Today, the Kansas City Chiefs complete the greatest five-year run in NFL history by winning the third Super Bowl in the Patrick Mahomes era, and the fourth in the franchise's glorious history.

I'd like to see him break Phil Simms comp pct record and Steve Young's TD record in the same game. :-) [Reply]

Nah. This is but a chapter in the Mahomes story. Win or lose, this is what it's all about.
Plus, I legitimately think we match up against the 9ers well. A lot of things have to go their way for them to win. Only a couple of things have to go our way for us to win. [Reply]

San Fran are better BUT I think the main thing will be the second half adjustments. They'll get yards against us first half. But can they keep it up? I'm cautiously optimistic but will probably need to remind myself at half-time [Reply]
A few Super Bowl stats for you going into today's game.
Top ten career passing yards.
1 Tom Brady 3039 (tainted by cheating)
2 Kurt Warner 1156
3 Joe Montana 1142
4 John Elway 1128 (tainted by cheating)
5 Peyton Manning 1001
6 Terry Bradshaw 932
7 Jim Kelly 829
8 Patrick Mahomes II 738
9 Roger Staubach 734
10 Troy Aikman 689
A 300-yard game will put Patrick into 5th place (3rd among non-cheaters), and a 400-yard game will put Patrick into 4th (3rd among non-cheaters). [Reply]
