Mahomes

Patrick Mahomes thanked God for healing his body this week in the post-game interview on CBS TV in the US. And whether you believe in such a force or not, this was certainly an otherworldly performance from KC’s quarterback, who willed his team to victory on a serious high sprain that should have seen his ankle in a boot for weeks.

The catalog of magical Mahomes moments is already lengthy at the age 27, and he’ll have yet another opportunity to add on in just two weeks time, in Arizona, against the Philadelphia Eagles.

And we’ll be there, reporting on-site with plenty of coverage of Super Bowl LVII. For now however, thank you for joining our coverage of the AFC Championship, and wherever you’re reading, good morning, afternoon or goodnight.
