Kansas takes down Philadelphia in Super Bowl LVII

Mahomes sweet Mahomes.

The Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs always feel like they have the home field advantage — or rather Mahomes field advantage — with Patrick Mahomes at quarterback.

In the 57th edition of football’s grandest occasion, Philadelphia Eagles’QB Jalen Hurts was outstanding.

But Mahomes, operating on a gimpy ankle, was a tad better, especially in the clutch, and that’s how the Chiefs were able to prevail, 38-35 against the Eagles, in Glendale, Ariz.

It marks KC’s second Super Bowl title in four years. The Chiefs lost in the final game to Tampa Bay two years back, and fell to Cincinnati in last year’s AFC title game.

Modestly, here’s how Mahomes said it:

“The failures … they gave me a great, great appreciation to be standing here as champion.”

It was the first time two Black quarterbacks had gone head to head in the Super Bowl. Hurts had the early edge before Mahomes began plucking Eagles feathers.

Hurts was 27 for 38 for 304 yards passing 103.4 passer rating. Plus, he ran 15 times for 70 yards and three touchdowns.

Earning his second Super Bowl MVP, Mahomes was 21 for 27 for 182 yards and three TDs (131.8 rating). Despite the swollen ankle, he scampered for 26 yards on the final possession, setting up the decisive field goal.

This came as no surprise.

Over the past four seasons, with Mahomes taking the snaps from center, KC is 52-14 overall during the regular season and 10-2 in the playoffs.

With Tom Brady having retired, is it time to pass the torch of GOAT to Mahomes. At age 27, the former Texas Tech star is just warming up.

According to Caesars Sportsbook, the Chiefs are the clear favorites to win Super Bowl LVIII next year at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Location doesn’t seem to matter for the Chiefs — not as long as they have the Mahomes field advantage.
