Standing in Brady's way of another championship is Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. He's trying to lead the Chiefs to back-to-back titles. The last team to win consecutive Super Bowls was Brady's New England Patriots in 2003 and 2004.
The Chiefs are the betting favorites despite playing in the Buccaneers' home venue of Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay.
