After claiming the Super Bowl LIV on a 31-20 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, the Kansas City Chiefs now have a huge target on their backs. Star playmaker Patrick Mahomes deflects the credit when asked about their recent success.
He pointed out that Chiefs' main tactician Andy Reid and his staff played a big role in capturing their second Super Bowl trophy.
Here is Mahomes' statement in an interview on NFL Total Access:
“I think that's a tribute to the coaches and them playing to the strengths of their players,” Mahomes said about the Chiefs' coach. “And I think coach Reid does a great job of that, of playing to the strengths of all of us. Not just me, but [Travis] Kelce and Tyreek [Hill] and Sammy [Watkins] and all those guys. He plays to our strengths and if you look across the league, it's not every single offense is the same. You see offenses like Baltimore, you see offenses like ours, you see San Francisco. All these offenses are playing to the strengths of their players and I feel like that's why you see the success that the offenses are having of late.”
Brilliant things have happened ever since Mahomes took the starting job two years ago. In his brief stint thus far, Mahomes has led the Chiefs to an NFL-best 31.8 points per game. The 2018 NFL MVP also contributed to an all-time-best 76 touchdowns in his first 31 starts.
With the recent signing of Mahomes' mega-deal, it is safe to say that the Chiefs are here to stay for the coming years. The team will be gunning to defend and win their second-straight Super Bowl title in the upcoming NFL season.
