Patrick Mahomes doesn't understand the villain label that has been attached to the Kansas City Chiefs as they prepare for their fifth Super Bowl appearance in seven seasons.
Asked about the "villain" narrative around the Chiefs during Super Bowl Opening Night, Mahomes rejected it by saying "we believe we play the game the right way" and "embrace who we are" as a team.
The only thing the Chiefs have done that makes them a "villain" is win a lot. It happens in every single sport when there is one singular dominant team, fans and analysts want to find any reason to cut them down because at some point you just run out of ways to talk about them.
