- Mahomes seeks to be part of the first three-peat in the Super Bowl era
- The quarterback wants to run a play that is very familiar to Kansas City fans.
- DailyMail.com provides the latest international sports news.
Patrick Mahomes insisted that the Kansas City Chiefs will seal the historic Super Bowl triplet next February in New Orleans.
Mahomes and the Chiefs won their second straight championship over the San Francisco 49ers earlier this year, and a victory in next season’s title showdown would be the first three-peat in the Super Bowl era.
The Green Bay Packers’ trio of NFL titles from 1965 to 1967 was the last three-peat in American football history, just before the first Super Bowl.
Mahomes also revealed that the game-winning touchdown thrown to Mecole Hardman in overtime was not designed with the receiver as the primary target. However, the 49ers defense left him in the open slot.
The intention of the play was a shovel pass to Jerick McKinnon to try to win the game. Then Mahomes watched Hardman open with just the end zone and a second straight Super Bowl victory in front of him.

Hardman’s winning score was a play called a corndog, in which a receiver feigned his intention to cross the field and then shuffled back to the direction from which he had come.
That play was also made with Kadarius Toney coming in for Hardman for a 5-yard touchdown against the Eagles in last year’s Super Bowl.
Mahomes has committed to running the play for a touchdown in a third straight Super Bowl.
Who will be the target 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 some mistakes late last season.
There’s always Travis Kelce waiting in the wings, who will no doubt have a lot of eyes on him.
