Considering the legacy at stake for Chiefs, Mahomes, Reid at Super Bowl LVII: podcast

The Chiefs’ victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship Game meant a Super Bowl berth for Kansas City — but there is deeper meaning to the organization, Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes.

Star columnists Vahe Gregorian and Sam McDowell discuss these topics on today’s episode of the SportsBeat KC podcast. The Chiefs needed to win the AFC title game in order to continue to claim they’re the top dogs in the conference? Same for Mahomes as the league’s top quarterback. Losing to the Bengals and Joe Burrow for a second straight year would have been a major letdown.

Also, how will history look upon the Chiefs if they beat the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII? Mahomes, Reid and others in the organization would be multiple-time NFL champs, and that’s an exclusive club.
