Patrick Mahomes finds himself in a similar situation to Tom Brady’s past and failed to capitalize on it.

Fresh off their back-to-back Super Bowl victories, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs begin this season in a position few teams have ever achieved. The last team to do so was Tom Brady’sNew England Patriots in 2006. That season ended in a playoff loss to the Denver Broncos, marking Brady’s first postseason defeat and ending the Patriots’ record ten-game postseason winning streak. Now, with the possibility of a three-peat on the horizon, the question arises: Could Mahomes, with four titles, and a three-peat be considered the NFL’s GOAT, rivaling Brady?

On Fox’s “First Things First,” where Tom Brady will soon be broadcasting, analysts discussed the chances of other AFC West teams dethroning the Chiefs, who have dominated the division since 2016, even with Alex Smith as their quarterback. Analyst Chris Broussard emphatically stated, “No, next question,” dismissing the Broncos, Raiders, and Chargers’ chances. Indeed, the Chiefs boast an even stronger roster than last season. Despite Mahomes having his worst statistical season, the Chiefs still finished three games ahead of the second-place Raiders.
