Single-minded Patrick Mahomes has a second successive Super Bowl win in his crosshairs as the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback prepares to face the great Tom Brady's Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
All eyes will be on the Raymond James Stadium this Sunday as the reigning champions roll into town looking to prevent the record-breaking 43-year-old former New England Patriots star winning a seventh ring.
The sight of Brady hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy aloft would bring a sense of familiarity at the end of a strange NFL season, but Mahomes is determined to flourish in Florida and build on last year's triumph at Super Bowl LIV.
"The goal is to win as many Super Bowls as possible and be playing this game every single year," the supremely talented 25-year-old said.
"So, I'm going to have that mindset every single time I hit the field as I'm trying to win it.
"We don't look that far ahead. I'm focused on this game right now, trying to win this second Super Bowl and be able to hold that Lombardi Trophy and have that second ring.
"But if I'm at the end of my career and I had a lot of Super Bowl rings on my hand, I'll be happy."
Mahomes attempted to brush aside any focus on one day being put in the same bracket as Brady, who is widely considered the greatest to have played the game as he prepares for his 10th Super Bowl appearance.
"I think the thing I'm most proud of is that no one has become satisfied," Mahomes said. "No one's become happy with winning one Super Bowl championship.
"I mean, everybody's trying to make themselves better every single day and not trying to take a day for granted.
"You don't have that in every single organisation and every single locker room, and I think that's just come from the culture that Brett Veach (Chiefs general manager) and coach Reid have kind of instilled in us and that's to get better at least one per cent every single day.
"That's why I think we're in this game, and we have a chance for another Super Bowl championship."
The Chiefs' third ever Super Bowl victory would be an great way to start what is shaping up to be quite a month or so for Mahomes as his fiancee Brittany is expecting their first child.
"We're extremely ready, we're excited," he said. "We have all the things planned out and every single gadget and toy you can have to be great parents.
"But at the same I'm trying to tell her to hold off until after the game!
"But whenever it happens it happens but if we can wait to maybe a few weeks after the game that would probably be ideal."
