Pressure will be on quarterbacks Brady and Mahomes. Mahomes secured the Chief’s spot at the Super Bowl, kicking out the San Fransisco 49ers, while Brady led the Buccaneers to victory against Green Bay.

Brady has only been with his team for only a season, while Mahomes lead the Cheifs to their first Super Bowl win in 50 years at SuperBowl LVI in 2020. Mahomes, aware of the impending clash, made a jibe at Brady:

“Being able to go up against one of the greatest, if not the greatest quarterback of all time in his 150th Super Bowl, mean it’s going to be a great experience for me.”

Brady, 43, has won six rings throughout his career and is making his 10th appearance at the Super Bowl with the Buccaneers after building his impressive career with the New England Patriots.

In the midst of all his supporters and detractors, Brady is getting encouraging support from his corner. His son Jack with ex-girlfriend actress Bridgit Moynahan was there to witness his win against Green Bay.

Brady ran over to the sidelines to celebrate with his son. The warm moment was captured for all to see. Moynahan also shared a pic of the two and praised Brady, clarifying whose side she is on.

Mahomes may be looking to upset Brady’s high. The athlete is looking to make the Chiefs one of the only back to back Super Bowl champions, a record-breaking feat also achieved by Tom Brady in 2004 - 2005.
