Some old comments from former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and current ESPN color commentator Troy Aikman have people talking after Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs won their third Super Bowl.

In it, the ex-Cowboys QB is responding to an article from The Athletic by saying that Mahomes threw 36 percent of Aikman’s career touchdowns in about 8 percent of the games.
Aikman responded, “Talk to me when he has 33% of my Super Bowl titles.”

Many Chiefs supporters immediately understood the message and asked Aikman for his thoughts.
