For two years, Patrick Mahomes has been the centerpiece of the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive explosion. He’s produced highlight reels full of no-look passes, elusive scrambles and darts to streaking wide receivers downfield. He’s thrown 50 touchdown passes in a single regular season, overcome a brief knee injury and won an NFL MVP. Now, he is also a Super Bowl champion.
While the Kansas City star quarterback played far from his best on Sunday, the Chiefs outlasted the 49ers 31-20 to win Super Bowl LIV. Mahomes threw for 286 yards and totaled three touchdowns, making timely plays throughout the fourth quarter to outlast the Niners, who led throughout the majority of the second half.
