This year’s big game saw defending champions the Kansas City Chiefs face the San Francisco 49ers.
And Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had Tom Brady in his sights - as he bid to win a third Super Bowl.
Mahomes prepared to star in his fourth Super Bowl in six seasons in Sunday’s clash against the 49ers in Las Vegas.
Brady’s record seven Super Bowl titles saw him retire from the NFL as the game’s undisputed greatest of all time.
But Mahomes, 28, had the chance to move to within four titles of Brady, who retired at the age of 45.
“If you ask me that question [of emulating Brady] in 15 years, I’ll see if I can get close to seven,” he said in a press conference to preview Sunday’s blockbuster match.
“But seven does seem like a long way away.
“I have won only two Super Bowls so there are a couple of other guys in front of me before I even get close to chasing Tom.”
