A Super Bowl LV win for Patrick Mahomes would mean a lot to his career, said former NFL quarterback Tony Romo on Friday.
Mahomes is on his way to becoming a great defender of all time, but if he wanted to catch Tom Brady, a Super Bowl LV victory is a must win for him, the CBS broadcaster told reporters.

“The fact that Patrick Mahomes is somehow in this discussion shows how amazing this guy is,” said Romo, via Boston.com. “There is a chance for Patrick Mahomes to play this game, to climb the ladder. If Mahomes wins, he keeps the door open. If Brady wins, I don’t know how anyone can beat him.
“This is the biggest game Patrick Mahomes is going to play for the rest of his career. It’s the only way to catch Tom Brady. If he loses this game, he won’t be able to catch Tom Brady, in my opinion.”

Mahomes could, in theory, play as much as Brady had and win as many Super Bowls. He is only in his fourth year in the league and playing for his second Super Bowl title. Brady had three Super Bowl rings in his fifth season in the NFL. He didn’t win his fourth until the 2014 season.
Mahomes could be the third quarterback to win consecutive Super Bowl MVP awards and the Kansas City Chiefs may be the first team to win consecutive titles since the 2003-04 seasons, when the New England Patriots did that.
