Andrews was in Las Vegas as the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback won his third Super Bowl ring, beating out the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 at Allegiant Stadium.
Mahomes is now in elite quarterback company, drawing level with Troy Aikman with three titles.
Still only 28, he could potentially have Brady’s seven rings in his sights.
Andrews discussed the fallout from the Super Bowl with her colleague Charissa Thompson on hit podcast Calm Down.
She revealed how Mahomes is now the player who gets her off her seat when watching the NFL.
“The guy is a GOAT. He is un-f**king-believable”, said Andrews.
“He is a bada**. And an even better person.
“I am beyond grateful that we get to be a part of this ride with Patrick, Travis [Kelce], and the Chiefs.”
Andrews watched Mahomes’ heroics on February 11 from the stands with CBS covering the event.

And Charissa agreed that the 28-year-old quarterback is already an all-time great.
“We’re lucky enough to get a front-row seat [because of our jobs],” Thompson added.
“I’ve been able to sit down with Patrick a bunch of times. He is so calm, cool, and collected.
“I watched him sitting on the bench at [Super Bowl LVIII] and he was like ‘la, la, la’, staring around.
“As if he was thinking, ‘Oh look, a squirrel.’ If you give Patrick Mahomes the ball in his hand, at the end of the game, chances are you’re gonna lose.”
Andrews and Thompson launched their popular podcast in 2021.
It aims to cover all “the conversations you would have with your friends when you think others aren’t listening,” per the pair’s Apple Podcasts page.
The pair will get the chance to work side-by-side with Brady as he takes up a new role with Fox next season.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion has signed a 10-year broadcast deal with the network worth $375 million.
