Out of all the intriguing storylines that Super Bowl LV offers, there is perhaps none bigger than the matchup of quarterbacks. On one sideline stands Tom Brady, arguably the greatest quarterback of all time. Playing in his tenth Super Bowl, Brady has a chance to win his seventh Lombardi Trophy, a phenomenal accomplishment. It would also be his first away from the New England Patriots, in just his first season with the team.
Then there is the other quarterback, who in just the infancy of his career already seems on the verge of overtaking Brady’s mantle as the G.O.A.T. sooner rather than later. In just three years as a starting quarterback in the league Patrick Mahomes has made it to two Super Bowls and is looking to win his second, becoming the first quarterback to win back-to-back Super Bowls since…Brady.
While Mahomes might not have replicated his videogame numbers of the past two seasons, this was still a tremendous campaign for the young passer. Here is a look at what we saw on film from Patrick Mahomes during the 2020 season.
