Dan Orlovsky recently revealed what separates Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes' dynasty from the New England Patriots' run that preceded it.
When appearing on Sirius XM’s “Let’s Go!” podcast, the legendary coach talked about the importance of having good players on a team to win championships. There’s no winning without good football being played on the field, and that ultimately comes down to the players.
Former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady reminisced about a moment that occurred after the 2018 AFC Championship Game between the Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs. Brady and the Patriots came away with the victory. The legendary quarterback went 30-of-46 on the evening, throwing for 346 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions.
Tom Brady competed in a record 10 Super Bowls, winning seven times. Two of his losses came against the New York Giants, with Nick Foles starting for the Eagles in the other defeat.
On a podcast, Bill Belichick suggested the Super Bowl trophy should be named after seven-time champion Tom Brady, not Vince Lombardi:
Patriots center David Andrews said Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs still have a long way to go to catch Tom Brady and the Pats' dynasty.
The Lombardi Trophy, awarded to the NFL team that wins the Super Bowl every year, is considered among the most coveted trophies in sports. The game is very hard
However, Mahomes is far from the player with the most Super Bowl rings. That honor goes to Tom Brady. Brady has seven championship rings, having won Super Bowl XXXVI in 2002, Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004, Super Bowl XXXIX in 2005, Super Bowl XLIX in 2015, Super Bowl LI in 2017, Super Bowl LIII in 2019 and Super Bowl LV in 2021.
Now, let’s be clear: achieving one feat that evaded Tom Brady’s teams does not pass the goat-horned crown from Number 12 to Number 15. Patrick Mahomes will still have his work cut out for him to be justifiably called the greatest quarterback of all time.
After leading the Kansas City Chiefs to yet another Super Bowl, Patrick Mahomes sets the record straight on the comparisons between him and Tom Brady. Patrick Mahomes continues to build his legacy as one of the best players in NFL history.
Gray then quipped that they don't call the Super Bowl trophy "The Starr Trophy," after former Packers quarterback Bart Starr, but rather "The Lombardi Trophy," after his head coach Vince Lombardi—who led Green Bay to the first two Super Bowl wins in history.
