We are officially in a new era! A Kansas City Chiefs Dynasty! The Kansas City Chiefs have firmly planted themselves at the top of the NFL mountain with its third Super Bowl in as many as five seasons. Future Hall of Famers, Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Tight End Travis Kelce, and Head Coach Andy Reid secured another championship after what some may call a tumultuous regular season for the squad. 

The first half was a defensive struggle, with multiple turnovers and uncharacteristic mishaps by both teams. Certainly mirroring the issues that plagued the Chiefs during the regular season. Trailing 10-3 at the half, the second half was vastly different for Mahomes and company. They held the 49ers to zero points in the third while putting up ten of their own, eventually earning their way into overtime with two crucial Harrison Butker field goals in the fourth. 

Neither team fully took control of the opportunity at hand, failing to reach the end zone on their initial drives. The 49ers finally hit a field goal with a little over seven minutes on the clock and as time wound down, Mahomes guided Kansas City into the red zone and threw a three-yard game winning touchdown pass to Mecole Hardman with three seconds remaining in the extra period.  

Chiefs Kingdom, we just won back-to-back Super Bowls.

 The victory cemented the team as one of the all time greats and they became the first team to be back-to-back champions since the New England Patriots in 2003-2004. Patrick Mahomes was named Super Bowl MVP for the third time in his career, firmly entrenching him as the second greatest quarterback ever behind Tom Brady. Mind you he has all of these accolades while only being a full time start for six seasons. We may be looking at the new G.O.A.T. and a potential three peat. Something that has never been done in NFL history.   

“Really just the whole game, just our whole entire season, it was the defense keeping us in there, and the offense making plays when it counted. Just know that the Kansas City Chiefs are never underdogs.”

— Patrick Mahomes

A bold statement from the leader of a team that were underdogs their entire road to the big game. The Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers were all favorites during this run and given this victory and their dominance since the beginning of the decade, Mahomes may be right.

Mahomes leads Chiefs to Second Super Bowl Victory in Four Years Despite Injury

By: Joshua Martin

What a game!!

The Kansas City Chiefs locked up their second Super Bowl victory in 4 years in front of an electric crowd at State Farm Arena in Glendale, Arizona for Super Bowl 57 Sunday night. Albeit in unfamiliar territory, the Chiefs entered the game as 1.5 point underdogs, the victory was sealed after an impressive 26-yard run, all on a balky ankle I might add, by the eventual 2 time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes.

Mahomes re-injured the ankle right before halftime after landing awkwardly on a tackle made by Eagles linebacker T.J. Edwards. The Chiefs appeared to be heading towards another disappointing showing in the Super Bowl after trailing by 10 entering the half with a visibly injured quarterback. 

The second half was the polar opposite as the Chiefs scored 4 touchdowns on all 4 of their possessions in the 2nd half, eventually taking a 28-27 lead midway through the 4th quarter against the feisty Eagles. 

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts tied it up ( 35 - 35) after a 2 yard score and 2 point conversion with 5:15 remaining.

The aforementioned run by Mahomes, followed by strategically killing the clock with a series of kneel downs, set up a 27 yard field goal attempt by Harrison Butker that eventually gave the Chiefs the victory. 

I'll admit the late game kneeling was a lackluster way to end an otherwise entertaining matchup, but it didn't, however, spoil a night full of memorable firsts.

Both squads started Black quarterbacks for the first time in Superbowl history.

Hurts told reporters about the significance of the game, according to NFL.com.

“I think it’s history. I think it’s something that’s worthy of being noted and it is history. It’s come a long way. I think it’s only been seven African-American quarterbacks to play in the Super Bowl, so to be the first for something is pretty cool. I know it will be a good one.”

We use terms like “G.O.A.T.” and “dynasty” a tad bit too loosely these days but 3 AFC Championships and 2 Super Bowl victories in a 4 year span looks pretty Goatish to me as Patrick Mahomes leaves no doubt that he is the best Quarterback in the league and the Chiefs are indeed a dynasty with a Hall of Famer at Head coach.  

In Summation, it was refreshing to get a competitive game featuring two teams who were honestly the best squads from their respective conferences all year. Now the long wait begins as the 22-23 season concludes.  

*sighs 

There’s always next year Cowboys fans…
