Patrick Mahomes is standing on the verge of an unprecedented career: He’s in his fifth Super Bowl, has won three of them already and is trying to win another to pull off a three-peat that has never been done before. He’s won two MVP awards, three Super Bowl MVP awards, been named to the Pro Bowl six times and an All-Pro three times. All those accomplishments have put Mahomes in the greatest-of-all-time conversation before he turns 30. They’ve also given him and his Kansas City Chiefs a new label ahead of Super Bowl LIX: villain. And if winning makes him a villain, Mahomes is fine with it. “I don’t even think it’s embracing being the villains. We embrace who we are,” Mahomes said this week. “We believe we play the game the right way. We believe that we play with a lot of heart and a lot of passion for the game, and then we win football games. And if winning football games makes you a villain, we’re going to keep going out there and doing it.” When the Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Sunday’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, it will feel a bit like the all-time classic comedy movie, “Groundhog Day.” The Chiefs have been in the big game five of the last seven years and played the same opponent two years ago, winning one of the most dramatic editions of the title game in its history. A Chiefs run into February has become ho-hum for NFL fans at this point, such is the consistency of Mahomes’ performance leading the team. That consistency is what his teammates say makes him great. It’s also a reason why football fans better get used to seeing No. 15 being under center in the sport’s biggest games for years to come: this is just his life now, and it’s obvious that he’s feeling pretty comfortable.
