Patrick Mahomes reveals what Tom Brady told him after the Patriots beat the Chiefs in the 2019 AFC Championship… and how it helped him have a Super Bowl-winning mindset

winner said to the now-three-time winner and Mahomes finally shed some light on their conversation.

Mahomes opened up on the devastation of working so hard to try and make it to the Super Bowl that year only to fall short but he insisted that his chat with Brady encouraged him to maintain his level of effort. ‘There tears in that locker room, we thought we had the chance to win the Super Bowl that year and we’d fallen short.

‘After everything had calmed down and I was going through the back tunnels, he grabbed me and pulled me to the side. All he really said was, ‘You’re doing it the right way, continue doing it the way you’re doing it.’

‘That for me was a stamp of approval, I’m going to continue to work this hard. Because if he says I’m doing it the right way, that’s the guy you want to be saying that.

‘Him seeing that from the opposite end of a football field and seeing the hard work I’ve put in and how I’ve developed in a season, that’s made me carry that mindset for the rest of my career.’

The Chiefs head coach Andy Reid also recently spoke about the moment between the two iconic signal callers, claiming that Brady told Mahomes he was ‘turning the keys over’ to him.
