Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are looking to win yet another Super Bowl this weekend as they will be taking on the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans. Mahomes has already won three Super Bowls as the Chiefs have won the last two, and they also won it in 2020. A third straight championship would be Mahomes’ fourth ring, but he still can’t help but think about his baseball dreams despite being one of the best football players of all time.
Mahomes is an all-around athlete, and he is very good at baseball too. He is obviously better at football and things have obviously worked out well for him on the gridiron, but he is passionate about baseball as well.

Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City got their run started in the Divisional round as they hosted the Houston Texans. The Texans put up a good fight on the road against the one seed, but the Chiefs were ultimately too much as they earned a 23-14 win.
Philadelphia punched their ticket to the NFC Championship by taking down the Los Angeles Rams. That one came right down to the wire as the Rams were in position to win the game, but the Eagles got a stop deep in their own territory to seal it.
We all saw what happened two weekends ago as the Eagles cruised past the Commanders and the Chiefs outlasted the Bills in another incredible dogfight. Now, there are only a few days before the Super Bowl, and it won’t be long at all before we know who the kings of the NFL are in 2025.
The Eagles and Chiefs will kick off the Super Bowl at 6:30 ET on February 9th from Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, and the game will be airing on Fox. The Chiefs are currently favored by 1.5...
