Patrick Mahomes continues his journey toward becoming one of the all-time greats as he seeks a second consecutive championship ring and third overall.

And then there were two! The 2023 NFL season reaches its climax on Sunday as the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers meet at Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas…Patrick Mahomes resumes his march towards the all-time greats in search of a second straight ring and third overall, while Brock Purdy, the famous last pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, finds himself one more win away from one of the greatest feats in sporting history.

It beckons as a rematch of Super Bowl LIV, when Mahomes inspired a late Chiefs comeback to see off the 49ers at the end of the 2019 campaign.Key player: Patrick Mahomes, of course. The NFL’s best quarterback,

the NFL’s best player and this generation’s best hope of mounting a rival to the greatness of Tom Brady. Defensive schemes across the league have rallied to blunt the man with the talent to make any throw from any angle at any position on a football field; at times it has succeeded,

at times it has slowed him, and yet here he stands once again. For much of the season Kansas City’s usually-explosive offense has struggled to get out of first gear, ranking 15th in points per game (21.8) and only just sneaking into the top 10 in terms of yards per game (351.3). Mahomes has been hindered by an underperforming crop of receivers marred by dropped catches and misunderstandings, even his star tight end Travis Kelce,

until recently, coming up shy of his typically game-changing standards at times. Mahomes hasn’t been blame-free, either, but as long as No 15 is under center the Chiefs will always be in contention.
