#3 - Brady's clutch gene

Super Bowl LI - New England Patriots v Atlanta Falcons

Yes, Mahomes has come from behind to win both of his Super Bowl rings, but Brady is still 'King Clutch' in the NFL.

Brady came back from 28-3 down during the Patriots' Super Bowl LI victory over the Atlanta Falcons—a comeback the likes of which we may never see again.

Also, when Mahomes and Brady faced off in Super Bowl LV, Brady got the better of Mahomes once again, as the Buccaneers toppled the Chiefs 31-9.

#4 - The AFC

AFC Championship - Cincinnati Bengals v Kansas City Chiefs

The AFC has never been tougher, which makes it more difficult for Mahomes and the Chiefs to create a Brady-esque dynasty.

Teams like the Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills will be standing in the way of Kansas City every season, alongside up-and-coming franchises like the Los Angeles Chargers and Jacksonville Jaguars.

The quarterback talent pool has never been better in this conference either, with Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Justin Herbert, and Aaron Rodgers all to contend with to make it to another Super Bowl.

#5 - Records

One reason that many fans believe Mahomes will fall short of Brady's legacy is simply the number of records Brady has to his name.

Brady has the record for most touchdown passes, passing yards, and wins. He also holds the record for most Super Bowl victories with seven.

So far, Mahomes has 64 career wins, putting him 187 behind Brady.
