Patrick Mahomes was magical when the Kansas City Chiefs desperately needed him to pull off another Super Bowl comeback. Playing on an injured ankle, Mahomes threw two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter and scrambled 26 yards on the go-ahead drive before Harrison Butker kicked a 27-yard field goal with 8 seconds left to give the Chiefs a 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night. The Chiefs won their second NFL title in four years and two-time NFL MVP Mahomes earned his second Super Bowl MVP award. Mahomes and Jalen Hurts excelled in the first Super Bowl matchup featuring two Black starting QBs. But Mahomes turned it up in the second half after reaggravating a sprained right ankle.
Mahomes is the 13th quarterback in NFL history to win multiple Super Bowl championships. Similar to their Super Bowl LIV win over the San Francisco 49ers, the Chiefs rallied from 10 points down in the fourth quarter for Sunday’s victory, which wasn’t secured until Harrison Butker kicked a 27-yard field goal with eight seconds left.
Mahomes was 21-of-27 for 182 yards and three touchdowns and also rushed for 44 yards.
