Patrick Mahomes is undeniably confident in his abilities, and with good reason.
So confident, in fact, that over a month before Super Bowl 58, before the NFL playoffs even kicked off, the 28-year-old quarterback made a bold prediction. In a text message shared by his wife Brittany on Instagram, Mahomes declared his decision that he and his team would emerge victorious and claim the Lombardi Trophy this year.
Brittany, who recently made her debut as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition model, shared Mahomes’ message from January 5th, highlighting his unwavering belief in his team’s success.
“This season was a special one! This guy never stopped believing in his team…through the ups and downs and all the doubters, never once did he doubt this team,”
“He is a true leader and a team player. He continued to ask himself what he could do better to lead this team to the Super Bowl. I saw so much behind the scenes that I will forever be in awe of you as a person and a football player! You my guy deserved this!!! I love you and am always and forever proud of you.”
Reflecting on her husband’s journey, Brittany praised Mahomes’ leadership and dedication, emphasizing his resilience amidst challenges and doubters. She expressed admiration for his commitment to self-improvement and his unwavering belief in their team’s ability to reach the Super Bowl.
In Super Bowl 58, Mahomes showcased his prowess on the field, completing 34 of 46 passes for 333 yards, along with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. Additionally, he rushed for 66 yards on 9 carries.
With this victory over the San Francisco 49ers, Mahomes secured his third Super Bowl title, cementing his status as one of the game’s elite quarterbacks. Furthermore, he and the Chiefs became the first team to achieve back-to-back championships since the New England Patriots in 2003 and 2004.
Having achieved three Super Bowl titles before turning 29, Mahomes is now widely regarded as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. His remarkable achievements have positioned him as a potential rival to the legendary Tom Brady’s illustrious career.
