The Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday defeated the San Francisco 49ers 31-20 in Super Bowl LIV, marking the team’s first championship season in 50 years. The comeback victory was fueled by Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who was named the Super Bowl MVP.
Mahomes, 24, became the youngest player in NFL history to win the regular-season MVP and a Super Bowl title. After trailing by 10 points in the fourth quarter, the third-year quarterback led his offense to score 21 unanswered points. He finished with two passing touchdowns, a rushing score, 286 yards through the air and one interception on the night.
“We never lost faith, that’s the biggest thing. Everybody on this team, no one had their head down and we believed in each other — that’s what we preached all year long,” Mahomes said in his post-game interview.
