That matters when you're talking about "legacy" whether Chiefs fans want to act like they're too cool for it or not.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. Mahomes already has 13 wins in the Playoffs at age 28, which is insane for such a young guy. He is only 3 Playoff wins short of Joe Montana for #2 on the all-time list. He is probably gonna blow past Montana's number.
I think Patrick Mahomes already has a GREAT legacy and it's very likely to have more icing on the cake as he plays the rest of his career. He doesn't need to win the game this weekend. It would be amazing to get a win, but it's not a requirement by any means.
The Chiefs team has already gone much further than many of us expected this season after watching their dumpster fire game on Christmas Day. That did not look like a team that would be able to win any Playoff games. But they've won 2 of them and that's a pretty dang good result this season.
