Patrick Mahomes was named MVP as he lifted the Kansas City Chiefs to Super Bowl LVII victory with a 38-35 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.

Following the victory, Mahomes and the Chiefs will head to Disney World to partake in the winners’ parade, which is set to commence at 4:30 p.m. ET on Monday. Mahomes walked away with the MVP title despite aggravating his high ankle injury during the first half of the Eagles’ game. He continued with the game despite the setback, even scrambling 26 yards on the drive leading up to the Chiefs’ game-winning field goal.

“It felt great until I kind of rolled it a little bit,” Mahomes said of his injury. “I thought I felt really good and then that happened, and I had a lot of soreness going through into halftime and was able to move it around, kind of get taped up a little bit, and go out there in that second half. It didn’t feel good, but I was going to leave it all out there.”

This triumph marks the Chiefs’ Super Bowl comeback, having lost 31-9 to the Tampa Bay Buccanneers in Super Bowl LV. By winning this year’s Super Bowl, Mahomes becomes the 13th quarterback in the NFL to win multiple Super Bowl championships.

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said that his right ankle is on the mend ahead of his team’s Super Bowl LVII showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. He stated that he does not expect to be limited in terms of playing ability because of the injury setback, despite there being no guarantees.

“You won’t know exactly how it is until you get to game day,” Mahomes remarked. “I mean, I definitely move around better than I was moving last week or two weeks ago. So, it’s just trying to continue to get the treatment and the rehab and get it as close to 100% and then rely on some adrenaline to let me do a little bit extra when I’m on the field.”

Mahomes suffered a high ankle sprain during the Chiefs’ Divisional Round 27-20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on January 21, when a Jaguars’ pass rusher landed on it during the first quarter. While Mahomes pushed through his injury to see out the game, he had to alter his playing style in order to accommodate for his injury. Mahomes started the 23-20 Western Conference Championship win over the Cincinnati Bengals and is expected to play in Super Bowl LVII.

“The win is amazing,” Mahomes said with regard to his and the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LIV victory a year before their bitter defeat. “It’s one of the best moments of your entire life. You take away all the positives from that. But that loss, that stings. That motivates you for years. What it’s done for me is it’s motivated me to be back in this game again. I want to make sure that I can have that winning feeling and not that losing one because that losing feeling is one you’ll never forget.”

Upon facing the Eagles on Sunday, the Chiefs will appear in their third Super Bowl in four years. While Mahomes suffered a high ankle sprain during this year’s divisional round playoff against Jacksonville Jaguars, he played around his injury as the Chiefs emerged victorious.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes battled through his high ankle sprain to lead the Kansas City Chiefs to a 23-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship game on Sunday, thereby booking his team’s place in Super Bowl LVII.

“People don’t realize how hurt he was,” Kansas City general manager Brett Veach said of Mahomes. “We all saw the injury. High ankles are terrible injuries, and sometimes guys miss two, three weeks, and he was out there and running for a first down and a big play in the game that got us in field goal range. But it just adds to an already great legacy.”

Mahomes was injured during his team’s victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars a week ago. Despite incurring the injury midgame, Mahomes pushed through to see out the remainder of the contest and went on to state his intention to play in the following game against the Bengals.

Despite playing through injury, the Chiefs quarterback made 29-of-43 passing while fumbling the ball just once throughout the game against the Bengals. In addition, he performed his final snap 17 seconds before the end of the game, thereby handing his team a last-minute victory.

Kansas City will face the Philadelphia Eagles at Super Bowl LVII on Sunday.

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback returned from injury to help his team defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-20 on Saturday, thereby booking a spot for the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game next Sunday. Still harboring his ankle injury, Mahomes was not a guaranteed starter leading up to Saturday’s game.

“It feels better than I thought it was going to be now,” Mahomes said of his ankle following the Chiefs’ win. “Obviously, I have a lot of adrenaline going right now, so we’ll see how it feels. But I’ll hop right in the treatment and try to do whatever I can to be as close to 100 percent by next week. Luckily for us, we played the early game on Saturday, so we get an extra almost half a day that I can let that ankle rest.”

The Chiefs have scheduled an MRI for Mahomes on Sunday in order to gain further clarity on the quarterback’s injury recovery status. The player injured his ankle after falling awkwardly during the first quarter of the Jaguars’ game

Although the Chiefs wanted Mahomes to head to the locker room for X-rays, the 27-year-old player refused, instead choosing to continue the game. He later gave in to the team’s X-ray request, going on to perform some agility tests.

Kansas City Chiefs’ postseason run seemed over just one quarter into their Sunday’s AFC Divisional Round game against Houston Texans. They made some costly mistakes and fell behind 21 points, facing the inevitable end of their efforts to reach the Super Bowl. Then the Texans scored a field goal to open the second quarter, and Chiefs looked like they have no chance of getting back into the game. But Kansas City’s offense and quarterback Patrick Mahomes didn’t intend to give up just yet.

Following Houston’s FG score, Chiefs responded with a monstrous second quarter in which they scored 28 unanswered points and entered the halftime with a 28-24 lead. En route to comeback, Mahomes tied the NFL record with four touchdown passes in one quarter.

Chiefs continued in the same manner in the second half, scoring 13 more points before Texans responded with a touchdown. But Houston couldn’t do much more, and Kansas City cruised to end the game with 51-31 written on the scoreboard. This was the first time in the history of NFL playoffs that one team won the contest by 20 points after trailing 20 points at one moment.

“These are things that we haven’t done,” Reid said. “That’s not us, right? It was just a matter of settling it down and calming the storm and making sure that our guys knocked whatever rust off and calmed down and made plays. We’ve been doing that all year, and it was important we got back to doing that. We were able to rebound. A lot of teams can’t do that.”

Kansas City Chiefs will now face the Tennessee Titans, who previously upset top-seeded Baltimore Ravens, in the AFC Championship game next weekend.

In the second Sunday’s game, Green Bay Packers defeated Settle Seahawks 28-23 and will face San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game.

Kansas City Chiefs’ young quarterback Patrick Mahomes II only started one game in NFL, but there are already lots of people who are high on the 22-year-old. One of them is former Chiefs’ All-Pro linebacker Tamba Hali, who recently compared Mahomes to legendary Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame QB Brett Favre.

You’re going to get a complete player,” – Hali gushed about Mahomes during a recent guest appearance on the NFL Network’s Good Morning Football. “I mean, he’s a smart player. He can throw the ball. Athletically, he’s gifted. You don’t have to coach it. In practice, I’d watch him just look guys off. I mean, Eric Berry, you look him off and complete the ball. He did it to Marcus Peters a lot. So, people don’t know what’s coming. I don’t want to hype him, but I compare him to Brett Favre. He runs around the field and he throws the ball and he’s just having fun.”

Surprisingly, Hali isn’t the only one to compare Patrick Mahomes to Brett Favre. Mahomes draw the same comparison even before he entered the league since many analysts thought that his athleticism and a strong passing arm resemble the physical traits of Favre.

Interesting thing is that Patrick Mahomes has Andy Reid as his head coach, a man who worked with Favre for seven years during his time as an assistant with the Packers.

In the lone game he started in 2017, Patrick Mahomes already showed a glimpse of his talent by completing 22 of 35 passes for 284 yards and leading his team to a 27–24 win against Denver Broncos. This was enough for the Kansas City Chiefs to bet their future on him, and have already traded away their starting quarterback Alex Smith with the intention to make Mahomes the started for 2018.
