Super Bowl LIX might not have ended the way that Patrick\u00a0M<\/a>ahomes and the Kansas City\u00a0Chiefs wanted. Although the team wanted to capture its third straight Lombardi Trophy, the Philadelphia Eagles thwarted that attempt in February. Now, the focus is undoubtedly on getting to Super Bowl number four. However, Mahomes is still an avid fan of his alma mater, Texas Tech. On Monday night, he had reason to celebrate his\u00a0alma mater\u2019s softball team\u2019s win\u00a0over Oklahoma.<\/p>\n

\u201cAHHHHHHHHHHHHH LETS GOOOO!!!!!!!! @TexasTechSB,\u201d posted Mahomes on the social media platform Monday.<\/p>\n

Even as he has risen to the top of the NFL mountaintop,\u00a0Mahomes\u2019 love for the\u00a0Red Raiders still burns strong. He attends sporting events whenever he\u2019s able, including earlier this year when the Texas Tech\u2019s men\u2019s basketball team played in the NCAA Tournament. Even off the field, it\u2019s clear that Mahomes\u2019 competitive fire still burns strong. Will that fire continue as he and the Chiefs prep for the 2025 season?<\/p>\n

Can Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs make fourth straight Super Bowl?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

2025 might be the end of\u00a0an era for Kansas City.<\/a>\u00a0Legendary tight end\u00a0Travis Kelce<\/a>\u00a0might be playing his final season. The need for more weapons around Mahomes is apparent. The Chiefs brass, led by GM Brett Veach and head coach Andy Reid, also need to protect their quarterback. Hence the additions on the offensive line with offensive tackles Josh Simmons (2025 first-round selection) and Jaylon Moore. They also added rookie wide receiver Jalen Royal and running back Brashard Smith in the draft.<\/p>\n

Not to mention, veteran running back\u00a0Kareem Hunt<\/a>\u00a0is back for another run, along with new backup quarterbacks Gardner Minshew and Bailey Zappe. Veach and Reid have added more pieces, and it\u2019s up for the other players in the offensive core, particularly Kelce and wide receivers Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice, to rise up once again in 2025.\u00a0If Mahomes and the offense<\/a>\u00a0can return to its former level of lethality, then a fourth straight Super Bowl appearance could be in the cards come next February.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
