Patrick Mahomes reflects on confidence ahead of Super Bowl 59
Although Super Bowl LV was brutal, the Chiefs QB remains confident about the upcoming championship game this Sunday and has reflected that confidence in his approach. The Chiefs won Super Bowl LVII and LVIII in the last two years, and they are looking forward to winning the championship for the third straight year, aiming to become the first team in the game's history to do so.
During the Super Bowl LIX press conference, Patrick Mahomes delivered a strong message, reflecting his confidence in winning.
“I don’t even think it’s embracing being the villains," Mahomes said (at 10:55). "We embrace who we are, and we believe we play the game the right way. We believe that we play with a lot of heart and a lot of passion for the game and then we win football games. If winning football games makes you a villain, we’re gonna keep going out there and doing it.”
The Chiefs have qualified for Super Bowl LIX after winning the AFC Championship by defeating the Buffalo Bills. They will be facing the Philadelphia Eagles on February 9 in New Orleans for their shot at history.
Both teams also featured in Super Bowl LVII, which started the Chiefs' current streak of championships, the year after their loss to Tampa Bay. They will be looking forward to repeating the same success on Sunday.
