There is not much new in Mahomes’ season, who will once again prepare to play in a Super Bowl. The Chiefs star knows that his performance is the key to reach glory again, as he did in the 32-29 victory in the AFC conference final against the Buffalo Bills, completing 18 of 26 passes for 245 yards and throwing a touchdown pass. In addition, the 29-year-old quarterback was crucial in the ground game, totaling 43 yards on 9 carries and scoring two touchdowns.
There are many ways to analyze the success the Chiefs have had over the years. Reid has been able to lead a group of players who want to make history. When asked why Kansas City is back in the Super Bowl, Mahomes responded with a lofty answer.
“This team’s been special because it’s been everybody. You look at our entire season, it’s like someone makes a big play at the biggest moment to go out there and win a football game, if that’s offense, defense or special teams,” Mahomes said at press conference about the Chiefs’ form as they look to make history.

“I think the fact that it’s been everybody, it’s not just offense, it’s not just defense, it’s everybody on the entire team. It’s something I’ll remember this season by, and hopefully we can do it the right way and get this final win,” Mahomes concluded about the key factor of Reid’s Chiefs.
