— Quarterback Patrick Mahomes was named MVP after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 for the franchise’s second Super Bowl victory in four years.
“He’s the MVP. The MVP,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said in his postgame on-field interview. “That’s all that needs to be said: MVP.”
Mahomes, hobbled with what appeared to be the same high ankle sprain suffered earlier in the postseason, keyed a second-half rally and finished the night 21-of-27 passing for 182 yards and three touchdowns. He was masterful on the game-winning drive, a 12-play, 66-yard series that churned out 5:07 of fourth-quarter clock and resulted in a 27-yard Harrison Butker field goal with 8 seconds to go.
