With a hard-fought 17-10 victory over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship game, the Kansas City Chiefs, led by Patrick Mahomes and coach Andy Reid, secured their fourth Super Bowl appearance in five years in a stunning postseason display.

Mahomes, at just 28 years old, is set to make history with his fourth Super Bowl start, marking the most starts before the age of 30 in NFL history. 

With 14 playoff wins under his belt, tying for the third-most by any quarterback, Mahomes is steadily building a remarkable legacy.

As the Chiefs gear up for Super Bowl LV, scheduled for Feb. 11 in Vegas, Mahomes has a chance to match Tom Brady's early-career feat of three Super Bowl victories through six starting seasons. 

Allegiant Stadium has proven to be a favorable venue for Mahomes, boasting a 4-0 record with 10 touchdowns and just one interception.

Statistically, Mahomes shines with a remarkable .824 win percentage in the playoffs, the best among quarterbacks with at least 15 postseason starts. 

The ongoing Chiefs' playoff run, characterized by a less explosive offense and Mahomes' first-ever postseason road starts, has only enhanced his standing. Notably, the Chiefs were underdogs in both road games, yet emerged victorious in each.

While Tom Brady is often hailed as the "GOAT" (Greatest of All Time), Patrick Mahomes, on his current trajectory, is proving to be a formidable contender for that title, showcasing exceptional skill and resilience at a young age. (Source: CBS Sports)

Bruce Springsteen Says Fame Once Scared Him and Therapy Saved His Life

Springsteen called fame “a very distorted lens” and said he had to protect what mattered most to him.  Those fears helped inspire his next album, Darkness on the Edge of Town , which celebrated working-class life.  He also revealed he struggled with thoughts of suicide after his 1982 album Nebraska and began focusing on mental health.  Springsteen still goes to therapy today and says it has cha...
