Go ahead, put another chip on the shoulder of Patrick Mahomes as the Kansas City Chiefs look to win the Super Bowl for an unprecedented third straight time.
Mahomes has three Super Bowl MVPs to his credit, but only two league MVP awards in the regular season. Clearly the best player in the league over the past handful of years, Mahomes hasn't won the award nearly as much as you would imagine.
He's sort of like the NFL's LeBron James, who has won just four MVP awards in 21 NBA seasons. Does that make any sense? Like James, Mahomes should have more MVP hardware on his mantle.
During the Super Bowl era, Peyton Manning leads the NFL with five league MVPs. He won two titles, including one late in his career with the Denver Broncos, a team led by a dominant defense.
