Mahomes has won back-to-back Superbowl MVP"s, and a third in the last five years and will be looking to leading Kansas to the awe-inspiring triple.
The Chiefs had a relatively turbulent regular season with ups and downs, but proved their mettle in the crunch playoff games.
“I want to take the credit, but honestly, it was everybody," Mahomes said.
“I knew it was going to turn around, but the way the guys worked. Whenever stuff got tough, especially in that receiving room or offensive line or whatever, or with me. Everybody came to work the next day, and we"ll just get that extra work in.
“Let"s do those extra things. And when you see that, you know it"s going to turn around. Our defense kept us in that all year long. I knew our offense was going to turn because of how hard guys are working every single day. When you work that hard, usually good things happen. So, it just happened right at the perfect time, and we just got that momentum into the playoffs and obviously got to win the Super Bowl."
Mahomes became just the third quarterback in NFL history to win 15 playoff games, as rhe Chiefs joined six other teams to go back-to-back.
“I think it"s a tribute to coach Reid and (general manager) Brett Veach [that they] continue to bring great players in," Mahomes said. “If you look at our defense and how young they are. They"re drafting great. They"re finding these guys that they can bring in to play and develop. Our coaching staff is developing players. I always think to our DBs. We got like five or six guys that are in Year 1, Year 2 and then you have (L"Jarius) Sneed.
“I mean, guys that continue to get better and better. All you can do is just go to work every single day and try to bring guys along. I thought Rashee Rice did a great job. Just continuing to get better and better. That"s what great football teams need is guys that just keep coming to the culture that we built here and continuing to get better every single week. I"ll try to keep as much flexibility as I possibly can as far as the cap and stuff like that. It"s a credit to all the people I have around me."
Mahomes has the potential to become the greatest player in NFL history surpassing even Tom Brady, who has seven Superbowl rings.
