Obviously, Mahomes was asked about his thoughts on this matter after the win against the 49ers. Nevertheless, the Chiefs player knows there’s one main reason that may never end this debate.

“To me, it’s always going to be tough because Brady beat me in a Super Bowl,” Mahomes told NFL Media. “That’s the one thing he’ll always have on my head. It gives me something to strive for every single day is chasing greatness. Whenever I’m tired and I don’t want to work out, I know I have to do it in order to be in moments like this.”
