Patrick Mahomes boosts Tom Brady chase as leader of NFL's new dynasty
That was when he threw the touchdown pass that took the Kansas City Chiefs to glory.
Many now feel it's just a case of when not if he can chase down Tom Brady's records.
That dramatic late pass to Mecole Hardman not only gave the Chiefs a 25-22 win over the San Francisco 49ers and back-to-back Super Bowls, but put the rest of the NFL on notice that if you want to win a Lombardi Trophy these days, you have to find a way of beating Mahomes.
And as the confetti rained down in Las Vegas, what should really worry the other 31 teams in the league is that this could, and perhaps should, have been a good year to beat the Chiefs.
Mahomes had some of his lowest output totals across the board this season, his receivers led the league in dropped passes and he had to go on the road for the first time in the play-offs, winning their last three games as underdogs.
What the Chiefs proved, though, is that with Mahomes on board, they're never beaten. As he put it himself: "The Kansas City Chiefs are never underdogs - just know that."
