Glendale, Arizona – Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs were down 24-14 at the
half. But Mahomes showcased why he was the 2022 NFL MVP and led the
Chiefs to a 38-35 comeback win. The game, which for the first time saw
Black starting quarterbacks face off in the Super Bowl, was an
entertaining thriller from beginning to end.
Mahomes had another gutsy performance playing on an ankle that wasn’t
100%. He responded to questions about it after the game. “It felt great until I kind of rolled
it a little bit,” he said. “I felt really good and then that happened and 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. And I’m
glad it was enough for the win.”

Kansas City head coach Andy Reid praised the play of Mahomes.
“He’s seen the greats and he strives to be the greatest,” Reid said.
“Without saying anything, that’s the way he works. He wants to be the
greatest player ever. That’s what he wants to do, and that’s the way
he goes about his business. He does it humbly. There’s no bragging. He
could stand up here and give you these stats that are incredible that
he’s had, but he is never going to do that. That’s just not him, and
we appreciate that. Then when it’s time for the guys around him to
raise their game, he helps them with that. The great quarterbacks make
everybody around him better, including the head coach, so he’s done a
heck of a job.”

Rutgers University and first year running back for Kansas City Isiah Pacheco
rushed for 76 yards on 15 carries. Said Pacheco afterwards, “you know it’s a
dream come true. It was already written. My grandpa told. For me as a rookie,
continue on this path and eliminate distractions.”
Pacheco did that on the biggest stage of his young career.
