Mahomes not focused on matching Brady's Super Bowl success

Patrick Mahomes versus Tom Brady is one of the major storylines heading into Sunday's matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV.

While many believe Mahomes is the only player with a chance of matching Brady's career success, the Chiefs quarterback isn't concerned with how many Super Bowl titles he'll go on to win. His focus is only on winning it for a second straight year.

"We don't look that far ahead," Mahomes said Wednesday, according to ESPN's Adam Teicher. "I'm focused on this game right now, trying to win this second Super Bowl and be able to hold that Lombardi Trophy and have a second ring. But if I'm at the end of my career and I have a lot of Super Bowl rings on my hand, I'll be happy."

He added, "The goal is to win as many Super Bowls as possible and to be playing in this game every single year. I'm going to have that mindset every time I hit the field."

Mahomes led the Chiefs to a Super Bowl title over the San Francisco 49ers last season and is trying to help Kansas City become the first team since the 2003-04 New England Patriots to lift the Lombardi Trophy in back-to-back campaigns.

Brady, meanwhile, will make his 10th Super Bowl appearance Sunday looking to add to his record of six titles. The 43-year-old, who joined the Buccaneers during the offseason, has won all of his rings with the Patriots, the last one in Super Bowl LIII against the Los Angeles Rams.
