For the second time in his three Super Bowl appearances, Patrick Mahomes overcame a double-digit deficit to give the Kansas City Chiefs the Lombardi Trophy. Down 21-14 at the half, and with a serious disadvantage in time of possession, Mahomes did what he does in the second half — he took over, did all his wizard stuff, and brought the Chiefs back from the edge of defeat with a 38-35 victory.
It was a majestic performance, though Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts may have actually outdone Mahomes in defeat. While Mahomes completed 21 of 27 passes for 187 yards, three touchdowns, and a passer rating of 131.8, Hurts completed 27 of 38 passes for 304 yards, one touchdown, no interceptions, and a passer rating of 103.4.
