Six charter buses rolled through Louis Armstrong International Airport on Sunday. Inside: Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, and the rest of the Chiefs, fresh off their AFC Championship win. But it wasn’t just the team making noise. Fans lined the terminal, waving handmade signs and chanting “Three-peat!” New Orleans doesn’t just host parties—it lives them. But this week, the city’s usual rhythm of jazz trumpets and bead-tossing crowds has a new soundtrack—the thunderous heartbeat of Chiefs Kingdom.

Wide receiver Hollywood Brown captured the frenzy on his Instagram, sharing clips of kids holding a “Hollywood Is Super Bowl Bound” poster and crowds screaming, “Go Chiefs!!!!! Go Hollywood!!!!!” However, the Chiefs’ arrival wasn’t subtle.

Police escorts, airport parades, and even a neighborhood send-off for tight end Noah Gray orchestrated by the Olathe Police Department marked their departure from Kansas City. On Sunday evening, Reid and Mahomes stepped onto New Orleans soil, greeted by a sea of red jerseys. Brown’s social media tells the story, though.

A reel shows Chiefs players’ cars driving past fans stacked five-deep on sidewalks. While another story features a group posing with a poster that reads, “It’s Showtime KC.” The caption? “Hollywood Brown Send-off ♥️🏉💛.” Meanwhile, Brown’s wife, Zoei Billions, added to the hype, posting a video of their family celebrating the AFC title win earlier with the caption, “Memories worth a lifetime❤️.” But Brown isn’t just a fan favorite—he’s a wildcard.

After a quiet divisional round (zero catches vs. Houston), he bounced back with three receptions for 35 yards against Buffalo. Meanwhile, at 2:40 p.m., the Eagles touched down in NOLA. However, all eyes shifted to the Chiefs’ planes by 4:05 p.m. With a third straight Super Bowl appearance, Patrick Mahomes joins Tom Brady as the only QB to achieve the feat. Reid? He’s chasing Don Shula’s coaching record—and immortality.

Reid and Mahomes: Chasing greatness

Tom Brady and Bill Belichick own six Super Bowl rings together. Reid and Mahomes? They’re on the cusp of a three-peat—a first in NFL history. “This run is one of the best and longest,” Belichick told The Star via email. “Andy’s accomplishments are extraordinary.” Meanwhile, Mahomes needs just 87 passing yards to surpass legends like Elway and Montana in Super Bowl history.

His 172 career rushing yards in the big game already top all QBs—yes, even Jalen Hurts’ 70-yard effort in a 38-35 loss against the Chiefs. Reid’s secret? Let players shine as themselves. “He’s very locked in on just, ‘How can we be great with our cadence today at practice?’” Mahomes said. Moreover, that philosophy birthed trick plays, no-look passes, and Travis Kelce’s end-zone dances.

Besides, New Orleans isn’t just hosting a game—it’s hosting a coronation. The Chiefs carry the weight of history, the roar of their community, and Reid’s relentless precious present mindset. It’s a chance to silence doubters for Brown. For Patrick Mahomes, it’s about catching Brady. For Chiefs Kingdom? It’s simple: Three-peat or bust.

As the sun sets on Bourbon Street, one sign might be peeking out that perhaps says, ‘Hollywood Ending Incoming.’ Lights, camera, legacy—it’s showtime.
