There’s a compelling argument to be made that Chiefs running back Damien Williams should have been Super Bowl MVP. While Patrick Mahomes engineered Kansas City’s fourth-quarter comeback, his performance was fairly pedestrian by the lofty standards he’s set for himself (26-of-42 passing for 268 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions). Williams, meanwhile, rushed for 104 yards on just 17 carries and scored two touchdowns (one running and one receiving).
It was a breakout performance for a guy who went undrafted out of Oklahoma in 2014 and hadn’t had more than 11 carries in an NFL game before the Chiefs signed him in 2018.
