Patrick Mahomes on Chiefs' dynasty: 'We're not done'
CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson interviewed Mahomes on the field right after the final whistle.
"The guys never faltered," Mahomes said. "This is awesome. It’s legendary." Wolfson then asked the Super Bowl 58 MVP if the Chiefs are now a dynasty. "Yeah. It’s the start of one," he replied. "We’re not done. We’ve got a young team we’re going to keep this thing going."
During the postgame Lombardi Trophy presentation on the podium, Mahomes said the Super Bowl was a reflection of the Chiefs' whole season. "It was the defense just keeping us in there and then the offense making plays when it counted," he said. "And then, of course, Harrison Butker hitting it from about 70. So it was a microcosm of our whole season. I'm just proud of the guys, they kept believing. And I'm proud of the coaches for calling up those plays that got us some touchdowns there at the end.

Kelce then looked ahead to what's next, saying the Chiefs have their sights on a third-straight Super Bowl victory. “Well, you know, the goal’s always been to get three, but we couldn’t here without getting to two and having that target on our back all year — and I love these guys right here, the men that we just won this thing with, family forever, baby," he said.
