Mark Wahlberg has jokingly claimed that his wife has stopped supporting the Patriots to jump on the Chiefs’ bandwagon, now that Patrick Mahomes and company are the hottest tickets in town. Rhea Dunham and her husband have supported the New England Patriots for as long as one can remember but now the actor has claimed the dynamic has changed.
The reason Mark Wahlberg brought up the Chiefs is because of his genuine worry that Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes will eventually surpass Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. He said,
And Mark Wahlberg has good reason to be afraid. Until this year, the Patriots were the last team to win back-to-back Super Bowls. But not only did the Chiefs match that, they are now trying for a never-before-done three-peat.
The New England dynasty included six Super Bowls and Kansas City is already halfway there. Patrick Mahomes is just 28 years old, which means he has the opportunity to play at a high level for at least a decade. In Travis Kelce, he also has a weapon similar to how Tom Brady had Rob Gronkowski and could rely on him in crunch postseason games.
Suddenly, Patriots fans are wondering about the couple of Super Bowls that got away from them at the height of their dynasty. Both their losses to the New York Giants, when they were the favorites, will especially rankle them now. Tom Brady went a decade between winning his third and fourth Super Bowls and now Mark Wahlberg and others like him can only hope that such misfortune befalls Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs as well.
