahomes: It’s ‘special’ Chiefs are advancing to second straight Super Bowl
The Kansas City Chiefs edged past the Baltimore Ravens to reach the Super Bowl for the fourth time in the last five years.
Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes willed the Chiefs past Lamar Jackson to play in Super Bowl 58, where they face the San Francisco 49ers.
“You don’t take it for granted,” said Mahomes via ESPN. “You never know how many you’re going to get to or if you’re going to get to any. So it truly is special just to do it with these guys after what we’ve been through all season long. Guys coming together, it really is special. But I told them, ‘The job’s not done.’ Our job now is to prepare ourselves to play a good football team in the Super Bowl and try to get that ring.”
Although the Chiefs dealt with lingering questions concerning their wide receiver play, the team won three straight games to return to the grandest stage to vie to become the first franchise since the 2004 New England Patriots to become back-to-back Super Bowl champions.
It hasn’t been a smooth road for the Chiefs, but they did enough to inch past the Ravens to reach the Super Bowl.

Kansas City now has a tough matchup against San Francisco, who is looking to avenge the Super Bowl 54 matchup. The Chiefs managed to erase a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to capture their first championship with Mahomes under center.
The 49ers are coming off a comeback win in the NFC Championship Game, where they overcame a 17-point deficit in the second half to outlast the Detroit Lions.
