Patrick Mahomes: Chasing History
Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes has a chance to cement his legacy at Super Bowl LIX
If Mahomes can steer his side to victory, he will be the first quarterback in the modern era to win three Super Bowl’s in a row
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has already secured his place among the NFL’s greatest, but Super Bowl LIX presents a chance to rewrite history.
No team has ever won three consecutive Super Bowls, and Mahomes is on the brink of achieving what legends like Tom Brady, Joe Montana, and Terry Bradshaw never could.
If the Chiefs win, Mahomes would join elite company with four Super Bowl тιтles before the age of 30, solidifying his legacy as the defining quarterback of this era.
While comparisons to Brady are inevitable, leading a historic three-peat would set him apart as the ultimate game-changer in modern football.
Australia’s Own: The Jordan Mailata Story
Australia will have their own player to cheer on, with Jordan Mailata lining up for the Eagles
Once a part of the South Sydney Rabbitohs extended squad, the giant footy star took a punt on the NFL that paid off, now he could create history
For Aussie sports fans, all eyes will be on Jordan Mailata, the Eagles’ 166kg left tackle from Bankstown, NSW.
Once a promising rugby league player for the South Sydney Rabbitohs, Mailata transitioned to American football with no prior experience, defying the odds to become a vital piece of Philadelphia’s offensive line.
His journey from NRL reject to NFL star is one of the most inspiring stories in sports.
As Jalen Hurts’ key protector, Mailata plays a crucial role in keeping the Eagles’ offense running smoothly.
But for Mailata, this Super Bowl is about more than just personal success – it’s about rewriting history.
If Philadelphia wins, Mailata will become the first Australian to ever win a Super Bowl.
The opportunity is even sweeter given that he and the Eagles suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII in 2023, where they fell 38-35 despite leading for much of the game.
That loss has fueled Mailata and his teammates as they prepare for redemption against the very team that denied them glory two years ago.
A win would not only place Mailata in the record books but also further validate his incredible transformation from rugby league prospect to NFL powerhouse.
