Kansas City chiefs are trying something that hasn’t been done in 16 years.
When Patrick Mahomes leads the Chiefs at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on February 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tom Brady, Kansas City will attempt to become the first team since the 2003-04 New England Patriots to win the Super Bowls.

Coincidentally, the Chiefs will try to do this against Brady, who was the Patriots’ quarterback. Two other teams recently had the opportunity to accomplish the feat. The Seattle Seahawks in 2014 had a chance, but Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler intercepted Seattle QB Russell Wilson to seal the victory for New England. In 2017, the Patriots fell to Nick Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles, a year after making the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history against the Atlanta Falcons.

The odds could be against the Chiefs, as it hadn’t happened in almost 20 years, but coach Andy Reid is excited for the challenge.
“What I can see as positive is the record, that we persevere in some difficult games,” said Chiefs coach Andy Reid, “and then the mental stamina to do this individually each week was important, knowing that you are going getting people’s best chance, and there’s the respect factor.

“They didn’t question each other, they didn’t question the coaches, they stayed focused and delivered,” added Reid. “However, it fits, I’m not sure how to categorize it, but I think it may have been the biggest challenge. Did you see it with the teams, when things are not going well, they kind of fall apart there. Our guys didn’t do that, they all stayed together and trusted. “
