Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and Super Bowl LVII MVP Patrick Mahomes had his fair share of highlights in the Super Bowl victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. But FS1’s Nick Wright believes one play, in particular, was the best of Mahomes’s career thus far.
“I actually think that is the singular best play of his career,” Wright said of Mahomes. “I don’t think they win without that moment. I think the fact that, as all of the true all-time legendary players, when they are compromised almost seem to keep one extra gear in reserve.”

What play is Wright talking about? Mahomes’s 26-yard scramble late in the fourth quarter, of course.
The play occurred during Kansas City’s final offensive drive of the game. On a 1st-and-10 play from Philadelphia’s 43 yard line with 2:55 left in the game, Mahomes dropped back to pass before scrambling up the middle of the field for 26 yards.
