Patrick Mahomes ended February 12th on top of the world after winning the Super Bowl for a second time while also being named MVP.
It was far from an easy day at the office for Mahomes who limped through the second half after aggravating the ankle injury that threatened to rule him out of the game altogether in the build-up. Despite the injury and trailing by ten points at halftime, Mahomes led the Chiefs to their second Super Bowl win in four years.
Mahomes completed 21 of 27 passes for 182 yards and three touchdowns, adding 44 rushing yards as the AFC champions ran out 38-35 winners. Despite ending up on the losing team, Philidelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for over 300 yards and ran in three touchdowns of his own.
