What would another Super Bowl win mean for Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid’s place in history?

NFL quarterbacks and coaches are primarily judged on how they perform in big games. Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid have fared quite well in recent years, and have a chance to add to their already impressive resumes in Super Bowl LVIII. We’ll dissect what another Super Bowl victory would mean for their legacies. All statistics were sourced from Football Reference.

Coming into this year’s NFL playoffs, Patrick Mahomes had played every postseason game before the Super Bowl at home. This season, the Kansas City Chiefs had to win two games on the road to get to the big game.

If Mahomes and the Chiefs are able to win Super Bowl LVIII, it would be a scary indicator to the rest of the league that the location of high leverage games won’t stop the quarterback from doing what it takes to get the job done when it matters most.

In a similar vein, Mahomes has continued to win without the level of support he’s received in the past from his offensive teammates. A victory against San Francisco on Sunday would be his second Super Bowl triumph without Tyreek Hill, who Mahomes had the benefit of playing with early in his career.

This helps catapult Mahomes’ accomplishments way up the historical list, considering that he had to elevate the play of an average-at-best cast around him.

Tom Brady won his seventh Super Bowl against Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs at the culmination of the 2020 NFL season. It was said at the time by the likes of Al Michaels that no one would ever have a chance to match that ring total, let alone surpass it.

However, if Mahomes was to win Super Bowl LVIII, he would have his third championship, at just 28 years old. If he plays another 12 years until age 40, it’s not crazy to think Mahomes could get five more championships to eventually pass Brady.

The roster differences between this year’s Chiefs team and prior editions have been previously touched on, but give Andy Reid credit for playing to the strengths of the current roster.

Instead of airing it out like he might have just a couple of years ago, Reid has featured a ground attack that controls the clock and helps his defense stay fresh.

As Sports Illustrated has depicted, there’s a narrative in the NFL that it can be hard to beat the same team multiple times in a season. While this San Francisco 49ers squad isn’t exactly the same one that Kansas City beat four years ago in the Super Bowl, it’s a sure bet that the 49ers will be highly motivated to flip the script in the rematch.

If Kansas City is able to pull this off, Reid would deserve a ton of credit for finding a way to motivate his players, who might otherwise come into this game thinking they have the upper hand.

Before Super Bowl LVIII, Andy Reid finds himself 44 victories behind Bill Belichick on the all-time wins list. Belichick will not be a head coach in the NFL in 2024, meaning that Reid will have an opportunity to gain on the former New England Patriots boss. It’s possible that Reid will eventually pass him on the list.

As Bleacher Report and many others have opined, Travis Kelce’s on-field play has declined this season. With that being said, Mahomes and Reid have still been able to get great production from him throughout the postseason. It can be difficult to placate a legend whose abilities are diminishing, but Kansas City hasn’t had much trouble with that this year.

There’s been no report of Andy Reid considering stepping down after the Super Bowl, but it’s fair to wonder how many more seasons he might want to be a part of. He’ll be 66 years old in March, but might want to spend more time seeing the prime of Mahomes’ career unfold.

Mahomes has already won two Super Bowl MVP’s, and could very well add a third award to his ledger on Sunday. Only two players in NFL history have ever won three Super Bowl MVP’s; Brady, and San Francisco 49ers legend Joe Montana.

It’s practically become a part of every NFL broadcast these days, but the State Farm commercials that Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid appear in are extremely popular. It’s hard to remember a quarterback-coach tandem that had a more iconic advertisement run than this duo, which solidify their place in history as pitchmen as well.
