KANSAS CITY — Patrick Mahomes was 6 years old the first time Tom Brady played in the AFC Championship Game. Now they’ll be on Arrowhead Stadium field together, trying to lead their respective teams to the Super Bowl.
It’s remarkable that Mahomes, 23, made it here in his first season running the Chiefs’ offense. It’s even more remarkable that Brady, 41, and the Patriots are here — AGAIN.
Brady is 18 years and one month older than Mahomes. When the two square off on Sunday it will be the biggest age difference between starting quarterbacks in NFL playoff history.
