Much ado has been made about Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes getting special treatment in regard to calls made by NFL referees.
It all comes as the Chiefs are looking to win their third championship in a row against the Philadelphia Eagles at Super Bowl LIX on Sunday. A similar narrative was created about New England Patriots legend Tom Brady during the Patriots' dynasty.
Nevertheless, the Patriots shut down the outside noise and won six Super Bowls over a 20-year span.
Brady is now in a position to take a step back and appreciate the present-day stars in the league, including Mahomes.
