Patrick Mahomes says every season is 'different' in quest for 3rd straight title
Patrick Mahomes is in the midst of building a Hall of Fame career that will certainly have him wearing a gold jacket one day. For now, though, the 29-year-old is just focused on the task at hand: Super Bowl LIX.
After defeating the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game, Mahomes was asked if he thought about possibly winning a third straight title. He went on to say that the opportunity wasn't at the forefront, adding that he has the mindset that every season is different with a different roster and different challenges along the way.
He knows how special winning three would be but, he isn't currently worried about it.
“I put every single season as its own season. Every team is different. You get new guys, you get guys that have to step up in different roles. I just go about my business and try to prepare everybody to be in the best possible situation to succeed.
"Obviously, it will be awesome. I think it will be something that I look back at the end of my career if we’re able to go out there and get that three-peat, but at the same time, you just treat it as one season and one Super Bowl run, which is always hard to do.”-Mahomes told reporters
He also noted how hard it is to go on a postseason run and win a Super Bowl even once let alone the amount of success he has.
