Because AFC Championship Game on Sunday is a bigger deal for Patrick Mahomes like Tom Brady

It ‘was a rebound season for the NFL. The score is high, with the four on offense strong teams in the league – the Kansas City Chiefs, the Los Angeles Rams, New Orleans Saints and New England Patriots – reached the round conference championship. Pro football is fun hear back. Defense wins championships? Bollocks. After a long year in 2017, TV ratings were up. So it’s just that in a bullish year for football fans are properly treated with a matchup particularly dreamy conference Sunday league, January 20, which will be when the Kansas City Chiefs, their incredibly sidekicks year quarterback talent, Patrick Mahomes, host of the Brady house, New England Patriots in the AFC title game. (The New Orleans Saints, the Los Angeles Rams in the Big Easy plays in another matchup Sunday.) The duel counts Mahomes-Brady as nothing less than a generational struggle for the heart and soul of the NFL. Hyperbole? Could be. It ‘just a sport, though, so you can run with it. As the NFL playoff games go, the stakes are serious. Brady, the only quarterback, the five Super Bowl trophies has set new standards of excellence football is set. His diet quinoa and avocado ice cream, irritating, though it may be, pays off: at 41, he played in eighth with light conference championship. On the target side of the ball, Mahomes is football version of Stephen Curry. Clips of his “you’re damn kidding me” plays – launch with the weak hand and side arm and to look over his body and without, and on the run – glow on the Internet, such as curry ridiculous by three points. This season Mahomes, 23, only the second quarterback ever to throw for at least 5,000 yards and throw at least 50 TD passes in the same season. Only Mahomes, Brady and Peyton Manning threw 50 or more TD passes in a season. A quarterback was the face of the game for over a decade. With a win, the other can accelerate its quest to succeed him. The NFC Championship game between the Saints and Rams, like an aging wells inevitably Hall of Famer against a rising star. New Orleans’ Drew Brees, who has just turned 40, is a Super Bowl champion, who overcame the greatest brother in Manning this season records of all time for passing yards career; Brees now has 74,437 compared to 71,940 Manning. Goff is a franchise QB authentic, falling in some eye-catching performance, as his 465 yards, five touchdown game against the Minnesota Vikings in a Thursday night three days rest is rotated in September. He had a perfect passer rating that night. Yet Brees Goff sizzles not wear the same Mahomes Brady. Not the best of times is generally. The others have not already put all-time record. Brady appears on Sunday to face greater pressure. The time has finally run on it. This might be his last chance to win a sixth Super Bowl. Mahomes, meanwhile, is just starting. If he misses this opportunity, it will definitely come back soon? Except that nothing is quite sure, especially in the NFL. This game is more of a must-win for Mahomes. Kansas City finished the regular season with a better record of New England, is based in advantageous and offers superior firepower on his list. List the KC oddsmakers as favorites. Legend Brady is already safe. Mahomes, as good as it could be a couple of bad breaks going to take the front. Maybe injuries. Maybe he born on the team. With its salary cap structure, the economic model NFL breeds of parity. So maybe another team was created, aside from the leaders in the years of warranty. Bill Belichick has somehow violated the NFL, and keeps teams created to fight for a championship. The odds are long that Kansas City is doing the same. Dan Marino reached the Super Bowl, when he was 23; Joe Montana San Francisco 49ers crushed and his Miami Dolphins Marino never returned. In 2012, Colin Kaepernick 25, shocked the NFL and reached a Super Bowl, a few meters from potentially up for grabs. (Ironically, Kaepernick moved Alex Smith as the starter in San Francisco when Mahomes in Kansas City has gone six years later.) The former ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski Kaepernick gushed that “could never be one of the most great quarterback. ” But inconsistency, injuries and controversy derailed Kaepernick. Sure, Mahomes’ 2018 season was statistically superior to Kaepernick initial burst. Mahomes is to champion a better quarterback and it seems unlikely to turn against him caused. But it can not completely reject Kaeperick as a cautionary tale. Or check out Russell Wilson. In only his third season, at age 26, he was one of Lynch-yard TD run a Marshawn to participate in the pantheon of great quarterback to win back-to-back Super Bowl titles (Brady, Joe Montana, Troy Aikman and Terry Bradshaw, to name a few). Then Seattle coach Pete Carroll has called to pass. Malcolm Butler picked off Wilson. A potential dynasty Seattle vanished. Wilson is far from a lock for a game of the NFC Championship, for fear that a Super Bowl. The stock is volatile. An old Brady Brees Super Bowl wearing a sentimental value. But Rams-leaders would be quite delicious, a new edition of one of the best games of the season never set, a wild air show Monday night that Los Angeles won 54-51. More than any other game this season, which marks a conical NFL. The future is now. Mahomes and Goff have just grab now. No pressure. Correction January 18 The original version of this story sounds misrepresentation conference in Russell Wilson. And ‘the NFC, not the AFC.
