In 2018, Patrick Mahomes threw 50 touchdowns and became the quarterback America was rooting for to finally dethrone Tom Brady. By 2024, he had three Super Bowl rings in six years and somehow became the villain himself. The no-look passes, "Jet Chip Wasp," the one-score magic, Taylor Swift on the jumbotron. The more he won, the more the love faded. The same story that played out with Brady, LeBron, and Steph started playing out with Mahomes in real time. Then in 2025, an ACL and LCL tear ended the season at 6-11. Brady tore his ACL at 31. Mahomes tore his at 30. Both had exactly three Super Bowl wins through their first eight seasons. Brady came back and won four more. The question now is whether Mahomes is on the same path or if 2025 was the beginning of the end. #patrickmahomes #nfl #chiefs #kansascity #tombrady #football #superbowl #nfl2026 Subscribe to Enjoy The Game for more deep-dives.
