[@nicholassmith6019]

Rich is absolutely right. Growing up watching Tom Brady I had thought I would never see another QB that could achieve more. We are watching a Mahomes that seems even better than Brady at times. It is interesting to see if this dynasty can be sustained like the Pats. Going to the AFC conference championship your first six years as a starter is such an unbelievable stat.

[@BlairZarubick]

I too am done with the Hurts outplayed Mahomes narrative. Hurts fumble that was returned for a TD in a game he lost by a field goal is the inconvenient fact that always.

[@xyzunotme]

These two teams are so evenly matched in almost every way. The only side where KC "may" be off, is the offense, but we've seen over the last few weeks that even that is stepping up and improving. You just can't ignore that with #15 on the field KC has that ability to create magic. Period. I'm not dissing on Baltimore by saying that either. These two guys are equally competitive and it should be great fun watching this game.

[@vicprovost2561]

Of course he has all of the fundamentals, but he also makes plays that nobody else can imagine.

As a Chiefs fan I want to believe we can pull off an upset but it's looking like a long shot. Last years Chiefs team was the 9th team since 1976 to have lead in the 4th quarter/overtime of every game they played, 4 of which won the Super Bowl of the previous 8. Make that 5 now that the Chiefs pulled it out against the Eagles. Fast forward to this year.... Baltimore has now had a lead in the LAST 2 MINUTES of every game they played (sans week 18 when they sat starters) - It's just the mark of a really good team that is almost by default going to the SB. We are down some really key guys, including our best spy linebacker in Willie Gay and it looks like all-pro guard Joe Thuney won't play... not a good sign with shakey Tackles on both sides. It will take a monumental game plan and execution to somehow pull out a W in a tight one.

HURTS TURNED THE BALL OVER HE DIDNT OUTPLAY HIM

These are the quarterbacks Mahomes has beaten in the playoffs: Andrew Luck (1st overall, 2012) Deshaun Watson Ryan Tannehill Jimmy Garoppolo Baker Mayfield (1st overall, 2018; game also featured Myles Garrett, 1st overall in 2017) Josh Allen (3 times) Ben Roethlisberger Trevor Lawrence (1st overall, 2021; game also featured Travon Walker, 1st overall in 2022) Joe Burrow (1st overall, 2020) Jalen Hurts Tua Tagovailoa That's a pretty good list before his 29th birthday; he can also play (and beat) 2014 1st overall Jadeveon Clowney on Sunday. Here's Tom Brady's list in his first 6 seasons as starter, for comparison: Rich Gannon Kordell Stewart Kurt Warner (game featured Orlando Pace, 1st overall in 1997) Steve McNair Peyton Manning (2 times; 1st overall, 1998) Jake Delhomme Ben Roethlisberger Donovan McNabb Byron Leftwich Chad Pennington Philip Rivers

Not sure what you trying prove Kurt Warner won MVP in 2001 when Brady beat him Gannon won MVP in 2002 season after he beat him McNair and Manning were co MVPs in 2003 Brady beat them back to back Manning was MVP in 2004 Big Ben is a HOF QB he beat Luck twice beat MVP MRyan in 2016 beat MVP Mahomes in 2018 beat MVP Arod in 2020 in fact the amount of that seasons MVPs Brady beat in playoffs is crazy

[@dominicpancella3012]

@@davis2k1234 I'm not really trying to prove anything, and you make a good point about MVPs-the only problem there is Mahomes hasn't had a chance to play against one in the playoffs until this coming Sunday, because so far in his career he's won the award twice and an NFC quarterback (Rodgers) has won twice and failed to make the Super Bowl each time.

Even the Pats lost a few Div. matchups.. Every team, will go thru this, well, maybe not the Lions.. LOL,, just kidding!! As a Chiefs fan that saw our First Super Bowl win, Great Time to be a Chiefs fan!! Win or lose this week, We, the Fans, will be happy!!! But, we Will Win!!

I see the NFL bought everyone new Kneepads and Lipstick....Ya get on them knees real nice Rich.

Mahomes is striving to beat the best of the best. He’s improving every year because he’s getting smarter and tougher every year. I believe he will wind up surpassing Brady in his career.
