Andy Reid surrenders to Patrick Mahomes: The reason for my success
This coach and quarterback combination has won three Super Bowls
The Kansas City Chiefs are the toast of the NFL. The league’s newest model organization is also its newest dynasty after its victory in Super Bowl LVIII earlier this month — and if the Chiefs are fully healthy in 2024, they will have every opportunity to become the first team ever to win the Super Bowl in three consecutive seasons.
Everyone around the NFL envies this level of success. But to hear Chiefs coach Andy Reid talk about it, the 65-year-old is only too eager to credit one of his team’s transcendent superstars for all the winning over the past five years, a stretch that has seen Kansas City win three Super Bowls after a five-decade drought.

Reid reveals his “secret”
Speaking at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Reid credited Patrick Mahomes for much of his success as the Chiefs’ coach. Reid did not directly name Mahomes as the prime reason for Kansas City’s emergence as a juggernaut, but he did say that in order to compete for championships, a team has to have a “good quarterback.” Mahomes is certainly that.
Since taking over the Chiefs’ starting quarterback job in 2018, Mahomes has won two regular-season MVP awards and three Super Bowl MVPs. He can make plays — with his feet as well as his cannon arm — that no other quarterback in the NFL can make, especially out of the general offensive structure. Reid said that in response, all he’s tried to do is “teach” Mahomes how to win, seeing as the 28-year-old seems to have everything else just about figured out.
Mahomes eyeing more greatness
Mahomes does not turn 30 years old until early in the 2025 NFL season, leaving fans — especially those rooting for the Chiefs — salivating as to what else he can achieve in his career.
Mahomes could make a serious run at Tom Brady‘s record of seven Super Bowl victories, and three more MVP awards would tie him with Peyton Manning for the most in league history. If he wins another Offensive Player of the Year award, Mahomes would become only the ninth player ever to win the honor in multiple seasons. These accolades and more all feel possible if the former Texas Tech standout stays healthy in the coming seasons.
