Turns out, there are plenty of reasons to root for the Chiefs to win it all for the second consecutive year. Here are five reasons why you should root for Kansas City again:.

If Mahomes is able to win the Super Bowl, that will be his second Super Bowl championship in four years -- which would match Tom Brady for the most Super Bowl titles in a quarterback's first four seasons in the league. Brady is the lone quarterback to win two Super Bowl titles in his first four seasons, so this would be rare company for Mahomes -- already the youngest player to win both a league MVP and a Super Bowl MVP.

The Brady era won't be over, but Mahomes will be the new sheriff in town. Reid finally earned his first Super Bowl championship last season, getting the one accomplishment missing on his Hall of Fame resume. If Reid gets his second Super Bowl title, he enters the conversation as one of the top five coaches ever.

Reid is sixth all-time in regular season head coaching wins , just four away from tying Curly Lambeau for fifth on the list. He has career combined victories regular and postseason , which is the fifth-highest total in NFL history Tom Landry is fourth with Reid tied Joe Gibbs for the fourth-most postseason wins all-time 17 , and will stand alone in fourth if the Chiefs win the Super Bowl this year -- trailing only Bill Belichick, Tom Landry, and Don Shula.

Only 13 coaches have won multiple Super Bowls. Reid will be -- at the very least -- in the conversation as one of the five greatest coaches ever, with more championships surely to come with Mahomes as his quarterback. Somehow, Eric Bieniemy has not been hired as a NFL head coach -- despite having one of the most impressive resumes among any candidate. Last week, in light of Bill Cowher and Jimmy Johnson's Hall of Fame induction announcements, I listed 10 current head coaches and their current odds at one day joining Cowher and Johnson in Canton.

Reid, who has now led two different franchises to the Super Bowl, was placed in the "most likely in" category, right under Patriots coach Bill Belichick the only Hall of Fame "lock" on the list and next to Pittsburgh's Mike Tomlin and Seattle's Pete Carroll. But beyond what a Super Bowl win would mean for his legacy, seeing Reid celebrate their AFC championship, praising his players, staff and Hunt family for their role in the win while also explaining what handing the Lamar Hunt Trophy to the Hunt family meant to him, how can you not root to see Reid to hoist a Lombardi Trophy in Miami?

Like Reid, Mahomes was on my list last week, but for a somewhat different reason. While that is still true, it's not the main reason why Mahomes continues to be No. He didn't know it at the time, but that would be the last time Marino would play on pro football's biggest stage; he would ultimately leave the game with the tag as the greatest quarterback in NFL history not to win a Super Bowl. On Sunday, fans watched Aaron Rodgers , who will be fitted for a gold jacket five years after he retires, lose his third consecutive NFC title game.

Two weeks earlier, fans watched Drew Brees , the NFL's all-time leader in career passing yards and touchdown passes, suffer an upset loss to the Vikings in the first round of the playoffs.

And while "only" winning one Super Bowl may affect their legacies to a degree, at least Rodgers and Brees have a ring, something that Philip Rivers , who is the best active NFL quarterback without a ring, cannot claim. The recent playoff losses of Rodgers' Packers and Brees' Saints is also a reminder of how hard it is to win a Super Bowl.

While Mahomes is young and his team is littered with talent, that doesn't always guarantee future trip to the Super Bowl. Mahomes and the Chiefs may go onto play in the next three Super Bowls for all we know, but, based on recent history, it's a legitimate possibility that Feb.
