Patrick Mahomes’ legacy, a shaken Chiefs dynasty and what comes next: Sando’s Pick Six….. Check In

NEW ORLEANS — The second Patrick Mahomes interception, right before halftime of a Super Bowl that was already slipping away, left no doubt about what the Kansas City Chiefs must do to stabilize a dynasty shaken by the Philadelphia Eagles in the Superdome.
We’ll get to that soon enough, but with Kansas City suffering a 40-22 defeat to spoil its shot at the first Super Bowl three-peat, the Pick Six column begins with a counterintuitive proclamation.
This defeat actually draws Mahomes’ Chiefs closer to Tom Brady’s New England Patriots in the dynasty department. Both quarterbacks lost Super Bowls as favorites to end their seventh seasons as starters. Both squandered historic opportunities that could have set them apart. For Brady, it was the perfect season, wrecked by Eli Manning’s New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII. For Mahomes, it was the elusive three-peat, buried under a green sea of Eagles pass rushers.
