This is the second time Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will face the legendary Tom Brady in the playoffs in his career. With Brady besting Mahomes in the 2018-19 AFC Championship Game, Mahomes will be looking for revenge on Super Bowl Sunday and seeking his second consecutive title.
Two of the best quarterbacks in the league going head to head in the big game had well-known New York sports radio host Mike Francesca of WFAN thinking about the greatest QBs to ever go against each other in the championship game—and Mahomes and Brady's names were not at the top:
Brady vs. Mahomes is an alltime Super Bowl QB matchup. But on your way through history don't overlook Staubach vs Bradshaw.

According to Chris Giblin in Men's Journal, Terry Bradshaw and his Pittsburgh Steelers played against Roger Staubach and his Dallas Cowboys twice for the championship, as Bradshaw got the best of Staubach both of those times. Though Staubach missed the opportunity to add another two rings, he did not go down without a fight, as the Cowboys lost Super Bowl X 21-17 and Super Bowl XIII 35-31. Francesca can't be blamed for believing these two to have a greater rivalry than Brady and Mahomes.
Francesca tweeted about this while knowing that Brady will be making his 10th Super Bowl appearance and Mahomes will be looking to repeat, after defeating the San Francisco 49ers last time.
Brady, who possesses the most title in NFL history with six, will be looking for his seventh ring on Super Bowl Sunday. However, he will have to go up against a one-time champion and a QB who threw for 50 touchdowns in just his second season in Mahomes.
This Super Bowl will be one for the books, as NFL fans around the world will wait anxiously for Feb. 7 to come around.
