The Athletic Football Show: A show about the NFL episodes

February 08, 2024 The Mahomes/Purdy contrast, the euphoria of a Super Bowl victory, and the keys to Super Bowl LVIII with Chase Daniel and Mitch Schwartz
We at The Athletic Football Show are lucky to have two members of our extended family who have been on Super Bowl Champions. We have the further good fortune of having one of those players be a recent teammate of Patrick Mahomes. So what's it like to win the Super Bowl? What's the week of prep like? What are the keys to Super Bowl LVIII? And where might Patrick Mahomes stand among the all-time greats if the Chiefs win on Sunday? Chase Daniel and Mitch Schwartz join Robert Mays to answer those questions, and more, on this episode of TAFS.
