On a cold, brutal Kansas City winter afternoon, Tom Brady had just won another AFC championship game, just won an overtime shootout over the Chiefs, just sent his New England Patriots on their way to another Super Bowl, which two weeks later they’d win for Brady’s sixth title.
After that game in January 2019, he went looking for Patrick Mahomes. This was after the field was cleared and after a trophy ceremony, and even after Brady’s news conference. He’d missed Mahomes in the postgame swirl of the 37-31 victory. Now, he wanted to see him, which isn’t always the case with Brady and rival QBs.
