Freezing cold Troy Aikman take resurfaces after Patrick Mahomes wins another Super Bowl
Following Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs’ third Super Bowl win in five years on Sunday night, NFL fans were quick to resurface a message Troy Aikman posted way back in 2019. That year, the Kansas City arm of the Athletic reported that Mahomes had thrown 36% of Aikman’s career touchdown passes in just 8% of the total games it took the former Cowboys star. To that, the former Super Bowl-winning QB wrote, “Talk to me when he has 33% of my Super Bowl Titles.”
Well, as of Sunday night, Mahomes has 100% of Aikman’s Super Bowl titles. A national college football reporter for CBS was quick to point out the milestone in a tweet that’s received more than 16,000 likes.
“Patrick Mahomes has thrown 132% of Troy Aikman’s passing touchdowns and won 100% of his Super Bowls in about 58% of his career games,” Shehan Jeyarajah posted.
The heights Mahomes has reached at just 28 years old has him in the G.O.A.T conversation very early in his career. With at least seven years left on his contract with the Chiefs, there’s no telling how many more Super Bowls he could win before hanging up his cleats. He still trails Tom Brady by four rings.
Patrick Mahomes earns Super Bowl LVIII MVP
For the third time, Patrick Mahomes earned the Super Bowl MVP for the Kansas City Chiefs, this time after leading a come-from-behind 25-22 overtime win over the San Francisco 49ers. Mahomes threw for two touchdown passes, including the game-winner in overtime.
He ended things with three seconds remaining in the first overtime when he connected with a wide-open Mecole Hardman in the end zone for a 3-yard touchdown, surpassing San Francisco’s field goal drive which opened the overtime period. While 49ers players claimed ignorance about the overtime rules after the game, the Chiefs were clearly well prepared.
“I hope people remember not only the greatness that we have on the field, but the way that we’ve done it,” Mahomes said post-game. “I feel like we enjoy it every single day. We have fun, we play hard and it’s not always pretty, but we just continue to fight to the very end.
“I know [some fans] get fatigue sometimes of one team winning, but we try to enjoy it and just enjoy the moment that we have together and enjoy just kind of what we can do every single day to bring the best out of each other.”
