At one point, the perception was Tom Brady’s G.O.A.T. would never be rivaled. However, Patrick Mahomes is rewriting records right in front of our eyes. Will we see Mahomes pass Brady? In 2021, Tom Brady won his 7th Super Bowl and seemed untouchable in the Goat conversation. As of today, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, has once again led his team into the AFC Conference Championship, maintaining an impressive streak. The talented quarterback has made it to the conference championship game every year since becoming a starter. With every playoff win, he comes close to the legacy of Tom Brady. Following the Chiefs’ win over the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round, Mahomes has 13th career playoff wins. Surpassing Aaron Rodgers, who had 12 wins. Mahomes now shares the seventh spot in the all-time playoff wins list with quarterbacks Ben Roethlisberger and Brett Favre. Mahomes has also placed his name in the record books by passing Tom Brady’s mark for the most playoff wins before the age of 30.
As the Chiefs quarterback eyes another Super Bowl title this year. A victory would make him the third spot on the all-time playoff wins list, standing only behind Joe Montana and Tom Brady. Mahomes continues to improve his career, leaving an incredible mark on the league. With each playoff performance, the football world waits to witness if Mahomes can add another chapter to his legacy by securing a Super Bowl victory this season.
When you look at the two quarterbacks, Tom Brady has seven Super Bowl wins in ten appearances, paired with three regular season MVP’s and five Super Bowl MVP’s. Mahomes, on the other hand, is rapidly catching up with his 2 Super Bowl wins and 2 MVPs. If anyone has a shot of becoming the next G.O.A.T. it is Mahomes, with his explosive play style and clutch performances. At this time in his career, Brady had no MVPs,7,000 yards less, and 79 fewer touchdowns. Looking at their careers, Mahomes is on his way to becoming an all-time great. He has not reached that point yet he has a long career ahead of him. So, for now, Tom Brady is still the Goat of football.
