NFL Legend Drew Brees shares his thoughts on Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes’ success

The Kansas City Chiefs’ Christmas Day victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers clinched the top seed in the conference and served as a historic broadcast. Netflix debuted its NFL coverage with the Week 17 game, and one of the best quarterbacks in league history was an analyst.

Clutch Points host Rob Lepelstat recently interviewed New Orleans Saints legend and Netflix NFL analyst Drew Brees about what makes Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes an all-time great and so hard for opposing defenses to stop.

“He’s extremely smart. He can make every throw. He knows he can make every throw, he’s got ultimate confidence.” said Brees. “He’s wise, though. He takes care of the ball; He knows situations He knows how to manipulate the game.”

Brees will likely be a first-ballot Hall of Famer once he’s eligible after a record-setting career. Mahomes has outpaced him in several statistical categories since his first year as a starter and could be on his way to achieving the first-ever Super Bowl three-peat.

According to Nielsen, the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans (24.3 million average minute audience) and the Chiefs vs. Steelers (24.1 million average minute audience) were the most-streamed NFL games in U.S. history.
