Tom Brady, renowned for his illustrious NFL career, secured seven Super Bowl titles, yet he continues to face scrutiny over the three he did not win. As Patrick Mahomes, quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, aims for his fourth Super Bowl victory in an upcoming game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Brady emphasizes the additional pressure that comes with the possibility of a Super Bowl loss. During a Saturday conversation with Colin Cowherd, Brady articulated his sentiments regarding the lasting impact of Super Bowl losses on a player's legacy.

Brady stated, "When you lose this game, this is on your resume forever. A loss in the Super Bowl matters more than any loss that you're ever going to be a part of." He humorously recounted his experiences with fans referencing some of his Super Bowl losses, noting, "No one remembers the loss I had to Peyton in the 2015 Championship Game. No one talks about the 2013 loss to Denver in the Championship Game. They all tell me about the losses in the Super Bowls, though." This remark illustrates the lingering memories of significant moments in Super Bowl history that overshadow other defeats.

Brady further acknowledged the uniquely memorable nature of some of his Super Bowl losses, such as those against Eli Manning and the New York Giants. Notably, in the 2007 season, the New England Patriots fell short of completing an undefeated campaign, largely due to David Tyree's famous helmet catch. Furthermore, the Super Bowl against the Eagles at the end of the 2017 season was a closely contested matchup, culminating in a 41-33 victory for Philadelphia, where Nick Foles famously executed the "Philly Special" trick play. Currently, Mahomes holds a record of 3-1 in Super Bowls, with his single loss occurring against Brady. While Brady is celebrated for his achievements with the Patriots, he also led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to victory over Mahomes' Chiefs in the Super Bowl following the 2020 season. This decisive 31-9 win could further impact future discussions regarding Mahomes' standing among the greatest players of all time. However, a loss in the upcoming game could weigh heavily on Mahomes, especially considering how passionate Philadelphia fans can be in their reminders of past Super Bowl defeats.
