On Sunday, star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs advanced to their fourth Super Bowl appearance in five years with a narrow 17-10 road win over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game. Although Mahomes didn't necessarily produce eye-popping stats in this game, he still came up huge when the Chiefs needed him the most, including an incredible throw on the final drive to move the chains and ice the game for Kansas City.
Waiting for the Chiefs in Las Vegas for the Super Bowl on February 11 will be none other than the Chiefs' 2019-20 Super Bowl opponent, the San Francisco 49ers, who used a comeback victory against the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship Game to earn their spot in the big game.
Now, Mahomes is getting one hundred percent real about facing the 49ers again and what challenges they present as a team.
“They’ve won a lot of games for a reason: They have great players and a great coached team,” said Mahomes, per Cam Inman of The Mercury News.
The 49ers did indeed win a lot of games during the 2023-24 campaign; however, the NFC juggernauts looked quite vulnerable in each of their first two playoff games, having to rally back from deficits against both the Lions and the Green Bay Packers in the divisional round.
In any case, this certainly has the makings of what projects to be an all-time great game, with Patrick Mahomes looking to win the third ring of his relatively young career. The Super Bowl is set to kick off at 6:30 PM ET on February 11.
