Patrick Mahomes improved 'perspective' after Tom Brady loss and eyes Super Bowl legacy

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes believes he has learned from his defeat against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers two years ago as he prepares to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII on Sunday.

Not many players have experienced a surge to sporting relevancy like the Chiefs quarterback. After sitting for almost all of his rookie year, Mahomes was named MVP as a sophomore and hasn’t looked back, winning the Super Bowl a year later and reaching the game twice more.

His second trip to the Super Bowl was more frustrating than the first. Mahomes put in an admirable performance behind a porous offensive line as much of his teammates struggled, with the Chiefs failing to get going while the Tom Brady-led offence and the Buccaneers defence dominated large portions of the contest to run out 31-9 winners.
