Patrick Mahomes insisted the Kansas City Chiefs will seal the historic Super Bowl three-peat next February in New Orleans.
Mahomes and the Chiefs won their second consecutive championship over the San Francisco 49ers earlier this year, and a victory from next season’s title matchup would be the first three-peat in the Super Bowl era.
The Green Bay Packers‘ trio of NFL titles from 1965-1967 was the last three-peat in American football history, just before the first Super Bowl.
The play’s intention was a shovel pass to Jerick McKinnon to try and win the game. Then Mahomes saw Hardman open with only the end zone, and a second-straight Super Bowl win, in front of him.

PATRICK MAHOMES SAYS THE #CHIEFS WILL WIN THE SUPER BOWL AGAIN NEXT SEASON.
That would make it a three-peat for KC.

Hardman’s winning score was a play named ‘corndog’, with a receiver faking his intent to go across the field, then shuffling back to the direction he came from.
That play was also ran with Kadarius Toney in Hardman’s spot for a 5-yard touchdown against the Eagles in last year’s Super Bowl.
Mahomes has pledged to run the play for a touchdown in a third straight Super Bowl.
Who will be the targeted receiver for that dream-worthy third straight Super Bowl corndog touchdown?
Hardman is a free agent and Toney has fallen out of favor with the Chiefs after a few missteps late last season.
There is always Travis Kelce waiting in the wings, who no doubt will have plenty of eyes on him.
